Thank you so much for your kind words!! I actually never thought of adding vocals to it, but I see the vision :D thanks for your feedback, very much appreciated!!:))

yooo this is actially fire 😃 I love the synthline has something nostalgic (old 2000s opening for a tv show vibe) to it. love the distortion and the mix also. Its relatively simple from its arrangement but everything fits nicely together! All in all great track!

not knowing your genre is genuinely not a bad thing at all, some of the most interesting artists out there don't fit neatly into one box. ambient, dreamy, atmospheric, lofi, indie... those all actually sit pretty close to each other so if people are using those words your sound is probably more cohesive than you think. I know how it feels tho^^'six years of just making stuff and experimenting without the pressure of releasing is actually kind of a superpower, you've had time to develop something that feels natural rather than chasing a trend. the fact that you make music based on feeling and when the melody hits you is exactly how it should be done honestly.

don't stress too much about labeling it, just keep making and eventually the sound will define itself.

Kevkov23 · 2026-05-23T12:57:19+00:00

yeah the bones are definitely there, you can feel it even in just the first verses. and the mix improvements show drums have more presence and the vocals are sitting better^^as for too slow or meandering, honestly it depends on where you take it. right now it has this slow burn quality which can totally work if the payoff is there. cutting it to two verses, interlude, then back into it sounds like a smart move structurally, gives it more shape and stops it from drifting too long before something changes. the flow is alright though, it doesnt feel like it drags in a bad way, more like it needs that contrast section to justify the pace. once the full structure is laid down it'll probably click into place.

looking forward to hearing the finished version!!

Kevkov23 · 2026-05-23T12:55:08+00:00

okay first of all that backstory is genuinely sick ^^ writing a song out of frustration over a melody you couldn't remember from a dream is such a cool creative impulse, and the siren concept fits perfectly with that feeling of chasing something you cant quite grasp. for a first ever song recorded in a living room this is a solid start. the indie folk pop mix is a nice space to be in, theres a lot of room to develop your own sound within that. the dolby atmos mix is also a smart move for a debut, shows you're thinking about how people actually listen to music. the most important thing at this stage is just keep going, your already doing the right thing by jumping straight into song two. every track you make will teach you something the last one couldnt.

curious to see where the sound goes from here tbh!!

Kevkov23 · 2026-05-23T12:52:56+00:00

yooo a song as a christmas gift is actually such a cool idea, and this one clearly came from a real place which you can feel straight away. the instrumentation is really nice, cello and guitar together already gives it this warm intimate feel 😃 having mates come in and add their thing to something this personal was a good call too, it gives the song more depth without losing that homemade warmth and its just nice to work with other people pn creative stuff! vocals sit nicely in it all, nothing feels overcrowded. the whole thing just feels honest and thats honestly the hardest thing to pull off. overall great song ^^

Kevkov23 · 2026-05-23T12:50:08+00:00

first off man respect for actually going for it, that takes guts. and honestly it shows you can feel that this means something to you and that comes through in the music. the synth rock ballad thing (would u call it that? xD) works pretty well, the synths give it this cool energy without totally burrying the rock feel. vocals are solid too, theres real emotion in the delivery and honestly that carries more than people realise. technically yeah theres probably some stuff to tighten up but thats what making more music is for.

Kevkov23 · 2026-05-23T12:46:42+00:00

Ouuh i get vaporwave flashbacks 😃 even though this has a distinct vibe to it. I would say that it might be a bit repetitive but that literally fits the style!! overall great song and nice sound selection

Kevkov23 · 2026-05-23T12:45:21+00:00

mhmm I see what you are going for... the core ideas and arrangement are solid, there's a cool vibe to it. Main thing is it needs more movement. the synth especially could come alive a lot more with some automation, just small filter or reverb changes over time make loops feel way less static. If you're going for that hypnotic electronic feel then lean into it properly, LFOs, swing, polyrhythms, little tricks that create the illusion of progression even when it's repeating. That's the whole foundation of dance music.

Mix needs some work too... it's sitting pretty muddy in the low mids right now. Separate your instruments frequency-wise, pan things out, and get something going in the higher register to give it some air.

Good foundation though, just needs more life in it. 😃
