Have you heard of this guy before, Tony Succar? A friend told me about him and I got his cd, it's a banger. He did a very good job on this on. Smooth Criminal
Good stuff. Great to see live vocals and instruments. No way of knowing if the radio release was produced the same way, but so many artists, especially female vocals sound processed to sound similar to Katie Perry's highly unnaturally processed voice sound. Live drums are almost unheard-of on commercial tracks. The warmth and just 'naturalness' is so lacking that few even remember what a 'live cut' sounds like. Carlos Santana still keeps it real..
Jason Durelo's stuff has real high production values using high tech, but still has a bit of a live, loose vibe to it.
