Thank you for posting the link; I didn't have to wait until tomorrow. I've been waiting for years to hear something from him (aside from RSO), although I generally liked the song since he posted it on IG. Now that I have a full picture, I notice a trend towards saturation. Not only with Richie but also with Bon Jovi. Lately, producers seem to think that putting all the instruments at the same level is great, but in my opinion, it ends up being an exaggeration of compression. While the voice has chorus and other effects which, as mentioned, only give it a slightly less natural touch. Richie maintains his personal focus, without trying to prove anything (which is contradictory, as it's somewhat suspicious that everything happens, so to speak, in what we could call an ego competition, right?). It's always good to hear from someone who was one of the most important parts of the band we all admire and follow.
