Walk Alone

Before lyrics came in I was into the music, loved it. Lyrics works and breathes on the tracks. Actually I love the lyrics and this track is great. There's not much to this music, it stops short of being a dance track, that's the magic of it.

Leigh knows what it means to walk alone. She sang it just right. Vocally not as strong as the others I've heard, but did what it was suppose to do.

Chorus made strong by the harmonies to accentuate Leigh's straight forward vocals.

Mixed very well. I just kept playing this one on my heavy duty speakers as it was so haunting and well recorded.

Leigh seems to only have one tone, I hope I'm wrong, so it'd be good to hear something a bit more melodic, as you can't sing this style all the time. Want to hear a variation in her voice.

Walk Alone

9 point(s) for Composition / Songwriting
The music has an edgy dance vibe that feels good. The lyrics are deep and heartfelt. Very Creative concept in a time where where it seems pain is more evident. There are songs playing everyday about pain.None like this.

7 point(s) for Performance
Your vocals are average and could use some fine-tuning. Your artistic vibe is what gave this song it's flavor.

8 point(s) for Capture
Sounds like the producer had fun with this. His sound is seasoned and ready for mainstream. Very professional mix.

music is really good, lyrics are OK.

8 point(s) for Performance
the vocal lets it down a bit at the top, before the harmonies and when it's solo'd later.

9 point(s) for Capture
vocal sounds great when it's layered and the delay FX work really well. very nicely produced.

really good production, nice sounds too. track sounds really cool and contemporary yet doesn't attach itself to a particular genre, but has a timeless quality.

A NICE TWISTED INTRO. LOVING THE CHOICE OF SYNTH SOUNDS.
THE VOICE HAS A GREAT PUNKY/EDGY/TRASHY VIBE TO IT & I LOVE THESE TYPE OF MONOTONE/THROW AWAY VOCAL PERFORMANCES.
A WELL THOUGHT OUT STRUCTURE & ARRANGEMENT.
THIS WOULD DEFO GET MY VOTE,

Walk Alone

Potentially interesting but not taken far enough!!

3 point(s) for Performance
The vocal isn't bad - but sounds a little unfocused. The programming is pretty weak sounding. There is not enough attitude here to match and possibly lift the vocal performance too.

4 point(s) for Capture
Hate the vocal effects. Not executed well enough - so lose em!! Tops are a little excessive - hats are a bit brutal! The mix is a little limp all round. Needs a lot more movement/arrangment help!!
