God & a Blanket EP

September 1, 2025 - 12:41am — Alexander John

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share a small project I worked on recently with my dad handling the instrumentals. It's called "God & a Blanket" and it's a kind of love letter to the lord and my wife. A couple of years ago I did a similar project called "Twice Saved" and I guess you could call this a follow up and an extended gratitude. Below is a link to it.


Thanks and God Bless.

Words spoken well

Alex,

Congrats on a followup to Twice Saved. I listened to all five tracks. You have a great voice with an "accent" that is the envy of this Minnesotan. :-)

Your words are deep and poetic and your delivery is energetic but sometimes a little too frenetic. Hey, I just rhymed!

One other minor nit is the background sound level on First Offering – it's too loud against your voice. Remember what I told you about "ducking" your voice?

"Ducking" your voice refers to the audio engineering technique of automatically lowering the volume of a background audio source (like music or a sound effect) when a primary voice signal is present, and then raising it again when the voice stops. This ensures the voice is always clear and prominent, creating a better listening experience by reducing competition between audio elements. 

Give my best to your wife and your dad.
