Hi all!

After processing the input I've gotten here and discussions with the best Dutch studio engineers around, I finalized the first mixes of my upcoming album, called "Too".

So I proudly present the song "Cold Is the Night", this time with the complete intro. And here is also the song "Selena".

Like both songs alot, especially CITN. Only one thing, I love the first song, the music, intro, everything........but for some reason not digging the vocals as much, to me it sounds like he's holding back or something or maybe I just need more power/punch when it comes to vocals. It's mainly in the first part, he sounds better to me halfway through the song though. But as much as I like the first song, I prefer the vocals in Selena better. Just my honest opinion.

Thanks for you opinion, Deb.

I really appreciate that you took time to listen to these and I do see your point. It goes to show that music taste is personal, which is a good thing. I myself like the laid backness in the vocals in the verses, since for me it helps build up the dynamics to the chorus. And once you hear the rest of the song you'll hear Danny add power to the lead vocals. But it's a type of voice that's not for everyone, I see that.
