I had a recording artist on my production company to help with vocal recordings.

She then went out and got her own management, and then because I am not at all on a level where I could sustain and expand her talent. They left.

I have still got all the songs I wrote, mostly love songs and even got her to record some reference tracks for the Male vocalist.

I have since got a new brown sugar on my productions. I am not a great beat maker and the plan is to put the songs on far better instrumentation.

Let me know if I should still get my Lionel Ritchie on or concentrate on the graft that's paying the bills ? It's called 'High Standards'.



acapella.



rough cut.

:salute:

Oh man I got stickied. That's a blessing perhaps I was too quick to post the works.

We were doing YouTube videos but one of them had 'Life - Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence skit' and got taken down.

I've done a few clips here and there in Launderettes, Train Stations, Parks. Trying to get that arthouse acoustic real songbird vibe but with slapping knocks.

I write the lyrics and melody, I have reference tracks I recorded myself then gave to the vocal talent.

I am yet to make one red cent but it has lead to other ventures but to be fair all my revenue consist of me punching in the clock and doing coverwork every now and again I might sell a painting or get commissioned for illustrative work.

Here is me singing the song, and then the vocal talent. The girls voice in 'Little Big Things' a lovely african girl with music school experience. She believes in me a little bit so I am going to see how it goes.



^ just listen to like 3 seconds my voice is terrible but it is a reference I pass on to the vocalists.



^ I am working on the instruments and drums but thats my works. I have a small collection. It was all going to be animated stars but someone told me that is stupid. That I should use real talent. I don't know though I think animation is easier to present. Due to the AI apps for creatives being like 4 years old now it had me changing my whole style.

So anyone aware of the text to image prompting like flux, ideogram,midjourney and etc. There you can make all your works even better by upscaling and altering so my illustrations will end up looking like some Manga Anime Pro league level. Still doing bits and pieces but all this new tech makes things much easier and a far better execution.

Props Bro.

Luckily that is the only female vocalist I work with, I got a new dude who can sing like a young Steve Winwood. I hope he blows up big time he is just recording tracks making a little earner of each one he does. Neither the female or male are interested in doing voice over work to help the records for the animation series.

I'm trying to be another YouTube hiphop animation show and keep it topical and current. Sort of like the brother below :



I needed more voices for characters ad now AI voice converter has allowed me run some skits and see this and that. Thanks for the feedback.

The chick in the first song you thought was fairly average, I appreciate that critique. I had some of the songs we did re-recorded by the African girl I'm working with. The first chick started off enthusiastic when we working then after that she was OD lazy with what I was getting back then she went out and got management lol.

The African girl is not overly keen either and doesn't have the right confidence for stage, I suggested the animation route but she rather just record the songs and see what I can do with it. Which at the moment is just a small collection of songs waiting for the best I can do in terms of presentation. Thanks Bro.

That rough cut you posted on your first post is slamming, imo her vocals ruin the song and don’t go with the beat, need some uptempo vocals on there and a rap verse, and I’d rock with it

You should try yo license this record to a indie movie or indie movie house wing to a big movie house. It has indie movie montage written all over it.
Hopefully you copywrighted and published this before posting.
I would not post shyt else to the coli. As people steal from here.

If you get somewhere from my suggestion. Pay it forward.
