I added BIAB drums, bass, guitar and backing vocals to this original track by me (using EZKeys and Orange Tree Samples' Passion Flute) with lead vocal improv by Nevae, a French recording artist. Mixed in Mixcraft using basic kinds of plug-ins, tedious to list them all but nothing "magic" there.

This is a very nice lounge piece. It's a very nice listen. Good work!

Ken, cool tune, and dynamite vocals by Nevae. Nice job blending BiaB instruments into your original track. All sounds very warm and laid back.

Ooo. Love those changes and the feel. Vocals are perfect, and I dig what you added. More. More. More.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks all for taking the time to listen and feedback. BabuMusic, not sure how much more like that I can pull off... Lucky stars including super-nova Nevae just happened to align for this one

Excellent production is all aspects. Nevae sounds sounds incredible. Was she prepackaged or did she record live for you? I enjoyed the song. Very relaxing jazz.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks for taking the time to listen and feedback.

I just sent Nevae, whom I contacted on Fiverr, the basic track (piano, bass, drums) and asked for "something on top". Describing it as just a rough sketch to give me an idea, she came back with what you hear, plus another 15-20% more (she riffed throughout) which, biting my lip, I cut here and there just to let things breathe, and to avoid the too-much-of a-good-thing trap, and added the guitar.

Though she did reappear as the flute (I used melodyne to convert her voice to midi, which I fed to a Kontakt library).

This is a really lovely relaxing piece, but without doubt Nevae's beautiful vocals make it shine. When not improvising she obviously sings in French, but does she sing in English, too?

She sings in various languages including English.

She's no longer doing topline work as she wants to focus on other types of projects. Her Fiverr page for that gig, however, is still up, althuugh it notes that the "service is on hold". Check her demo video there, it's a 34 second ramp to heaven

https://www.fiverr.com/nevaemusic/c..._id=6021d669-d518-4bc9-9466-763fb1c8b8d9

Sort of like a fever dream about a girfriend you never had

Based on that demo, I was moved to track her down and ask her to consider doing the topline thing anyway as a one-off. Thankfully she gave the track a listen and said ok. Without her it would just be a piece of rich person's elevator music.

Thanks for that link. I checked out Fiver and I'll definitely be using one of those vocalists for a song I have which needs a unique female voice.
