It's not really reggae - more like a pop ska as it has a brisk tempo.
The female vocal is great- as is the melody.Well captured.
Fun stuff. A translation would be nice.


Cheers

Hello, rayc

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
Yes, you are right.
I seldom listen to reggae songs.
I prefer Latin Music such as Cuban Salsa, Samba, Bossa Nova, Tango and etc.
So I have no feelings of Reggae, but I like the rythm.
BIAB is very helpful when making music which genre we are not good at.

Best Regards.

Hello, Even If

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
And many thanks for your comments to the vocal.

Followings is translation of the lyrics.
Please forgive my poor English if you don't understand them well.

"Dating in the afternoon"

Please don’t look back at me only for a little time
My rouge was disturbed by your sudden naughty kiss in the cloud

Please wait until my makeup will be done
It does not mean teasing you

I turned around but you don’t say anything
My makeup is perfect, isn’t it?
Ain’t I looking good?

I hope you say I'm beautiful
But you are not sensible
What an innocent guy you are

I want you to convey your feelings with words
Most of girls will be satisfied only if the words could be heard

You know words of love is a magic, don’t you?
I always want you to tell me such words just only for me

Best Regards.

Shigeki,

This is very well done and definitely refreshing!
The female vocals are perfect.
Ain't it fun to experiment with several styles ;-)

Yes, it'a a good idea to experiment with several styles.
Maybe Latin or Motown.

Wow! Excellent job on this in every way! The vocals are not only beautifully sung, but your recording of them is absolutely clear!

I liked the rapped male lyrics.. all of it works together very well!

Is the photo on the top right of your song actually your friend Yoko? BEAUTIFUL young lady!

You are a man of many musical talents! I think you can do anything musical with great skill!

Fun and lively!! Yoko did a great job on the vocals! Very nicely put together, and I really like the contrast in vocal styles between Yoko and the male vocal. Good job! Take care. Greg

Hello, Pat

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and comment.
Much appreciate your very very kind words always.
The photo on the top right of my song is actually my friend Yoko, but it was taken about 7 or 8 years ago.
She is older than the photo now, but she is a valuable asset to my music more than ever.

Best Regards.

Well crafted and very enjoyable. And lovely vocals too.

I'm glad that you posted the lyrics. I find them to be refreshing and innocent and there is truth in them - always the best kind.
