This song is like “I’M SO GOOD GIB MEDAL”. This is a wonderful mix. I’m especially into the bass. Everything in this mix sounds good and well balanced. Vocals are nice and airy with body. This is just fantastic.
Production notes: I think maybe the guitar solo would (TO ME) sound better if it had a darker less plucky sound but that’s an intensely subjective nitpick.

Exactly what one expects for a closer. Disgustingly sexy bass. Live drums??? Really like that bass sound a lot. Horns are a little understated but I kinda like it that way, they work great for support. Lots of great tones going on all around. I like how you approached the vocal production, lots of doubling which fits the citypop vibe. Vocal performance is excellent too. Pretty much everything about this rocks. My one super duper nitpick is I wish the vocals were more present throughout the whole thing but that’s just me. Bass solo made Gregorio Franco pregnant.

The Yakuza games seem to get a lot of love around these parts, and I can definitely see why! This banger of an entry is definitely reaching the top this month. The singer and all performers are superb. I dare predict this was a team effort, and everyone brought their “A” game. I can’t even pick my favorite part, all instruments sound exactly as they should. But if I had to choose, I’d say the vocals really drive this entry home. I’m a sucker for good vocals. What an excellent way to close off a DoD listening party too.

Of course rolling into the end is when we get the jazz/funk sound. Very nice horn sound and tones to start off, and everything is really balanced well here, horns pop out, guitar helps to drive, drum and bass are nice and audible. Vocals come out right away and shine on top. Nice dance-beat groove around 1:20, with the horn flourishes popping out behind the vocals. Balance maintains to be good throughout the first vocal break. Guitar solo is very clean, and is nice and audible but it could come up just a touch against the background. Bass solo is well done, and always appreciated – got some nice riffs there! Like how it then evolves into the solo tradeoffs with the guitar. This is a really well done arrangement anon, would have liked one extra horn soli just to give the horns a bit more love, but that’s a stylistic nitpick more than anything.

Aw yeah, this is my kinda thing for sure, great production and sweet end-credits vibes. Suuuuper nitpicky but I found myself wanting the tempo to be either 5-10bpm faster (good dance/groove tempo) or a little bit slower (100bpm is perfect Bee Gees struttin’ tempo). I kinda want to try adjusting it on my side to see how it would feel… either way, this is good stuff, especially dig the bass solo.

Oh god, this is FABULOUS. Someone woke up one day in April and decided they wanted to win this month. Whoever you are, thank you for gracing my ears with this beautiful piece. Every single element is pristine and full of soul. My only gripe is that the vocals seemingly go away for a long stretch of time, I would have loved for the vocalist to have more shine throughout the middle of the arrangement. Whoever you are, I love you all for bringing this song to life.
