Janne,
Glad you were able to save this one before leaving it on the shelf too long! I certainly know how it feels to let a neglected tune slip away from memory! It's a lovely sounding lighter feeling tune! You did an excellent job all around on it, especially with the synth voice!
Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey for your great feedback  Janne

The first posted human/synth vocals ... Wow!
What a delightful duet this is!
You and Solaria make a great team.
We’re glad you took this down from the shelf. It is quite witty and the African beat sounds so “happy” that you had us both smiling.
And it’s all wrapped up in a fine mix too.
We really enjoyed this most cool production!
J&B

Hi Janne, Well, first of all I'm happy you decided to release this one! What a fantastic groove, just love the rhythm. Wonderful sounding mix. But, best of all, I love the lyrics! Really well written, very clever, and very funny! Very much enjoyed this one. I'm too old to party too BTW

Ohhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooo! I do not want to hear that message! Just kidding. A very funny song with a lot of great lines. The happy African rhythms were perfect for this kind of song. Great work with the synth voice. A lot of fun listening to this! Thanks TM for your positive words Glad you found great lines and fun in the lyrics. I agree that African rhythms are happy and makes you want to dance, I just wish I could have been able to write a vocal choir in African style also, like Paul Simon did on Homeless. Janne

Janne,
That is one funny tune. Very good effort of using vocal synth! Unusual and interesting Afro flavor. And to me this answers your question. In my view, there is a very special beauty in all non standard approaches to music. It is like seeing a coconut palm tree growing in Helsinki, makes you wonder. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks Misha for your kind and supportive comment I agree about non-standard approaches, I admire the way you do it. I hope I can keep on finding new angles on my arrangements, although with BIAB it is quite easy to keep on using the recommended styles. Janne

Definitely a fun song.
The melody you wrote for Solaria is fantastic. I little tidying of the unison vocal timing is my only suggestion.
Cheers

What a cool groove to the song Janne. Love the vocals. Excellent duet. The vocaloid is such a cool piece of technology. Well done..

Lots of fun!!!! Yeah, I can really relate to the "too old" thing......I have gotten to be unable to stay up late and burn the candle at both ends, or even one!! Really cool stuff!!! Mix sounds great!! Take care. Greg

Fun, upbeat and funny lyrics. And it sounds awesome through my headphones. The keys coming in at the chorus gives a nice lift. And the flutes were a real treat. I love the contrast between the two voices, as well as the call and response. You two sound good together!  The definitely shouldn't be on the shelf! Thanks David for your very kind words I'm glad that you loved the contrast, I was bit worried that the voices sound too different or are mixed too differently. Hmmm we sound good together, nice to hear, maybe I'll duet another one with Solaria, although there are new tough competitors for her Janne

Janne, I won't make jokes about you're being to old to party, but your AI-singer surely isn't.
Although I'm worried that you think you're too old for red wine too!
Seriously; a very nice tropical song! And I very much like your duet with the AI lady. I just wrote David that I was thinking about trying that one day.
Now you did it!
I had some hope though you would have used a steelband in your song (in the chorusses for instance).
Nevertheless, a very funny entertaining song!
Hans
Thanks Hans for your kind and funny comment Well I'm not too old for red wine yet, so I guess that means I can still party without falling asleep in the middle of my strange dancing Steel band is a very good idea, although I'm not sure it would work with an African band. I wonder whether there is a similar African instrument (I guess it was brought to the Caribbean by enslaved African so in that sense it could be logical). Janne

Janne,
Your lyrics are always interesting. And, in this case, with a sense of humor.
You and Solaria do a good job on vocals. You sound good together.
I like that you "experiment" with tracks.
Percussion is cool. (I thought it could have used some more variance along the way).
Enjoyed the listen.
fj Thanks fj for your kind feedback Glad you liked my duet with Solaria. You are right about having more variance, maybe there were not enough interesting variations in the VST, or those I used were left for the demo version of the song and I forgot to work on that more, thanks for the thought. Janne

This must be the absolute most funniest songs I've ever heard. No offense to Lawrence Welk and the Geritol commercials, but they can't hold a candle to this. You are one creative dude ! To any youngbloods out there that are smirking, just wait . . . you'll be singing this soon Thanks BT for your heartwarming feedback I'm truly honored of the "absolute most funniest songs" title Janne

A fun listen. Really lovely use of Solaria and she blends nicely with you.
A really interesting percussion bed drives the song and an amusing lyric is quite evocative.
Good song.
Peter
Thanks Peter for your kind words I'm glad you found the lyric amusing. Janne

Janne,
It's a very unusual genre for your song.
Very strange rhythm.
I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with African music.
The duet fits perfectly.
The vocal synth is really nice.
Please also post such a fun song from time to time.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

I was smiling for the entire listen.
Excellent band! Time to start dancing; no matter how old you are!

As he often does, David said most of what I was thinking. I'll be 76 pretty soon, but still party when I can. Fortunately, I have very few pains and get along pretty good. Nice sound - lively and fun. Great job! Alan Thanks Alan for your kind feedback Good to hear that you are still able and willing to party, I wish you long life Janne

Interesting and original song, Janne.
For me, your male vocal needs to come up just a tad.
Great effort.
Vic
Thanks Vic for your kind words You are probably right about my vocal level, it is quite difficult to mix two completely different range of voices. Janne
