This was a really unique song. It started
out with the exotic world instruments and beat,
and then the female pop singer comes in. It's an
interesting mix but it worked really well.
Instrumentally there is alot going on and
everything sounds great. The vocals were really
flawless and I enjoyed listening to a great
female voice. This sounds like something that
could easily be played on any mainstream pop
music station.
Wow! This song is a brilliant mixture of
catchy pop elements with interesting
instrumental variations on a theme and a
positive theme that I wouldn't mind hearing my
pre-treen repeat over and over and over as kids
are wont to do. Very interesting and enjoyable
musically and lyrically and I'd like to know
what else these folks have tried their hands at.
The has some nice evenly paced sound init. A
definitive ethnic soulful vocal that drops in
with emotional content to capture your interest.
There also sounds like a sort of reggae tone
that I thoroughly enjoyed too. This has a
mainstream shine and soundtrack potential
also. Everything sounds well polished and fun on
the run kind of approach. Enjoyed it!

arrangement that kinda takes me by surprise.
This sounds like a very tight group with some
very professional sounding vocals & musicians.
Unique and original arrangement comes together
better than expected after the first few
seconds. Great mixing job keeping levels where
they should be. Well produced and arranged.
Your sound should take you places.
Nice feel at the intro, love the Middle Eastern
feel. Nice choice of instrumentation. From the
introduction, I did not anticipate this to slide
into an American style pop song. Very sly and a
hard trick, honesly. I like this, the vocals are
very tight and the harmonies are excellent. I
appreciate the lyrical content... we need more
of this. The intro captures my attention off the
bat and the transformation from Middle Eastern
traditional tune to pop tune is pretty much
seemless. Excellent musical bridges make this
song. It gets us from intro to verse to chorus,
and that wonderful musical vamp in the middle.
My congratulations to the musicians here, you
have come up with a very catchy and musically
relevant pop tune, not always an easy job!
The vocal quality reminds me of the Corrs
for some reason. The percussion and drums are
excellent. In closing, let me say that you
have surprised me completely. I was
pleasantly thrown off during this entire piece
of music with unexpected arrangments and changes
that kept my mind and ear interested. The
recording sounds very well balanced and a truly
excellent dynamic mix of many, many elements. To
quote Stan Lee Excelsior!
Good message. pakistan and india..word up!!!!
great production...odd with the pop vocal..but i
like anyways...kind irresistible with the
message...and a top-notch production..very
pro. lots of sounds going on. a little rhythm
sample in every little corner and space of the mix.

This song is an excellent example of how to
merge different ethnic musics into a rhythmic
modern pop sound. The enchanting eastern
scales lead into a strong western song - and
it is a song with a message. The words are
excellent and the vocals are great. Very nicely
arranged also. A winner.
this is the best song I have heard on
Garageband to Date. The production is world
class. I can't remember the last time I heard a
mix like this, in headphones it sounds 3
dimensional. Every instrument is pristine and
perfectly positioned in the mix. Arrangement is
so different and unique, especially in the intro
I enjoy the choice of instruments and the mix
of hip hop its very well pulled together
tight. I like the vocals she has a wonderful
voice fit for the part. Until i heard this i
have to say i thought all world fusion sounded
the same, but this isn't like the rest its
definitly more thought out and structured. The
vocal scale is great Fridgian built not commonly
used now a days. In general very decent.
True fusion with a great vocal, teen R&B ala
Spice Girls doing a world history in song and
verse. Love the bridge! Really good breakdown.
The vocals rock, the lady has pipes. Great
harmony stacks. This whole track blew me away
and I played it twice, adding to my Playlist. Thanks.

I really like the music. The lyrics are almost
to where you could say something really deep,
but the chorus keeps it in the pop realm. A good
formula, but maybe because I work with political
human rights groups, I want you to really talk
about all the shizzle going on... of course,
it's tough to do that in a pop song. Plenty of
interesting music changes. well put together.
sf_funkster from San Francisco, California on 8Jun2005
This song has amazing instrumentation,
eastern sounds, and initially sounds like a
traditional indian song! The vocalist is
amazing! Her notes and harmonies are class. The
vocal melody of this song makes is very pleasant
to listen to. The drums are really great, i love
the little hi-hat fills that appear all over the
place. The production is cracking, sounds very
slick and radio-friendly.

Ooooh love how you kick this in,. Original
sounds and groove going on here,. This is cool
,...
Wow im impressed with this,. Love your rhythm
and what you did with this,. Vocals are bad to
the bone,. She has a cool voice and this is
not a standard peice that sounds like everything
else on the radio,. You guys rock very good job,.
WiredPirate from College Parkway, Florida on 1Jun2005
Production knocks me out. Great use of authentic
percussion sounds. Vocals very strong and
topical lyrics. Track full of energy and
should be released on a major label. Keep
doing exactly what you're doing. Great job.
Excellent complex rhythmic accompaniment.
Very professional sounding vocals, very
energetic composition. Excellent musical flow!
Outstanding combination of instruments.
Middle eastern feel right from the start. Odd
changes with a funky mid-70's bouncy bass organ.
Now the main groove sets in. Vocalist is
outstanding. Shades of early Madonna and
(strangely) Wilson Phillips, (but with much more
of an authentic feel). She is right on pitch all
the way through. Great backing vocals too. the
whole song has a great energy, and I can
definitely see it being a big hit.
It takes a lot of precission to accomplish this
type of music. Whats interesting here are the
vocals. I thought I was listening to pop radio
in the states! Different. Nice arrangement, very
very good vocals. Nobody signed these guys up
yet? Why not??
A true gem is Liquid Blue's "Making Up". Very few
songs can include so many history facts and
still be cool. From the tension between North
and South Korea to Israel and Palestine, Liquid
Blue uses these conflicts to encourage people to
do all they can to help bring peace to areas
that are divided and war-torn. "Making Up" is
simply outstanding.
