Here is my WIP for this month's competition: You have some magic here. I love it! The starting feels musically a bit insecure, but after that song finds itself and rapidly turns me into a listener. Your fragile and honest voice and tone serve this song perfectly. I end up listening to you, not so m...

Hello All, I don't have much to say about this entry. The image just gave me a chill vibe, so that's where I started out. You start this song wih very promising with a nice melodic theme. But very soon theme begins to feel too short and starts to repeat itself too much. Maybe the melodic loop resol...

Re: Songwriting Competition - restriction on vocal sample usage (December 2022)

I like these new clearly defined rules concerning the use of vocal samples. Here's some thoght's that came to my mind. SWC can be considered more broadly as a "music making" competition or more precisely as a "song writing" competition. I guess it's up to Mr Fox to decide how he ...

I also listened to your song and again you managed to create it with very catchy melodies. The solos are very good, the classical music inserts are neat :) The song itself is very good. However, I feel a bit more like this rockabilly (?) style than heavy metal. There are a lot of distortion, but ma...
