Nice multimash with typical 80s sound here!
All sounds very good combined. From a harmonic point of view I'm not sure if "Casanova" is a 100% in key but it doesn't bother me that much.
Good job mate!

Thanks for the support, Dumpz.

Dude, I love that you got “Casanova” to mash! Such an iconic 80’s jam at least for me personally! And to me there is nothing wrong harmonically with it here.

However, that instrumental Pre-Chorus is sneaky and temporarily moves (I believe) up a fifth for a few bars. So unfortunately Taylor clashes until the last few words when in modulates back to (I think it’s E♭, right?) There’s got to be another track out there that’d work, though...

The Crowded House is awesome! (How did I not know that ‘pella existed?!) I’m not sure you nailed the timing on the words “between us”, though--they seem to drag behind a bit in both occurrences. I also think that ‘pella could use some width, but there’s a chance the baked-in reverb might make that awkward...

The Free Fallin’ is also a great way to handle that key change! The background vocals don’t even clash! That’s actually a tough feat to pull off!

Really great bunch of essential 80’s nostalgia for me. I’m on board with most of it as it is now--just needs a bit of tweaking.

Thanks for the helpful critique, MashGyver. I've taken into consideration all of your suggestions and have thusly removed Taylor Swift altogether, replacing her with the original Kim Wilde vocals in those two spots.

The Crowded House acapella is pretty bad. Mono too, so I had to create two channels and pan one left and the other right. I took the pans to 92% to move them out of the crowded 100% areas and I tinkered with the reverb a bit as well. I also touched up the timing of "between us."

Hopefully version 2 is good to go! It's up.

Version 2 is still up.
