Review of Let Me Know, acoustic

Overall Impression: 10/10

By the Creator's request, I am gonna keep this review as simple as possible for a Zaril. :) Well, my normal thought before becoming a reviewer was. "Giving out a 10/10 is something you should do when it is sooooo perfect, and I will prolly never think any song is soooooo perfect." I give this piece a 10/10 cause I would buy a CD of Dale's work if I heard this in a music store. It's something for all to hear, A song to the righteous, and a song for all jazz-loving soul-people out there, I am putting this on my Top 15! 

Creativity: 9/10

I can't explain it, something is missing, but what? Argh! Excuse me for not getting it into words, though the creativity is the whole feeling you get. It has a thought out beat that changes somewhat, maybe not physically, but in mood. It has catchy, it has swing, it has variation and it has nice lyrics, that scores hi ratings on my list. 

Artistic License: 10/10

The singing is fully experimented with and great! The piano is very jazzy and has both rhythm and class. I asked myself, "why no solo" at first, then I stepped away from the thought. This work has it's solo, the great voice and rhythmic piano!

Arrangement: 10/10 

It's all professional to keep it simple. It's arranged with be-jazzy-boppa-rhythm and catches the true element of some soul as well as jazz and a pop feeling. 

Sample Quality: 10/10 

Wonderful singing and the piano and bass sound great and I guess it's either real instruments or
VERY high quality samples!

Does It Work as a Piece of Music: Yes

This should belong on a Dale Waterman CD! Simply, great and professional.
