Seeking for vocalist (male/ female) to record main vocals for an original song of mine.

Both male or female voice welcome.
Main vocals needed, no double tracking/ additional harmonies/ ad-libs etc.

This is kind of a pop-rock-soul-ballad with an emotional-sad, but groovy vibe. The key of the song is D major.
The time signature is a bit tricky, it is in 5/8, 170 bpm. (Me as the drummer feel it as 2+3).
I have an instrumental backing track, a live recording from band rehearsal (very bad) and the instrumental track with a rou ... gh melody guideline.
I also have lyrics. (lol, why can't i upload pdf-files?)

I need someone who can make the verses (and pre-chorus) flow smoothly.
The band rehearsal file and the backing track with vocal melody should only give a rough guideline on the melody, but not so much on the rhythm!! (Band rehersal actually is 1 semitone lower that the final song).
I will need your expertise and experience as a vocalist to make the verses (and prechorus) sound smooth. My band vocalist sang quite free in time on those parts. I think this is the right direction for you to go. I give you creative freedom on that part.
The chorus however should stick to vocal reference rhythm, which is more strictly on the grid and straightforward, not that free in time.
The pre-chorus (two of them) did not exist at the time of recording band rehearsal. So I would need you to come up with a fitting melody line for those parts (its just two lines of lyrics.)

On total, about 2 mins of main vocals.
Only the vocal parts needed that are on the lyrics-pdf. So no second chorus needed. I will copy chorus and paste it to second appearance. this is maily because I am a little strict on budget.However if you want to record second chorus as well (it is the same as first), feel free to go. Then I will have little diversity, which will be great. Appreciated, but not needed.

As for delivery:
wave-files, 24bit, 44.1 kHz
raw files preferred (if you want to autotune yourself, you can if needed/wanted).

Thx for reading.
Looking forward for your application.
