Soul
Reviewer: - Gigimon; Albuquerque, New Mexico
Love to hear powerhouse voices! I like the lyrics. You know how to flow to the music. Unique style!

nice intro
Reviewer: - gridlocc; Sacramento, California
I like the intro to this track, phat baseline followed by very nice vocal, tight groove.

Jazzy
Reviewer: - bkoolyn; Tuscaloosa, Alabama
I can see the vocal power you have. I see the jazzy feel this track has as well. Keep up the music. Make music don't let music make you.

nice vocals
Reviewer: - scariella; New York
Good job on the vocals. Bass in the mix is nice-thumpin. Very original. I'm feelin the rain sound in the backround. Nice touch to fit the mood.

Another flawless voice
Reviewer: - AlexanderG ; Rome, Italy
Cool intro with the sound of the sea, a storm in the air and the driving rain. It immediately sets out an interesting atmosphere.
Then a beautiful and sweet female voice comes into the song nicely, merging perfectly with the keyboards' sound. Good voice, excellent range and incredible control of the voice. She really knows how to sing. Another flawless female performance. Wow, shivers down my back.
The melody is nice, Good arrangement and musicianship. The choice of sounds is very original.
Overall, a very good song in its genre.

Review of Rain by Garageband Gold Member: Thoughtful and not overdone vocals make this a better listening grooving song. I'd love to hear it with a live band. Nice pipes girl!

Reviewer: - krunch, long beach, california

heart
Reviewer: - Uncle_Daddy, Brushton, New York
Review by Garageband Gold Member: Sound effects are cool. Bass is tight. Keys are of the hook. Singer sounds hot. I picture her wearing a long dress with a slit on one side up to her thigh and singing while lying on top of a piano.

Smooth
Reviewer: - reginaldec1237, Sugar Hill, Georgia
Review of Rain by Garageband Gold Member: I would love to hear a high fidelity version of this. The bass hits in the verse remind me of the Stylistics "People Make the World Go Round". After that, however, it takes on a life of it's own in a smooth bridge and chorus. Well done

Nice sound effects in intro
Reviewer: - powderdusk, Lower Mainland, British Columbia, Canada span>
Very nice. Funky bass line with the drums. This song got my head moving. Nice vox, sexy sound. Vocals are a cross between Erykah Badu and Cassandra Wilson. Solid.

A nice little jazzy R&B Track
Reviewer: - LifelineProject, Oceanside, New York
Review of Rain by Garageband Gold Member: This is a nice little jazzy R&B Track. The vocals are outstanding, and the singer has a nice range. The track seemed to draw me in more and more. The vocals are incredible, especially at the end. The arrangement is incredible. It reminds me of Vivian Greene, and this song is ready for primetime. It's definetly a must have track. The Lyrics are tasty and the delivery really brings the vocals to life. The melody is amazing. The beat is tight, and I felt like i was in a jazz nightclub. It gave me the feeling of a tight band and incredible blues/jazz/R&B singer. The track is truely amazing.

Thank God for the Rhodes
Reviewer: - lordbygon, Bologna, Italy
Review of Rain by Grageband Gold Member: Probably I am reviewing r'n'b songs because I know that every two or three songs I will find a soulful and sophisticated mood lead by a Fender Rhodes keyboard.. and I am an addicted to the good old Rhodie. In this song, the Rhodes creates the atmosphere and the melody (well sung by a good female voice that maybe I have already heard, I'm not a newbie in the indie world) does the rest, building a tasteful song.
