Frankly a ridiculous effort. I've been deliberately experimenting with trying to write in genres I'm not really familiar with. This is sposed to be a 60s soul/R&B tune. It's a pretty dirty vocal and I spent half the time recording them laughing my ass off cos it's so out of my comfort zone.

I think it's cute. I enjoyed it!  :)

Actually meant to put this in the work in progress thread so it's pretty raw.

@Dan -- An interesting and enjoyable track, Dan! It definitely has a 60s vibe. I admire you for bravely experimenting with genres out of your comfort zone. I can imagine the song in a campy 'b' movie from the 60s. I really like the woman in the video image—all black attire, black hat, black shades, svelte, and a big gun! She's looks like she's on a mission, but she's adorable! Good song, man! Thanks for posting! :D

Cheers,

I think you've achieved a truly authentic dirty sound, although sometimes, especially when you double your voice, the volume sounds a bit high, but I like everything else: the rhythm, the tempo, the insistent guitar with its obsessive gimmick, and the catchy song played by a piano completely from the era in which your adventure takes us.

Dan

Yeah, listening back the vocal does need to be dipped a bit.

Thanks guys for taking the time to listen amd feedback.

Rightly

Re: comments...I've tweaked the volume on my vocals. That's literally all I've done to the track but if anyone cares I've reposted.

@Dan -- I gave She's a Hellraiser a second listen following your refinement. Nice job with the vocal volume adjustment. It sounds even better now. Cool track, man! 8)
