Hey minglers,,,

my teen son is getting serious about his music and starting to work on some things,, he would love feedback on a song he made with his cousin,,,,

thanx

How old is he? This isn't bad, but I must say this type of music is not my cup of tea. I would suggest backing off the robot vocals a little and not rely so heavily on them and create a better hook. Tell him to start sending his stuff out to producers and radio stations, you never know what someone will hear.

thanx, hes 18 and thats what I told him. He is learning and loves the autotune feature for some reason. Im trying to get him to go with no vocal enhancement, but its gonna be a while,,lol

I think he will go far!
I do totaly agree with boredinaz06.

actually, it is pretty good, singing and the mixing was excellent! he might have a good shot at something there... good luck to him

fingers crossed,,,he loves music,,,,Im hoping he can make a living doing something he loves,, so few of us get to,,,

Ok... I could hear his concept..... The flow was a little off. Sounds like he has good vocal potential....

Ask him to study & listen to the following styles it might help.

Yellow Magic - (Electronic Musical flow - chaos with concept)

Zapp & Roger - More Bounce To The Ounce (Funk & Mix)

THE TEMPTATIONS "I WISH IT WOULD RAIN" (Vocals & Harmonies)

Oldies: 1960 Soul Singers - He can copy & search their names on Youtube, and study their styles. Theses examples & styles can help him reach his vocal potential.

I thought it was very impressive! Personally, I liked the mix that he used...very catchy tune. I would have liked to seen them in person on the video singing it.

thanx up,, with the exception of yellow magic he has actually watched me perform those other tunes for years,,,lol

he seems to 'appreciate' it, but his preference remains the Nikki Minaj, Chris Brown, Drake, Rihanna,,,,styles...

ty, he certainly loves being seen,,,lol

I have listened to it a few times. It's not a bad song or mix. Best of luck to him.

Your son has a good voice! Tell him to get in touch with Kanye West's rep and get him started like Usher did with the Biebs lol But he's got some potential. the lyrics are interesting as well.

Our first step is moving out to california, but I do know the importance of networking,,, thanx for the advice.

I appreciate his style and very much enjoyed it, raising 4 kids and youngest is all into his style....I believe if he did another, ask him to slide a little dubstep in with his style, that would make another genre really great.....(: Congrats on having such a talented young man......

awww.. thanx YaYa

I will certainly show him what you posted,,,

I like the mellowness of the song. I listen to trance a lot. My favorite is the French Rivera sound. I was wondering if he would consider doing nature sounds in his music.

I liked it very much. The autotune feature is fun. However, I wouldn't use the autotune because it sounds too generic, but I know from composing myself that we must do what suits us and what's fun to us. The music itself and mixing was impressive and I really mean that.

kinda reminds me of 009 sound system. does he know that group? not bad though.

here is another he did (rap style) with his good friend,,,
