I think I liked this one best, the guitar makes it quite interesting, and I hope it inspires someone to make a track!

Privyet Aleksandr, you always manage to educate me. That title is as usual a very interesting reference and a glimps into an unknown world.
And a lovely song. You're getting better and better with every track it seems!

I liked that, but I didn't quite get the first 10 seconds, or the very short break at 2:44.
Not sure if those were intentional but the rest was very enjoyable!

Regarding:
===========
the lyrics felt banal and insincere -- there's nobody in my life like that right now, and usually I only write and sing tracks like that when there is
===========

We are artists. Did Madonna really feel like a virgin? Did Paul Simon really have diamonds on the soles of his feet? Did Freddy Mercury really kill a man?Maybe, maybe not, but they are emotions we recognise. We write and sing stuff others can relate to.
Did I really sing "you give me hope" for someone? Do you care?
I think you don't, as long as you recognise it and it touches you.

All this rant is just to say: don't worry too much about being banal/insincere. It's in our singing that we make it come true for the listener, and that's all that counts :)

Not sure if you are 3 years old or the track ;) ;) but in either case it's a good track!
(But I'd be slightly more impressed if you are 3 years old)
Good work man!

Ooohhh I really like this one. Great piano loop, and the drums are also really good!! Not sure what is sample and what you played yourself but congrats on a great track. Faved!

Ooh, that's lovely, I like it has a bit more punch, and the vocal is great as alway!

It's nice! It's a good basic melody and you introduce some more interesting elements in the middle part to keep the listener hooked. I wouldn't mind some kind of countermelody or chorus or break, but I think you don't need that.
Regarding that and your YouTube vids? I always publish the vid way at the end of the process, after it's been up on looperman for at least a couple weeks, because I learn so much here and it frustrates me that YouTube doesn't allow you to change the audio (or anything, really). You never suffer from that? :)

I like that DJ Cinema has a track called Silent Movie, but I fully expected this not to have vocals ;)
Nice bouncy track, good job!

That's a very nice bouncy beat, and good lyrics too. I also like the Kate Bush reference (well, sample) :)

I love the African guitar in the background.
The groove is very tight, but it still allows you your melodic freedom to experiment. Good job! Great guitar tones too!

Absolutely lovely and extremely well produced. If that's your first effort then you're a natural!

Fantastic choir. Surovie Gody is Russian for harsh years? That's a protest against mr Putin I hope? :)

Haaa, I know that Acapella, I'd also used it. It's lovely!

Here's mine, if you're interested (or if you're not): https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/236475

I have to say, I love your track, but I feel Jenna's acapella doesn't fully fit it. Something to think about, because I think your track is strong!

Holy shit, I like that!

I love Patricia's voice, and I wouldn't have imagined that on a blues scheme, but it definitely works.

I would consider to make her vocal pop a bit more btw, because she's now a bit hidden behind your awesome guitars. Good stuff man!

Most of this works pretty well, but the one finger piano melody is way too overpowered to my ears. See if you can consider to lower the volume on that? Good luck buddy!

I like it but you drove up the compression to the point where the distortion becomes painful to me. I wouldn't mind a bit more headroom. Good luck!

Maybe not perfect but definitely fun. It brought a smile to my face on a cold Wednesday morning!

Oh yeah!! Love the intro riff.
I'm not as critical of the drums of Danke, but he has an actual drummer in the band and I'm just an amateur ;) but yes, in a song like this they could definitely be heavier.
All in all great job, totally enjoyed it!

I try to do as much as I can without plugins (my laptop isn't powerful enough), but:
- izotope for mastering
- sometimes graylon for a spot of autotune
- I recently discovered Spitfire which has fairly convincing strings.
Hope that helps!

I like it. You put quite a bit of effect on the vocal, but that fits with the track, and it's a good dance tune. Well done!

It's a very nice idea... But a tad long ;)

It's definitely fun, and you worked in an interesting way with the 5/4th, in some parts more or less working around it, sometimes high-lighting it. I like the somewhat medieval sound you achieved in parts.
Regarding the one-synth challenge, I'd not heard about that before but I suppose you use only... One... Synth? :D
I think you made full use of it, but if you let go of it, I think you can make it more interesting. I'd definitely welcome a bit of that guitar, either some power chords towards the end or a good solo!

Well,I always approve guitar solos, so that's great :)
But I'm also a strong believer in finding a balance between having unfinished stuff, and never finishing stuff, if you get what I mean. Better is the enemy of good :)

Jenna has a great voice, I've also used one of her Acapellas in the past and ever since I'm a fan.
I really like what you did here, by slowing it down you really made it fit the tone of your electro tune.
Great retro vibe on it and strong mix where each element has a clear place.
Good stuff!
