Decided to change it up a bit with a slow trap like song for once, added a robot effect to the vocals

to give it that electronic vibe. It's really not a slow song though considering the tempo is at 150bpm

Taking an a cappella and building a whole song around it is one of my favorite things to do.

There are so many ways to be creative with vocals, and I tried many things before settling for a trap type track.

Any way have a listen and I hope everyone enjoys it. Thanks again to everyone who take the time to listen and comment

I really really really appreciate it.

Lyrics:

you put the work in like its your full time job

to loving me

staying up all night until the morning the morning

you hold me tight and you put both your hands all over me

it feels so right yeah you working over time. mmmm

you working overtime oh oh mmmmm

you put the work in like its your full time job

for loving me

staying up all night until the morning the morning

you hold me tight and you put both your hands all over me

it feels so right yeah you working over time. mmmm

you working overtime oh oh mmmmm

you working overtime

you gotta know what you do to me

making everything nice so easy

you move smooth like you already learned my body

you come through like it's one of your hobbies

I can see that it comes so naturally naturally

Absolutely fresh. Slightly minimal but each element is absolutely beautiful. I feel like when I write music it's a ton of elements working together and the lesser shit gets hidden. You mixed this in a way that I can hear everything perfectly, nothing is being hidden, and it's all good. Had to give this a listen on the living room speakers, was worth it for that sub. Classic subby pitch bends, clean arps padding the atmosphere, cute plucked strings, snappy up pitch snares, wonderful vocal samples, orc instruments used sparingly, cute synth voice modulations.

Beautifully written <3

Wow!!!! Thank you so much for that review. I'm used to mixing orchestra and film music which you know have so many stems, so it's natural for some instruments to get lost in the mix, but for me mixing EDM, where there's not to many stems it's easier to showcase all of the instruments and sounds a lot easier. Still, mixing is a whole art in its own and I still have not mastered that as of yet and let's not even talk about mastering OMG!! Lol
You are so appreciated!!
