now i get it that having the As replace M and C on things adds a complexity to all of this. but that's a different subject.

as a point of reference, listen to the alt tracks on the Touch me In the morning EE. Deke tried doing We Need You and Leave A Little Room both with and without backing vocals. the versions with the vocals are really the right approach, showing that even for a solo artist, the importance of additional vocals
