Tune reminiscent of Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise'/Stevie Wonder 'Past time paradise'. Possibly cliched subject lyrically.

Good voice, well executed.

Good performance but didn't sound different or refreshing.

Has that little ROck element with a street soul/satana feel. Interesting lyrics, wish it could have been a little stronger. Her lyrical style very reminiscent of Sandy Thom and did have me tapping my feet away.

6 point(s) for Performance
Nice voice, not sure if it sat too well with this type of music, maybe a little bit more emphasis vocally could make this track a goer.

5 point(s) for Capture
Could have been mixed a bit more as voice stands out a little much, as voice was double tracked with no harmonies, so music sat too far in the back. Would have been nice to hear those drums and guitar rifs wrapped out solidly when solo'd.

Her voice felt very weak on this track, not saying she weak, possibly because of the rocky element of the track, just felt that way in this track. Keep trying the various styles of music to see where you voice sits best.

nice simple catchy pop melody


7 point(s) for Performance
when the vocal comes in, it needs to be tighter, it sounds like there's a bit of a hesitation

8 point(s) for Capture
it sounds quite well recorded & mixed.

it needs to go somewhere else though.. a bit of a bridge section that differs before it comes back to the chorus.


i can't stand fade outs though... a bit no no on that front.

Its a nice enough catchy-ish pop song. not really strong enough to make a mark in this genre, but a good effort

4 point(s) for Performance
Vocal performance is good, I'd like to see more edge all round elsewhere tho! Real drums would have been nice!

4 point(s) for Capture
Sounds like a very good demo. Nice balance but clearly constrained by the lack of real production vision. Its all safe and nice, but a bit bland as a result. The balance is pretty good and overall it works fine. Theres some painful vocal edits tho...

Not ground breaking in anyway, but a very pleasant song which will get a few singing along. The song appears not to go anywhere in particular. Would benefit from some building here and there a little more. Look at the emotional architecture of the piece.

6 point(s) for Performance
Some good solid performing. However tighter control of BVs with the lead vocal in the chorus would have been welcome.

7 point(s) for Capture
Good capture and the vocals hit you straight away. Good capture it seems until the drums come in and then it is a little too forward - almost not to the same standard. A great attempt at the production and it is slick - just a little over keen if that makes sense? Too much bass and too much treble. Nothing serious though.
