New Song - Vice (New songs added)

Personally, I liked those tracks way more than Vice. She has a great voice and Vice was way overproduced for what it was. I think the style really suits her as well. You can hear the sincerity in here singing. Reminds me of Joni Mitchell though she sounds nothing like her. Seriously though she really has a great voice.

As far as style goes, Ithink it's really important to go follow the path of sincerity. If singing in this way allows her to express herself best, that is the way she should sing. Experimenting is good but if it is a venture into unfamiliar grounds for the sake of trying something new, it may come off as insincere.

Writing with another person might help but let her define the feel.

hue,

Thanks, I understand what you are saying. I think this is her voice though. I like the acoustic stuff better myself.

I'm trying to see if her and Arjen can work on something. She will not play covers (doesn't kno wany anyway) so I think between the two of them they could come up with something pretty cool.

I don't remember which song but to me one of them sounds perfect for some piano,,kinda like Tori Amos or something.

I think it's great that you're encouraging her in this way. My kids haven't really shown any interest in playing music yet but they're young. When they finally find something that they enjoy doing, I hope I can back them up in the same way.

It's funny because I have always been a big sports fan and played sports all my life so I encouraged all of them to play. My wife was a dance instructor so they all took dance lessons until they were teenagers too.

Anyway, I tried to get them into basketball and soccer and Tiffany really excelled at both. She could easily have gotten a scholarship to college for basketball but just didn't want to do it anymore once she was in high school. I tried and tried to try and change her mind but it never worked.

I finally realized I needed to back off some and let her find her own thing. Turns out she's more the artsy type, likes music, painting, sculpture etc. Also really into design.

I've never pushed her too much with her music other than telling her she has a pretty good voice and she should go out and use it more. I would love to make music with her and someday hopefully we will but for now I'd just like to see her do her thing.

very wise. when they approach you it is the best.
an example, my best friensd is a single mom. I practically helped raise her boy. he is taller than me know and could break me in two easy. he always liked listening to me play my guitar. when he became a teen he asked me for music to listen to. he wanted to expand . he liked my first wave rock so I bought him Deep Purple and Rush. both he loved.
next he jioned the school band and learn4ed he had huge talent for drums. we never played together tho.
next, the teacher gave him a bass. he took to it like a lab water. he asked me to show him some things. like how to play up the neck (he new the notes above the fret tweleve and thiose by the nut. I showed him a few things.
next week the teacher was blown away.
now he and his friend want to come over and record something.
very cool. I didnt have to pressure at all.

dog,

That's a neat story. Of course I'm a little biased about my daughter and her talents but I have two other daughters and the middle one sings very well, not quite as good as Tiffany and the yougner one actually is very good on the drums but neither of them really embrace singing or playing much so i don't push them. I'm just happy that they are healthy, normal kids that have never given me any trouble or done too many stupid things. For the most part they turned out well in spite of me being their father.

I would not have normally posted any of my own songs or Tiffany's either but the only thing that's holding her back is her lack of confidence and I was hoping that if I got some positive feedback here that might help her realize that she shouldn't be so self conscious about what she's doing.

She does here music as a hobby if you could even call it that, maybe less than a hobby. She doesn't really spend much time with it that's why i wish she would get alittle more serious. She actually had done some open mic's a few years ago but said that she started getting more and more nervous and hasn't done one in awhile. Hopefully that will change.
