Siren - AZ mix
#2
I can imagine this as a perfect bonus track, kinda a halfway remix (nor a simple extended cut, like primitive remixes, nor a complete deconstruction). That intro is great, so carefully built. Same for the break, which is way too long for a pop mix but works very well here. If 2 hours is the time you need to do those edits, then I'm doing something wrong!

Those hard to balance vocals yep, weakest part of the mix since they are just too muffled and distant sounding from the beginning, when the sparse first verse seems to ask for a close-nasty vocal to fill the space. The choruses don't work for a "official" mix because there's no reward without present and juicy vocals, but they'd be great as part of a long, extended second half. And yes, last chorus sounds phasey and messy.

There's a feeling of emptiness, probably because the steady parts (loops, bass and vocal) are soft and there's too much noticeable reverb filling the space, plus some ear candy parts that are just drawing too much attention on themselves, like the cymbal rolls and specially that filter sweeping synth that comes in and out from the second verse. Listening to Kiley's "I believe in you", that tune has the kind of mermaid-like vocals and low end this mix seems to be missing to go beast mode.
