Nobody's wearing Afrobeats merch bro. We're talking about SHOWS and shows are not streaming. The nigerian diaspora is global, ReggaeTonBeats is whereever they are. Not "selling out shows" in LA or Chicago, though. Not enough of y'all around.

Try it now

Had to take Adblock off (I'm on Mobile).

This song is flames, I just want to say, the beat sounds Bass heavy. At certain points during the song I'm having trouble deciphering the lyrics, but I caught this part:

"You are so fine, extremely well designed" :whew::ohlawd:

You gonna have to drop that EP with The Bushes and Nicole's Song included with this. I'd legitimately buy it.

I made this record and I wanted to drop it here and get some feedback. It's R&B. The type of R&B I like. Not this modern stuff we here today. Ya'll be honest with me :sadcam:



Edit - my shyt went from 5 plays to 105 since I made this thread. Good looking out yall :salute:
So the main critique I'm getting is the quality. I've been working on it a bit and I think I managed to up the quality a bit. But understand, I'm never gonna be able to get professional quality from my home studio. I'm just not there yet. If ya'll could see my studio setup, ya'll would clown me:mjcry:
I just want my mix to be clean. I'm gonna replace the track with the newer version.

Love it.🥰 Fits right in my quiet storm mix.👏🏿 Keep at it!

This could really be big with a little vocal coaching and some studio magic on the mixing. Maybe see if you can get some work as a songwriter. I think you actually got the talent to do it all yourself, but i know that life has given you a couple limitations along the way and it takes time and space to really dial in a hit. At least you could still have a foot in the game if not just for your writing ability though.

Bump.

I made another song. Added it to the OP. Can I get some more feedback? I've been trying to work on the mixing aspect, and I think this track is a lot cleaner than the first one.

Did you clean up the quality on the first one? Playing it on my headphones, it sounds really crisp now.

I didn't. I'm still working on it. I can definitely hear a difference between the 1st one and the 2nd one quality wise though. The 1st track is muddy and kind of thick sounding to me. The 2nd is more crisp.

Can't comment on the mixing quality because the first song now sounds good through these earphones that i'm using, but the second song is dope. Gotta sat that I don't really care for that woo! noise though. Sounds too artificial, and distracts me from the actual song. It's great otherwise though.
