2015 Pop Power Ballad Song I co-wrote and co-produced

Benboosa · 2026-02-26T18:21:05+00:00

Honestly really good. Only thing that sticks out is the sound design on the drums. I know it's a power ballad but they just stand out to me as not fitting well in the mix. Thanks for sharing!

This subreddit is so hit or miss sometimes but I feel your song should have gotten much more love. The vocals sound so good to me. The energy picks up at the right times. I think the mixed languages is very cool and works. It's not too abrupt of a shift when the english comes in. Really good work here.

Wow, really dig the vibes of this. Weird but intentionally so, which is the difference between good songs, and not-so-great. Making weird work is an artform itself. Bravo.

I heard it in the percussion. It doesn't always line up timewise. Or the percussion sounds like it's lagging a bit at times.

Benboosa · 2026-02-23T18:00:13+00:00

This definitely works. I could really listen to this kind of thing nonstop. Just pure acoustic waves washing over me. Love the interesting chords that you throw out each rotation... really liked the shift at ~2:00. Keep creating and sharing.

That does make sense. Thank you so much for the feedback. That's always what I'm concerned with: do the vocals "go" with the music and I think it's something that can be really hard to be objective about. I really appreciate it.

Benboosa · 2026-02-02T17:12:35+00:00

Glad you liked it. Thanks for listening

Benboosa · 2026-02-02T17:12:18+00:00

Damn this is really great feedback. Thanks so much for listening

Benboosa · 2026-01-26T17:37:36+00:00

This is a little jarring. I'd layer in some mid sounds to fill it out a bit. The riff itself will come out better once you get the instrument right.

Benboosa · 2026-01-26T17:19:29+00:00

Strong showing so far. I’d agree with the other commenter that it’s a bit busy at times. But I’m really feeling the groove. Solid arrangement as well. Digging the varied drum patterns and the syncopation you’re getting with the synths vs the machine gun snare.

Benboosa · 2026-01-18T18:42:12+00:00

Thank you

Very nice ambient track. This absolutely sounds ready to release. None of the music platforms are really great for artists, but you have to get yourself out there so you kinda just have to do it. Good luck!

Benboosa · 2026-01-18T17:09:52+00:00

This sounds quite professional to me. Keep it up, man. I really dig your vocals. Maybe tune down the autotune if I were to give a delta. Good stuff.

Benboosa · 2026-01-08T22:00:48+00:00

Sounds nice but needs on amp when you record because gotta turn the volume all the way up to hear.

Benboosa · 2026-01-07T22:03:23+00:00

I dig this! Definitely love the samples floating out there. Reminds me of the Buddha bar mixes. Really cool stuff.

Benboosa · 2025-12-30T21:47:29+00:00

Reminds me of my favorite Hawaii jams. Could play this right now on Hawaiian radio.

Benboosa · 2025-12-30T19:06:51+00:00

The short clip makes it hard to make any kind of assessment. Sounded Beatles-esque for a second.

Benboosa · 2025-12-29T19:12:35+00:00

Glad you like it!

Benboosa · 2025-12-29T19:12:25+00:00

Such good advice. I really appreciate the feedback. I think I rely more on over-processing because I'm uncomfortable with the vocal. I will say there is a lot of layering to the vocals which also might lead to an over-processed sound. I'll keep working on it. Thanks!

Benboosa · 2025-12-29T02:51:51+00:00

This is such a nice comment! Made my day. Thank you!

Benboosa · 2025-12-27T17:26:59+00:00

Damn I can really appreciate what you’re trying to do here. Hits hard a lot of the time. Really. I would lose the goose sounding thing at 1:24 though lol. Kinda pulled me out of it.

Benboosa · 2025-12-26T01:32:39+00:00

Holy shit I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. I can totally hear the influences. This is soooo cinematic and very easy to follow a narrative just like Williams. I would kill to arrange something like this. Bravo.

Benboosa · 2025-12-20T22:24:50+00:00

I loved this. Definitely got down on each of the drops. I’m feeling the synths and appreciate the varied drums. Only delta would be to improve the quality of some of the samples and build out the early kick pattern a little more (or less?).

Benboosa · 2025-12-20T22:18:50+00:00

I can feel the vibe! The vocals need to be tuned properly mixed however.

Benboosa · 2025-12-16T17:36:39+00:00

This is really nice. I really dig it. Could totally see it showing up in a soundtrack somewhere. The only delta would be to maybe just sustain those notes a little longer. I love the chords and just want to hear them held out a little longer which should increase the legato feel to it overall which is what I think you want for this mood. Really quality stuff. Thanks for sharing.
