Song: Lonely Out Here
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: Here’s a poignant break-up song from the male counterpart’s point of view, “It’s lonely out here.” That is well-communicated in this sad song. Forlorn and forsaken, he wonders what went wrong. Sincere vocal with nice piano instrumentation. Mirror/here – nice rhyme.
Constructive Comments: The vocal is nice, but rather…understated. It almost seems like it would benefit from raising the key, too. Sounds like you’re at the bottom of your range. I could understand all the lyrics, but had to really concentrate to do it. You have a beautiful voice I just wanted to hear more of it. One place where you could have upped the ante was at the end of the bridge on “feeling out here”, add a bit of dramatic “something” to that vocalization. The synth ending didn’t do justice to the song…why not end it with that beautiful piano playing? The lyrics seem a bit repetitious to me. This song needs more specifics, more word pictures and story/substance than just looking in the mirror. What did he find there when he looked?
