you are a hit machine. i've never seen anyone so consistently great. everyone has their bad fights but not you. you're solid gold. i don't know if you'll take this as an insult or not, but your voice sounds just like phil colins' in a few parts of this track. i like it. are all these instruments live? i use flutes and stuff sometimes from patches on reason but everything on your tracks sound real. great genre hop. very funky. i don't know if it's my speakers but sometimes your bass seems a little loud. it is insane that you are able to make songs this good in only five days. it was an honor to to do nur ein with you.

Very nice sounding. I've gotta admit I've kind of got you pegged as a conventional songwriter type which isn't exactly fair as your songs do take unexpected turns fairly regularly, I'd even go so far as to say that you could benefit from losing a section or two here. I used to be all about a constantly changing structure and ephemeral songs but they do make songs seem a lot longer than they actually are (see Biffy Clyro, they make 3 minutes songs feel like 5 minute ones, and certainly not because they're shit). So although I like this a bunch, I keep expecting it to end but it just keeps going and going even though it's only 3 and a bit minutes long, and I start to tire slightly even when, say, that section at 2.28 starts, which is one of my favourite parts but my brain is thinking "is this thing ever gonna end?". I think you suffer from losing momentum at too many points in this song, rather than 2 massive choruses you've got about 4 that pass me by, it starts to feel like it's losing it's focus at the 1 minute mark. There is a really great song in here but it needs a lot of editing, and I think at this late stage you've shown a lack of discipline which could harm you.
