Just released my debut afrobeats album — would love honest production/mixing critique from fellow producers
Hey fellow music makers,
Just dropped my first full-length project — Aida, BÀBÁ MI. 12-track afrobeats album with naija production aesthetic: talking drums, log drums, kalimba, live brass vibes, layered female harmonies.
I'm here for the technical critique you can't get on regular music subs:
- Mix issues you notice
- Frequency clashes
- Vocal layering observations
- Tracks where the arrangement feels too crowded or too sparse
- Production choices that work / don't work
Streaming links:
Spotify:Spotity
Apple Music:Apple Music
Specific tracks to maybe focus on:
- Track 5 "Pepper" — club banger, curious about the beat switch landing
- Track 7 "Indigo" — cinematic with children's chorus, big production
- Track 8 "Palm Wine" — Sade-influenced slow burn, sax + rhodes
Rip it apart, I can take it. Happy to return the favor on your projects
