At the end of the day, the songs sound every bit a major label performance, radio ready, from singers who've never come close before.
You know, alot of people think you just get behind the mic, do a take or two and thats your performance, then they wonder why their stuff doesnt quite stand up to the radio. Its always the producers fault or the mixers fault. Its never THEIR fault for not spending 2 days on vocals instead of two hours. Making great records often takes ALOT of time, alot of pushing yourself or your artist beyond what they thought they could do, then trying to top that. But thats what i do on most of the records i make and the results speak for themselves :-)
