Spiritbox - Blessed Be Cover | Christina Rotondo & Jun Mitsui

[@christinartnd]

Hey guys! Thanks for nagging at me to discover SPIRITBOX for the longest time. Huge thank you to Jun for asking me to do this with me and hitting out this insane production. Make sure to sub to his channel! Wait for the bridge for our take on it!

[@LIGHTFALL9]

i sent it to my biggest Spirtibox fanatic and shared everywhere - tbh I wish you would be on twitch - love your work since I first found you performing with faultlines

[@christinartnd]

I actually have a twitch channel! Buuuut I don’t use it haha. It’s christinartndofficial

[@StarlordStavanger]

I had recommended Spiritbox before because they're honestly one of the best bands right now and they have an amazing female vocalist Courtney LaPlante. Glad you finally checked them out!

[@brandonsymms7095]

Amazing. Beyond the word amazing. Absolute chills.

[@brontantwoord7266]

Circe by Ghost.

[@fede.chachagua]

I was so anxious to hear what you would do for the breakdown since Courtney does this suuuuuper low screams haha. Great job!

[@christinartnd]

hahaha for a while I was overthinking it way too much!

[@nopdswat]

its like the angels are singing. you should totally do a duet with Courtney from Spiritbox

[@t.j.meechan682]

Absolutely amazing! Couldn't click like fast enough. Made my day.

[@christinartnd]

Thank you so much! I absolutely loved doing this one !

[@severedshadow4383]

See.. You never ruin anything. All the effort and hard work you put in never goes unnoticed in my eyes.

[@christinartnd]

Thank you so much! Hope you liked the singing in the bridge and the change ups! (If you haven’t heard the original band you must!)

[@severedshadow4383]

[@BurdenOfAMusician]

Killed the vocals as usual! Only a small bit of constructive criticism, and even it isn't a big thing either: the instrumental mix just sounds a bit muddier than usual. Not sure why though. Am I off base with that assessment? It might just be me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@christinartnd]

Thank you sir ! I hadn’t worked with Jun before so I know our mixing together was a little off base as it was our first time working together so different techniques from people I’ve worked with on my chabnel before - so May have founded different for sure!

[@mrdub7777]

Sounds good but would have sounded amazing with just some minor vocal tuning.

[@christinartnd]

The vocals are tuned wtf lmao

[@mrdub7777]

@@christinartnd I believe it, imo it could have just been a little more aggressive because personally I like that sound. There is numerous spots in the song like for example at 1:44 on the "ward" part of the word coward that just sounds like it could have been tuned a little more. Possibly the main vocal is tight but the dubs are not and thats what I'm hearing.

[@christinartnd]

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback, I think maybe I just prefer the not overly tuned sound :)

[@TheKartoffel101]

Perfection in art comes from imperfection. The problem with today's music is that everything is pitched and tuned on the point which leads to a lack of "humanism" in the music.

[@metallicaHTL]

Only critique is that I wish you had Lauren Babic or someone join you to do the screaming part. The rest of it was perfect

[@christinartnd]

Hey! I actually decided not to have someone do the screaming part, because it’s a) a small part and didn’t think it was necessary and b) wanted it to be a little different along with the changes I made in the verses and chorus. Sorry it didn’t hit the mark for you

[@Pit_Lord]

The vocals were good, but that guitar was an abomination. It’s not only incorrect, the tone sounds alot like my @sshole did that time and I got massively drunk and decided to eat those week old Taco Bell bean burritos we forgot to refrigerate.

[@Metalwhore89]

That guitar tone needs more balls. It sounds too thin and clean. Playing and vocals are on point though.

[@christinartnd]

Thanks for the feedback :)

[@mikestash9362]

You sing very well and have a great voice. But my only complaint is it felt like all emotions were ripped from the song. Robotic almost, and I'm not talking about you not doing the screaming part. All the way through felt bland and lifeless. I don't know, I'm not ripping on you personally, I just think the song didn't suit you. But you do have a beautiful voice so please don't think I'm saying you can't sing because obviously, wow, you can! Looking forward to seeing what else you can do!

[@xSilentshotx]

Ain't a cover if you can't scream

[@christinartnd]

I mean. Ignorant comment but ok!

[@TheKartoffel101]

It ain't a cover if you do it all the same as the original. Cover means to interpret a song from someone else in the way you would do it. If a cover would be just like the original there wouldn't be a reason to do a cover besides bragging that you sound exactly like someone else. Which you most likely don't want in the first place as an artist. ;)

[@jonathanhinse7624]

nice try

[@christinartnd]

Lmao shut up

[@tylerbaker765]

How are you going to cover a song with a chick that has an amazing voice and can growl with the best of them and skip that? The fact that you didn’t even attempt disappoints everyone.. sad day.

[@christinartnd]

The fact that you’ve got a really bad attitude for people who are just doing something they enjoy for the pure love of it disappoints me. Speaks volumes man.

[@chrisjeter9410]

What the hell, you completely changed the breakdown! While you're at it, you might as well play the guitar riff through a clean channel. Or the drummer should just close his hihats and use single pedal. Meaning if you can't do what the song calls for, maybe don't try and cover it?

[@christinartnd]

Meanwhile, if you can’t understand that covering a song is to take artistic licence and not directly copy a song black and white, maybe don’t listen to them?

[@chrisjeter9410]

@@christinartnd quit trying to cloud the fact that you don't know how to scream. Instead of actually sitting down and taking the time to learn, you copped out. And now you're trying to justify it by telling me what a cover is? 😂😂
