No More feat. Liel Bar-Z - Ryan Tedder Studio.com Course Project One - Who Do we sound like?

"No More" was the first song I created when I took the Ryan Tedder Music Production/ Songwriting course.

It started with the guitar riff you hear in the intro and chorus (basically creating a vibe to adlib vocals too)

I was following the course and Ryan's methods, so I had no idea what was next.

The guitar riff seemed busy, and not much room for vocal melodies. The first thing that popped out of my head was no more, so that was the chorus repeated four times( a very short hook).

Then I had to make the verses and arrange the song, so I took that guitar riff out, played the chords, and adlibbed some mumbling lyrics/ melody.

There is more to the process, but this post is getting long. LOL

After the class, it took me some time to finish the lyrics, get a vocalist, and then mix the vocals tracks.

I also have a few other versions of the song with different breakdown sections and some with a completely different music track.

Any feedback is welcome.
Is there any artist this reminds you of?
Thanks,
Greg
