Hi everybody, this is A.Iacovaccio from Italy, here to introduce to this forum my latest music production called :

"Never alone" by Jakko feat.MikB

The style of this production is what i call "Super Hi Energy" which is a blend of Eurobeat/Italodance/Bubblegum ....my favourite styles.....

Is it just me or is that the vocals really don't go with this song?

a little too aggressive..

[EurothunderNL]

Very 90's eurodance beat

What? I didn't find one thing agressive about it. I think many people mistake what agressive Eurobeat is? A perfect example would be somthing like Joe Foster- Look For YOur Love or for now adys, a good Hotblade song, but anyway, I like that song's melody. It has the traditional Eurobeat/Italo ffel to it. The lyrical content falls more inbetween the lines of Aishubeat, na dher vocals are not too bad. Wierd name for a femal vocalist. Jakko?
What I rerally didn't become too turned on about ,was the percussion beats. Not really my favourite style, but overall the song shows a lot of potential.

I say keep comming up with new material. Practice makes perfect.

If that's agressive, I wonder what "Burning Up The Night (Total Fire)" by 2 Fast (SEB 182) is...

thanks a lot for your feedback guys !!

being an indipendent producer every opinion is positive to grow and improve...of course this is the first for "Jakko" and i have many new songs in progress....
I understand my style is a little different from classic Eurobeat, but at same time they share very speed tempo and positive melody ....

My background is more EurodanceISH....i was involved with the productions of first "Jenny Rom" single "www.blondgirl" and other smaller projects for Toshiba/Emi dancemania.....and after many years of silence i am back with new material

Are you the same A.Iacovaccio that used to work for Saifam as DJ Jaxx and help produce the Jenny Rom first Jenny Rom track
::EDIT:: You ARE That Alessandro!!!!!!!!!! I always loved your tracks at Saifam.

Great to see some new names in the Eurobeat scene (even if they are perhaps "old names" in other fields! )

I find the song a little hard to get into, as I feel like there are missing background layers - especially during the verse. Try adding some arp strings or synth lines to fill in the empty space behind the vocals and beat. I also find that the lack of other synths really highlights just how prominent the bass sound is - that's probably the one thing that I would change immediately; something with a deeper tone would fit better in the overall scheme and make the composition less Eurodance.

The vocals are a little quirky (I can definitely hear some diva-style 90's Eurodance influence going on), and they could perhaps do with a little less reverb... one thing that generally doesn't go down well with the Eurobeat community is distorted (in terms of reverb or other warped effects) vocals, as can be seen in a lot of SinclaireStyle's female songs from recent years.

But if I can just echo what Javy said - you have produced some monster Eurodance anthems in the past that have played some important parts in my life, and I am sure that with further development your new Super Hi Energy will become even better. Anyway we can help you out, just let us know

Yes, definitely needs more layers. I like her voice, personally, and I think that it would match the song better if it was faster as well, although I'm a sucker for high bpms so maybe it's just me.
