The idea originally started by recording my 3 year old niece. That’s where the “mummy, daddy and ah-ahhh” comes from. Obtaining these recordings were pretty hard as a 3 year old vocalist isn’t ideal and she refuses to do it again for me. I suppose she still hasn’t got paid for her last session 🤣🤣🤣 but I’m just gonna roll with the recordings I have even if there is some background noise as I’ve uploaded a video to TikTok insta and YouTube etc. and it done pretty well on tik tok. I’ve got other tracks I wanna start rolling out but I’d like to get this one up first. And to be honest I’m sort of sick working on it and just want it out of my sight before it’s dead to me lol I’d just like to know if yous think it would be worthy of releasing the full track.
Below is a link to the TikTok if anybody is interested in the process:

welll if you don't want to work on it anymore, then i probably shouldn't give you any feedback haha 😛
Builds can be a bit more hype and tension and release. Maybe some white noise / risers, and snare roll louder. Reference some tunes and copy what they do.
The "Tight Dress" sample is one of the most overused samples over the last 6 months. I've heard it on a few dozen new releases from the last 60 days, would definitely use a different samples.
Groove is slightly off, would play around with the bass to get the groove a bit bouncier, by shifting some of the hits left or right by 10-20 ms
Drums, would develop them a bit more with some fills, snare hits, extra claps, rides, maybe some bongo hits, etc...
The background atmospheric sounds need way more sidechain to help the song bounce a bit more and enhance the groove.
In terms of levels, lots of sounds are really quiet. not sure if thats because they're actually quiet, or the mix just needs to be pushed a bit harder through a limiter on the master.
the synths get a little repetitive, might try some automation on them
U ask for feedback whether its "good enough" to upload. That fully depends on how you feel about it, and what goals you are trying to achieve with your music....

Appreciate you taking the time to listen and give some quality feedback man. I think it’s more of the fact that I’ve been listening to it over and over without anybody’s input so to be honest I think feedback might be the motivation I need and possibly get a second wind for it thanks buddy your a legend. Il take all into consideration thanks a lot man

Il look into some more vocals I was hooding for getting a vocalist I but it’s a bit hard and I was gonna just roll with them ones but think il change them for sure
