I'm so sorry it took me so long to get over here and listen to this! It's two fabulous performances that join together to be very powerful! Fantastic work! Faved for sure!

Simple and wonderful: I love the sound of the guitar (thanks to 12Strings for sharing the details of his setup with us) and the vocal part is very "well done".
Nothing to say: very controlled singing and clear tone.
I don't know the original, so I cannot say anything on that point, but I can say that like what I hear!
Good job!
Ciao, Domenico

Hi Kenny...a big well done to you and 12String...you might not know it, but in spite of the fact that I make some cluttered tracks & lots of noises, I would just as soon listen to a good song with an acoustic guitar for accompaniment...so suffice to say...I really enjoyed this one a lot....Ed

The vocals, guitar and combined emotion and tone on this are really very good. I'm guessing any further analysis won't be appreciated so I'll just leave it at that.

I have no problem with constructive criticism and I suspect that neither does any one else here, we are all trying to improve musically. What I do have a problem with (and so do others from what I've read) is the arrogant and nasty way you talk down to people in your comments. It has been said to me that you seem to think you are the Simon Cowell of looperman and it looks like you are certainly aiming for that title. Being rude just to be noticed won't win you many friends here. You need to keep in mind that people on this website are at different levels of expertise in their craft. We are not all pros or seasoned musicians, me especially, but we are all trying to express ourselves in the best way can.

Thank you for listening and taking the time to comment.

Best ~ Kenny

Great job guys, awesome guitar playing and sound. Kenny, you have an awesome voice, you should sing more. I watched the video you did as well. I'll have to give John's music some more airtime around here, he seems to be a great singer songwriter. Well done, it sounds great!

@RichieWinn I used a Tanglewood Heritage TW 55 HB through a Titan SE Mic. I Used Ableton Live 9 to record it dry. Then sent it to Kenny to sing over. Thanks for asking.

Don't know this artist either but I'm under the spell of this song, Kenny . That's a gorgeous tribute, so full of emotion and purity . Moved me a lot . I love 12string's guitar and your voice is wonderful . Last track of the day for me and I'm very lucky it's this one .
Thanks a lot for this blissful moment,
Bises to you both :)

Hey Carole, coming from such an amazing singer as yourself, that is a real compliment, thank you. I hope this will encourage others to check out John Martyn's work. From the both of us, we thank you for your kindness.

I stand and applaud you! It's so refreshing to hear a voice and an instrument so nicely put together and "naked". What mic? reverb? guitar? did you use please?

Hi Richie

Thanx for your kindness bro. We wanted to make it as simple as possible to showcase this great song. I used a Samson C01U condenser mic. I'm not sure which one of his 12 guitars Rob used, but I'm sure he'll post it here for you.

Thanx again

Kenny

Hey Kenny!

Though I don't know this song and this artist, your interpretation is awesome...your voice got some "salt and pepper", I mean it's so unique...

Beautiful!!!

Thanx for letting me know this man!

Description : Inspired by the Akon track from 2007, from the iconic album 'KONVICTED', when Akon used to be the number 1 artist in the world, I was a 11 year old, who had fallen in love with the song 'I Wanna Love You'. It was my favourite song back then and still is. I tried to create something similar. I made the beat myself then covered it with AI in my own voice. This is smooth RnB. Very romantic too. Hope you enjoy it!
