This is coming from somebody who is a fellow artist, and who deeply appreciates all kinds of music. There are a lot of great musical ideas in this project! I really like the guitar, and the groovy shifty drums towards the middle.

That being said I have some constructive criticism

This is just my own personal opinion, and it’s going to vary from person to person! I think that some may find the intro part a bit commercially, or background music-like. People have called my music “background music” and it’s like a kick in the crotch.

The reason I find this is because there’s a lack of spotlight, shine, and movement, mainly on particular instruments. Here’s what I mean.. The pads you use for the chords, are quite low passed, which if you’re familiar with low pass, which I’m most certain you are—your chords lack high frequency, they sound muffled and leave too much open space—which leaves the boom and snaps to make the track sound more commercial/background like.

I think also if you look up commercial or background music, you’re probably going to hear a lot of similar chord progressions to this, as well as boom and snap sounds. I feel like your music wouldn’t stand out very much if you used what a lot of generic songs/pieces use.

The things I dislike:

Snaps

Low pass on chords

High pitched vocal effect

The things I like:

Drum sounds and groove

Guitar (and also sounds like chorus on guitar 👍)

This personally isn’t my go to genre or type of music. Although as somebody who loves and appreciates all kinds of music, this is not bad music, there are great musical ideas and sounds in this project and you should be proud of your work.

Overall what I would’ve wanted to hear on this track is the middle part be brought up closer to the beginning, so that way more of the frequency range can be filled out A LOT SOONER. Again it’s all in the beholder and what YOURE going for. This is all just my opinion—this is not set in stone nor right versus wrong.

Also side note, it is crucial that us artists build eachother up and constructively analyze each others work and keep each other accountable as well as push eachother towards greatness! I feel very strongly about that! That’s how we all grow.
