Song: Deja-vu

Reviewer: Simon Finn

Positive Comments: A good band sound and a classic pop song. I’m not sure Deja Vu is an original enough title, but it has given you some good material lyrically, which is delivered in a positive way. Some really good guitar (acoustic and electric) playing here. The hook was simple and suck in my head.

Constructive Comments: Like most songs on here, your introduction, being only a simple riff, is repeated too often. You could give just one rendition of it and get into the meat of the song much faster, it’s a common songwriting error. There is a problem with the rhythm section (bass, drums) of your arrangement in the verse in that they are too busy and seem to be competing with one another – the kick doesnt’ stand out enough, meaning the rhythmic vibe of your song gets lost and leaves you feeling slightly sea-sick with the rocking momentum of it.
