Elle McAndrews – Tassels

This is a good song, but it could be so much better with a quality producer and a tiny bit of re-work. To improve it and really make it a great song itโ€™d need:

1) Double tracking on the vocals. This isnโ€™t a live performance (thatโ€™s lip syncing in the vid). Use the advantages you have.

2) More dynamic bassline. Itโ€™s too static. It needs to groove. The keyboard hook is good but the bassline is a dead fish.

3) It should bump up the voice during phrases and let the instruments breathe during rests.

4) The song needs more vocal underlayering with chorus ducking during the singerโ€™s phrases.

5) The drummer is just not very good. Use electronic drums or a better drummer.

Give me a few hours mucking around in Ableton and I could make this song a lot better.
