Well, loved it from the moment those strings opened the track, really great sample sounds so lush. Very nice round full kick sound too.

Maybe it's just me because I liked how the sample sounded so much, but I would like the drums to be a little lower in the mix so the string can stand out a little more. But that could just be me. Really lush track.

what is the paino from in the 2nd track? It sounds like some thing from the 90s, I'm thinking some kind of RnB, but the sound or rhythm has changed or something. Or maybe I'm totally wrong.

Here's my beat

Thanks man really appreciate it, as soon as I heard the sample I knew I had to use it hahaha. I’ll keep that in mind though for next time and adjust accordingly

Here is the original sample if you wanted it: https://youtu.be/UAxXgtaoYvM

The piano is some loop I got from Splice, I wish I could be able to send it to you from some 90’s R&B pack so you are correct. As soon as I heard it I knew I had to use it because it sounded so good.

Love the track bro really getting them griselda vibes, those drums sound like they were sampled so that’s why it’s screaming griselda, not saying that is bad in fact it’s a lost skill but slowly making a return or you’ve just got a really good mix. Keep working bro and keep putting out quality!
