In the final mixing stages of my new song "Army of One". My aspirational style I'm aiming for is the spot midway between Depeche Mode and Gunship and I think this track does a pretty good job. I'm absolutely in love with the ending on this track, so I hope anyone who listens enjoys that too.

Anyway here it is, still private until I've done the final master:

Software: Reason 12 + Objekt, Vintage Vault 4, V-Collection 9 + Pigments, Vintage Verb + Supermassive
Hardware: M1 Mac mini + dual monitors, Launchkey 61, Scarlett 18i20, Rokit 6 monitors, AT4040 mic, DT-990 Pro phones

Man, I actually like this one even more than the Dead Inside track you posted a bit ago. I do like the ending but it's not better than the rest of the song. The WHOLE song is good is the gist of what I'm trying to say. From the sound selection to the mix down, everything sounds professional and high quality. Really nice work.

Dives right into a beautiful sound and the vocals fits very well.
Keeps sounding great throughout the song, and the finale is a worthy ending
Really great job with this song!

Coming from Sweden I'd almost say it does sound swedish, this use of warm and melancholy harmonies just like Abba and numerous composers here. Synth pop perfection. It's a bit Pet Shop Boysy as well, and they are my house gods.

Thanks Frank, glad you liked it! I’m still not convinced by my vocal, but I’m pleased by the track as a whole.

Thanks Jappe! Yeah I was really happy with the arrangement (originally I went back to the chorus after the big drop and it was horrible :D )

Btw, the link in the OP is pointing at the published master, waiting for Apple Music, et al. to pick it up.
