-Opening-Random
***It's actually good stuff. I would have balanced the entire track differently though if I was the Myxer/Producer. Your just a bit disconnected from the music sometime. Also smooth out your harmonies and bring the volume on them down a little bit. Those vocals need to be real smooth with this track. Don't hit the harmony so tough, just be smoooth with it. Instead of "You WERE my first love" Try "yoou weeeere my firsttt loove....(fade)" if you can feel what im saying...make it legato so it doesn't follow so heavy on the drums, it needs to flow easily.***
-HARMONY-
Higher notes carry further and are naturally louder to the ears thus need to be softer or they overpower lower notes, and generally the lower note is more important, as they tend to be the foundation of the harmony chord. I would have used different vocal harmony notes though but for the most part I liked the note selection.
-----
Also I thought your voice as smooth as it was could have had a bit more heart in it towards the middle. The heart was there at the start but emotionally faded out towards the end. Also another sidenote is your voice is on a bit of a low end mic I guess so. So you gotta EQ it and Dynamically Process it.
Honestly towards the center levels, the notes begin to leave your easy-smooth natural level. So I would have lowered the key of the beat so the note peak was a bit lower so you don't have to strain to hit the peak notes on the chorus. It just seemed strained a bit hitting the WEREs and such. Overall though I loved the concept, it would be ten times better if the harmonies were smooth and the voice was EQ to have a higher tonal phase. Love it though.
-The RAP didn't have good lyrics honestly.
-The rhymes themselves were bad in general because they got highlighted, like each word that word rhymed was really underlined, either by direct pauses or the voice being louder. "Doesn't encourage me to remember the lines."
-To many syllables in some of the words I suppose, sounds like speeding through words to get to the next line.
-The stops inbetween the lines for the harmony lines felt forced instead of natural. Like there was nothing else to say, so he stopped: then harmony. "Neither pleasant to listen to or creative." If it was one of those it'd be ok.
-In general raps don't have to rhyme constantly but they need to atleast be poetic in form. This did neither.
-REWRITE. OR ELIMINATE.
-On a creative expressive tone the rap in general didn't do anything for the song and had no feeling behind it. Raps in RnB songs like this need to be smooth like the vocals no exception. Your singing about love, he needs to rap about love and feel it. I feel no emotion, make us feel emotional. First love! Come on that's what's important. Tell a story about her. Her being "FINE" is ok, but the song is deeper then that. Match it emotionally. That's really why I didn't like the rap. It lacked poetic quality and depth.
Overall MIX the track better as far as balance all across the board, harmony lines generally need to be underneath the lead and softer. "I'm not saying that to fit some sort of status quo. I'm saying it because it sounds much better and the quality of the harmonies are more pronouced."
Final Thoughts and Summary.
Rap-Bad
Vocal Lead-Good needs better balance and EQ. Loved the AD-LIBS though. Those "yeahs and mmms" were soulful. Nice.
Vocal Harmony-Balance.
FINAL SCORE
