reverb holiday
The intro with virtual instruments same chords would take this to the next level. More presence or closer to the mic on the verses without as much reverb. The lyrics are amazing and the singing great delivery, if you wrote this this is amazing. I would love to come record song over to make it itunes ready, we run a mobile set up and can come to you. Either way keep writing and recording great job. I like the piano solo as well.

This is a good one......
Today, music can miss the mark when one doesn't focus on all the inputs necessary to produce a quality song. The music, arrangement, lyrics, vocal delivery, and content are critical in producing a sound that moves the listener. Ken Hall & Freedom Fighterz has achieved this goal. I recommend that anyone interested in quality, positive music that moves your soul listen to this release.

e' natale
e' natale con sentimento e delicatamente basta solo una tastiera e una buona voce per dirlo a tutti e credere veramente e tutto ti ispira con lo sguardo verso il cielo porterà' la bella melodia lassu'in alto

A few comments and suggestions
The electric piano intro is pretty good, but does need a little reverb. The lyrics are pretty good. The vocal effect certainly needs some tweaking. The overall mix needs some work in order for it to have that finished, professional quality to it. However, considering this I can still hear the intention and some of the groove. I think with a little more automation, especially in the volume section, your mixes can improve. At times, the vocal seems to fade into the background instead of taking center stage. Some glitches can be heard here and there. There is some potential, but more attention needs to be paid to details: pan, volume, effects, eq, compressor, master buss. I would suggest for you to reference good, professional songs that are along the same lines as the genre you are producing. Overall pretty good. Hope this helps. Sincerely and Respectfully, José René

Uh.....
The sounds used in this track seem cheap and painful to listen to. It’s a shame since there is evidently some strong emotions that are trying to being conveyed. And the ending is so abrupt that it’s jarring. The singer has a nice voice, and conveyed emotion through the lyric. But the production undercut anything the artist was trying to convey. And also, where’s the hope? Particularly with Christmas songs there has to be a call to hope and love and redemption. There was none of that here. It was just a dirge. Also, use a real piano, and not that crappy digital piano. It was painful to listen to. And not emotionally painful, just painful musically.

Christmas song
Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I feel your heart as your sing the words. A few suggestions The music needs to more balanced with your vocals Your voice has an echo throughout the song and feels like you are in a tunnel. Suggestions Some soft bgvs thru the song to give a even more Christmas feel. Maybe add a soft violin as well would tie it altogether.

Heartfelt
What a smooth, warm Christmas sentiment. It made me feel like calling up a dear friend and sharing a cheerful word or two with them. Great words and needed around the holiday. Easy listening tune.

IT'S CHRISTMAS
Nice song. I think the lead vocal is really good. So you don't need all of that reverb. It kinda too too long to get the chorus for me. That's why I thought It's Christmas was the tittle. Good lyrical message. Good solo after the chorus. It worked without drums but I think I kept waiting for them. Good Job!

It's Christmas by Ken Hall and Freedom Fighterz
I love your song. Christmas is a great time of year and it is the time for our Lord just as each and every day of the year. Christmas is also the time for family and when family isn't there we miss them. God has given you a talent so keep up praising Him through the musical talent He has given you. I hope to hear more of your music in the future. May God continue to bless you and through your music bless others. Keep up the good work. God Bless..Angel Eve

In MY Opinion
Greetings, Thank you for choosing me to review your work, I count it an honor to be included in such a task. My hat is off to you and anyone willing to step out and share their gift, talent and love of music to the public. Be it a musician, singer, song writer, actor and so-on. I myself, via 40 some years of experience in the fields, on the road, in the studio, radio, TV, video, and management, consider myself to be a seasoned musician, singer, song writer, studio-sound tech/engineer/ owner/operator, stage manager, find it sometimes hard/difficult and perhaps not even fair to sit in a seat, voicing My Opinion concerning another's creative efforts. Especially in certain genres of music I am not all that familiar with concerning very important elements that make up and meet the required standards to justify the various levels of ratings and grades. So, in saying ALL that, I will limit myself to MY Opinion concerning the quality of the work according to My ears, and the standards I have been familiarized with thru-out the years. I hold to the old - saying " Beauty Is In The EAR of The Beholder ... LOL. The sound quality of the recording over-all is very crisp and bright and clear, Consider backing off the processing on your vocals a little , not singing in a tunnel, more natural sound, but, not dry and flat either. I really enjoyed the message in this song.Think about a music solo break to step away from vocals for a short period in future works. Vocals are smooth and natural, sort of - down to earth as they say, and extremely peaceful. The mix levels let me know who was still in charge of this song. Very easy to sit back and listen to. I mean no offense in any part, I myself take all feedback and use it as a tool toward my next project. I pray you feel the same way. Either way, I say to you, keep doing what you do, keep kicking and enjoying what you do. I tell folks all the time for many years. When it stops being FUN, then it's time to stop, and stand back and think about what we are doing, why we are doing it, how we are doing it, what we and others are getting out it. Is it what we want, and how we want it. IF NOT. what are willing to do from there? Thank you again for asking MY OPINION. Johnny

Cry For You on Christmas Review
Good morning Ken. I love your voice brother, with just a hint of a searching reverb, and you have done well with al of the instruments that you have included in this song. I get the feeling in your heart, but for what it's worth, I somehow have a sense that this song would be received with more vigour with 70 bpm speed. If I hear correctly, I think you may have done this around the 60 bpm range. Even a lot of the Jewish sad songs were written at an up-tempo speed, but the message still got through with a sense of optimism. I like the melody that you have crafted for this song, but somehow something in me is hoping that it would be a bit faster. ;) Glad you wrote this song, and posted it. Somebody needed to hear it today. Many more blessings on you and yours through-out 2020 brother. :) Trev <):)

Cry For You On Christmas-Review
A Somber Heartfelt song that is evident it comes from the heart. The lyrics are so moving and the music is touching and contemplative. So many sould are alone this time of year and need a song such as this to lift them up. Thank you for such a beautiful gift to share, your vocals are lovely. God bless you and I look forward to hearing more of your work. Happy Holidays.

Interesting
Slowing down the bpm would have locked the record in...some parts in the record was rushed to match the instrumental this can be something that the heathens who celebrate the pagen holdiay would love this i do believe the wrong filter for your voice was used. still a complete record non the least

my thoughts
First off, thanks for sharing and putting yourself out there.Sharing our babies( songs) is not always easy. Especially when we are singing about something so close to our hearts. I would of really liked to of heard your voice a little more in the mix. It sounded really far away. A little to much reverb as well for my taste. But hey, its not my tune. The keys sound really good, strings added a nice touch as well. God BLESS and keep on keepin on. All the best in your future endeavors.
