Get in touch via the contact page and fire across an email address. I am willing to assist in any way I can on the strict understanding that my time is freely given. I'm not seeking any credit or financial gain. Just want to help a fellow looper polish their work. :)

There is nothing wrong with the song. It's a very clever arrangement that will work well for commercial pop. Where the cookie crumbles is in the mixing with some levels slightly overcooked. I know the pain in your heart reading this but with a little bit of polish this one can shine. That awesome beat on the hook is dull sounding. Bring that into line with the rest I suspect by pulling back on a fader or two. That's all it is a couple of faders up too high you'll get the vibrancy back and the kick drum will kick not thud. That's what you're listening for. Sidechain the bass very slightly so it wraps around the beat better. Leave the vocal as is.. that's nailed as it stands. Remember this is just my opinion of what I would do with it. My early mixing sucked and I got a lot of helpful advice from other members how to improve it. An honest comment is worth a thousand giving lip service. You can't polish a turd but you can make a decent pop song shine all the ingredients are there for this to be a winner.

Hey no all the advice is much appreciated! This song is different in particular in that I did not engineer it at all. I can get the files for it though. Could you help me tweak things? I'd really appreciate it

a basic pop tune could be classed as commercial house also cool synth work there isnt much creative criticism i can say for this maybe more percussion harder kick some synth riffs :)

You put together a cool song but, the lyrics are pretty basic. Do you write everything yourself? Sounds like you know what your doing though. I just think you need to tell your story with a little more detail.

I do. This is my first pop song that I wrote. I think I'm a much better with lyrics now. I know they're quite generic. Thank you for the complement and for the tip!

I like the song. Are asking if anyone wants to collab? What do you use to record and do you play at all?

Hey bbelle thanks for commenting! I'm not on this one, but I'm uploading a track tomorrow that I will possibly be looking for a collaborator in the bridge. I use Cubase Studio 4 and I play guitar, keyboard and a little drums

Atmospheric liquid drum & bass meets deep house and UK garage, blending rolling breakbeats, deep sub-bass, chopped ethereal female vocals and nostalgic late-night ambience.

Description : I wanted to create something dark and romantic with an RnB and retro wave touch. This song has a retro futurism feel to it. I was inspired by The Weeknd when I was writing this song, especially his first mixtape, House Of Balloons, hence the deep roamntic analogies in the songwriting. I have sung this song myself and produced it too. No AI used here. This is an old song.
