Thanks for the kind reviews guys. No, I never use vocal harmonizers. I sing 5 octaves and have no need for that. However, I did use a guitar phaser effect on the vocals rather than my normal waves or izotope reverbs. I like to experiment with things that are not supposed to be used on other things. Sort of a producers approach to alternative effects. A bit risky but I often discover new ways of doing things through experimentation. Trying to make each song on the CD have its own sound but be familiar with the R&B hits of today. Thanks for your insights and suggestions. I will take another look at the vocals when I do another pass on the song before actually getting it mastered. The good news is that the label liked it just the way it is and has approved it for the CD. Much respect and thanks for listening and giving me your insights.

By the way, if you listen to the latest music from Chris Brown, Neyo, Trey Songs, Tyreese, Raheem and several other top tier R&B artists you will see that they are all using strange effects on the vocals. It has become an R&B standard. Some of them have effects that are much more prominent than mine. I like the fact that the young ones are forging their own paths and sonic identities. I love kicking boring old rules out and making new sound scape ideas.

I love experimenting with effects on vocals and have used guitar effects on vocals before with good results. In this case somehow the effect made your vocal sound digitized and un-natural in a mechanical sense it really sounded like what sometimes autotune does or iztope nectar has a harmonizer that makes fake harmonies with this same properties. I believe you when you say its a guitar effect.
Congrats on the label approval its a solid tune.
Best,
TSC,
Ken
