Try another version of the verse that locks to kick and snare.
Fully lock in chorus and bridge.
Go back to new chorus locking part after final chorus breakdown.
Lower final chorus breakdown dynamics and only play the double A on the first one and let it ring.
Alcan Closer Drafts
Intro 👍
Verse: more consistency in alternating parts, use of fills at changes/more excitement to fills.
Chorus: more motion, maybe walk all beats after each new root.
Bridge:A chords at breakdown have wrong root. More motion in second half heading to chorus.
Overall: dynamics. Quiet (piano) in intro and early bridge, medium in verse (mezzo forte), loud in chorus (forte), crescendo on Bdim in intro and bridge (gradually get louder).
Alcan Highway
Intro legato, slides, bdim walk.
