Wons Phreely — The Time Song

LA-based Australian songwriter Wons Phreely has won international songwriting prizes, been featured on KCRW’s Today’s Top Tune, and won acclaim (and awards) for his uniquely creative music videos. He was close to finalizing a new track for release - The Time Song - but felt it needed a SongChecks pro to provide high-level input on the arrangement and the mix.

Eleven-time Grammy-winning producer and mix engineer F. Reid Shippen was enlisted to compile the feedback on this track. You can hear the version of the song Reid was sent (above) and read Reid’s notes for how he thinks Wons can improve the arrangement and the mix himself (below).

This is what Wons said about his experience using SongChecks:

“It was a great experience because the notes are so thorough and easily understood. And when you get that from an eleven-time Grammy-winner, it’s totally amazing. Even if you only implement some of their notes, you still have so much you can do to open up your song’s potential. It’s exactly what I needed, and I couldn't think of another way for that to happen.”
