Hi folks!

WOW! Interesting and nice choice of song. And what an unique and enjoyable arrangement, performed with interest, bringing a lot of joy. Thank you!
I think your talent and skilled musicianship shine forth in this music. I like it much. Thank you for sharing

Good to see this David, you have a good way with this kind of feel I think - and I appreciate the skills to do this - very cool. Recommend more of this contemporary arranging, you do it well.

Really enjoying the piano in the overall mix - I think you nailed it - and fun seeing you move to the synth for some solo time

I can see you pushing forward with this vein BTW - definitely encourage you to keep at it, composing your own modern tunes ? (big push for that) and leverage those skills in shining up some demos.. maybe find a singer/composer partner who's interested in pursuing possibilities.

You're onto the beam with production values, so would suggest keep leaning into that.

In terms of artist development I'd think you're showing here formidable skills to acquit a full contemporary project very well - a few projects with collaborators might give you a massive boost to your possibilities. Main advice about that, just don't stay in a project you don't enjoy - even for money - keep being you.

Thanks David for such enjoyment

From a David to a David - that was great!  I loved the 'talkiness' of using the slides with the synthesizer phrases.
