I haven't listened for years ... and when I happen to turn it on? I quickly turn it off. The music of today just isn't that interesting.

Brilliant, Kevin. Killer pop that brings all sorts of influences into it. Really, really good. 'That's what I'm talking about!' First listen, and it's one of my favs of yours. I'd listen to it on the radio, even.
The vocal sounds kinda dark and muffled in the verses - proximity effect. Cut some low end, and maybe throw some air on it.

Fun song-I might/would have made some different sound choices, that guitar is pretty blaring/harsh in the open-cool part though. The piano sound is kinda weird, electronic sounding-seems like a regular piano sound woulda been just fine. The vocals sound great-the stacked vocals sound really cool. The guitar solo sound is overbearing-doesn't sound right for the song IMO. Real drums? that high hat work is nice! Overall an enjoyable listen!

Sorry about the delay in reply, Strat. I'm on vacation in Maine, and my computer attendance drops commensurately.
They are midi drums. NI's "Battery", I believe ... but I'd have to check.
I meant to have the piano sound sort of "off". Actually, if you noticed, I detuned the BGVs (the la las) at the very end so that they would also sound "off". I meant both as "lyrical accentuates" in the production technique ... playing on the radio these days sounds "off" theme.
The guitar being played in the solos is ironically, a Strat. The solo was done my my old college band guitarist. He passed several years ago ... so it stays (and I know sentimentality is the wrong reason to keep something, but that's just me.)

A very good mix. Love all the parts. Great harmonies.
The lead vocal is a little wooly. It gets covered in spots and can be hard to understand here and there.
The little lead riff is a little brittle. To a lesser extent, so is the lead guitar.
Minor things though.

I can't add much here that hasn't already been said, other than to say I enjoyed this one. That damn Soundcloud really clobbers the high frequencies in its file compression.
I'm not a big fan of the 80's electric RnB piano, that's just a pet peeve of mine. Love the chorus and the break to the "oooooh".

The guitars are brutal, not in a good way. But if you wanna keep em, that's your choice. It's got the classic programmed drums problem - terrible hats/cymbal sounds, sounds like a robot. Not much you can do about that. Vocals are pretty good to me. Bass is a little nondescript.
I write a song last year called "My Radio is Broke" basically saying the same thing. Radio is shit. I scrapped it though because my song was shit just like the radio.
