Music: “Enough” is a male vocal rock song. The music was written by Serge LaPorte and Louis Gagne, Jeff Dingwell wrote the lyrics. Serge arranged, programmed and played all of the instruments with the exception of the drums. He also did the tracking, mixing and mastering. The lead vocal and drums were courtesy of Louis.
We love the tones, the use of panning, and how about those handclaps?! Individual sound sources weave in and out effortlessly, and the track never loses its focus or drive despite the advanced arrangement. “Enough” gets an A-Plus: go to the head of the class, gents!
Summary: We’ll be singing this one for days!
