nice tune and singing, but the piano work doesn't always quite fit in too well... particularly in the "touch me..." kiss me..." parts..
the chorus on the vocals at 1:30-1:45 is awesome.
I like the piano during the chorus...it is spicy...and that sharp note at the end of the measure really adds a detailed dark feel. At first listen it comes out of nowhere, but by the second chorus you are anticipating it, and it is magical! Yeah those harmonies at 1:30 are straight genius pop!

She came up with the whole song in the studio in about 45 min and is her favorite of her songs. She wrote the lyrics.
Who wrote the melody? I can write lyrics, but I can't write melodies at all, I always wondered how a song gets written, melodies + lyrics. Did she ever have professional vocal training?
I sorta want to be a singer, but I don't have the slightest clue where to start.
As an opera major... I would say that the arrangement is a little to much on her low end.. she has more confidence in the higher notes... dropping that low is nice for effect especially in an emotional song, but it lingers there a little too long. transpose it up a few keys and you're jammin. Shes got a fine voice, just needs to tune it a little higher.

ok on further review I might be SLIGHTLY wrong.. its also possible that in addition to a shaky lower range it was also mixed badly... that sounds like either a steinway 6 or a good yamaha, and the piano is kicking her ass a little.. mix it down and her up and you're closer to magic.

Originally posted by liquidkid Recently took 2 sessions at a local vocal coach.... other than that, none.
She has a tendency to go flat whenever she has to sustain a note, and she doesn't sound as confident as she could be pitchwise when she hits some of her notes.. you can almost hear the "am I really doing this right" thoughts in her voice a few times.
A good vocal coach could help alot with those things. She's definitely got some good raw material to work with.
I spent alot of my childhood listening to singers.. unwillingly in the beginning. My dad was a classical conductor and pianist, and he used to coach opera singers for the Nottingham School of Music 4 nights a week in our house.
