People are probably going to get me on this one, but I'm going to have to flip flop. Embarassed

I listened to the track again on some quality headphones instead of my cheapo speakers, and it sounds less impressive. Much less impressive.

I still say it's an improvement from "Afe'm Se Pa'm", but as it is, it's only okay. It kind of sounds like a MIDI.


I know what you mean, it's more like something you'd hear on a cruise or during karaoke night in Harlem, not at the Grammy's.

PrincessJ, I guess the board didn't know your portfolio. There are giggers and there are trained musicians who don't play as well. lol.
MeiMei thought she could fool us with this. The chord she sings on suits her voice, and you can tell she is not able to reach the higher notes without the help of the "vocoder" or whatever effect is on her voice.

In HMI standards this is fine...let's not compare to Alicia Keys please!!

I don't like that statement at all. Will the HMI ever acquire more singing talents, or even push our singers to become better singers, if we accept that so-called standard of singing anything half decent. See I myself sing and produce, and I told myself that I will never come out with anything, until my vocals are better than most HMI singers. We do not compare her to Alicia Keys, fair enough, but let's compare her to Tina for example, or Tanya St Val, Princess Lover.... She downright sucks compared to these also. We as musicians, fans and critics have to stop accepting that standard. We probably have potential talent in our Industry in terms of female singers, and it's time that we make them work to deserve our appreciation. It's about time all the male and female singers in the industry get themselves vocal coaches and fix this problem.

Interesting arrangement...
Her voice sounds a bit synthesized to me, wonder if she's using a vocoder? She really isn't showing much range on this track, and at times her singing voice sounds like she's talking through the song. I don't know if I would have been so ambitious as to do Alicia Keys, as few people can but Mei Mei did fairly well...she's obviously not tone deaf. In any case, it's a pleasant island sounding remix, nothing remarkable.



BON SE PA SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Hmmm! They added a very nice delay to her voice! Overall acceptable! I guess she's on her way to get rid of that "mei mei pa konn chante tag". She still has to replicate this one live!!! Let's wait and see!!

About the beat! it's not melodious enough...there's a missing element that takes away from the song. The piano should have been emphasized here! The keyboard solo is on point!
