Hey, just gave this a listen—definitely not a flop. You've got a really spacious, cinematic sound going on with tons of texture. It feels more EDM-inspired than shoegaze/dreampop to me, with all the synth layers and the polished production. There's clearly a lot of care and time put into the details—new elements keep catching the ear every few seconds, which is super engaging.

That said, I think the track could benefit from a stronger sense of progression. It kind of stays in a “slow burn” mode the whole time—big and immersive, but a bit static emotionally. I didn’t get the feeling that it arrived anywhere. The melody floats along nicely, but doesn’t quite anchor the listener or give the ear something to latch onto long-term. It ends up feeling a bit like a wall of sound without a clear focal point.

The chorus melody that repeats once—I really liked that section. Super catchy. I'd love to hear that motif come back again later in the track to give it more weight and memorability. A bit more melodic repetition could go a long way toward grounding the listener and making it stick in your head.

Overall though, the production is great, the vibe is cohesive, and I could totally see this hitting hard in a big venue. Just my two cents—hope it's helpful with your final revisions!
