Hello sir ….
I came across your cover “Cars and Parties” Edith Frost in the Internet Archive and i think your voice fits perfectly with the song.
Much better than the original in my opinion.
I am a music producer my self.
I was wondering if you can post the voice stems in the Archive.
So i can make a POP / electronic ….remix for non commercial purposes.
Hi! I’m sad to say that I don’t have the original stems. My computer crashed in the early part of this project and I limped through…so for most songs I just have the mixdowns. It would be interesting to hear remixes!
