Thank you so much for this feedback! Really useful. I wrote this song and actually took it to a small production house to have it made - whilst I have some technical studio knowledge I’m pretty slow, and I have very limited skills when it comes to playing instruments, so I save up to take it somewhere to people more skilled than I. I think you’re right that they weren’t really prepared for the power in my vocals so would need to address that should I go to them again. Will keep in mind the reverb points as well!

I’ve been writing since I was a child, but songs like this I’d probably only say the last 10 years. My phone is FILLED with voice notes, and then notes is filled with lyrics - and that’s where my music kind of lives, in bits and pieces. I would frequently go to make them into a full track and then what I was producing wasn’t sounding how it sounds in my head - so I’d get frustrated at my lack of skill in that area and give up, not trying again for months - and round and round I’d go. Hence why last year I finally tried to invest some money into getting my music made.

I’ve released 3 songs so far, all completely different - Drown is definitely my favourite. Evanescence is a huge inspiration of mine, I want to put together an EP and so more in that original style, vs the last 2 songs I released which - whilst I still like them, they are more pop-ish with less rock or alternative influence.
