In the meantime, I don't want you to misunderstand - by all means make a video!

I'm sure you know this - you can actually do a lot with limited means; your phone, DaVinci Resolve video editor, there's free stock footage with landscapes and beautiful people and all kinds of stuff everywhere. Making a video is not that hard anymore.

(Also, I find music videos on youtube are pretty much dead except for shorts, and then only if they see you singing).

It's just the bit where you say "big budget"; I'd invest in yourself and in the song first. All the best!

As a word of caution, here's a lady who had some good music, invested a lot, and pretty much lost all of it. Look at the economics and think about it.

Honest answer? Marketing and PR is a multiplier.

If you already have some traction, it can work, but it's very easy to pump money into a black hole you'll never see back. Sorry if that's not the answer you wanted to hear :)

If you play live, either as a DJ or as a live musician, if this is the song people react to, if they come to you after your set and say hey that song was amazing, that's when you probably have a good starting point. If you start from scratch, I'd wait with investing money in marketing.

I think if you're very proud of this song I'd take it to a producer and invest your money there to make the song and the mix stronger. I think there's some good stuff, but I think you can definitely work on the mix. Also, eg around 1:04 after the drop things are out of sync, and vocals and instruments are all doing their own thing; same again after 2:07. I also in all honesty think you can lose a couple repeats and make it stronger.

Keep working on it!

Lovely! Who's the singer? Sounds nice and poppy!

It's interesting! I like the distant vocals.
It's great you're developing your own sound!

Well done Atilla! And happy new year!

I really like this one man. Everything works exactly right here!

Yeah! Just what I needed on this Monday morning! :)

Is that your voice? That's great!

Hey buddy, I was wondering how you are! Hope all is good - this is a great track!

I like it a lot! Great stuff!

I really enjoyed that, great track and a good message too :)

Bloody hell man, that's absolutely amazing. Great stuff! Super raw and very compelling!

A lovely song! Not a country fan but really enjoyed this!

I really like this one. Great track man, huge energy in this one!

I love the Casio/8 bit sounds in the intro. It's a very nice retro sound and fits perfectly with the more smooth sounds later on and the excellent playing. Welcome back!

I was already headbopping with a smile on my face and then that lovely bassline came in at 1:00.... that's excellent. Also glad I listened on my good headphones because that mnight have been too subtle for my cheap earphones.

Great job!

That's amazing! Can I call you when I need some sax? :)

That's a great start!

Hahaha overdubs is my middle name man. If I get it right first time I generally play it at least a couple more times just out of momentum (and then I screw it up, usually) ;)

I love this. Great use of the vocals!

A bit short but actually quite interesting. Curious where you'll take it next!

This is so good. Love your guitar playing and that sax is awesome!

This is really close to my heart :)
