Song: Out of the Mouths of Babes
Reviewer: Shelby Sanborn
Positive Comments: The instrumentation and the arrangement are well done. I like the instrumentation. The recording quality is also done well. Lyrics are fine and the singer has a good overall tone to her voice. I like the sound of the strings in the song. Very nice playing. Nice in the instrumental part of the song. See below for more about the vocals.
Constructive Comments: The song is listed under pop but it sound more like a folk/country/blues tune to me. I would say the instrumentation is country blues and the vocals are sung more like a religious hymn. Vocals did not work for me. Not very Pop sounding at all. The singer sings it too much the same all the way through. There’s a delicate balance between being consistent (so the song sticks in your head) and being too predictable which can fail to hold someone’s interest. The vocal choices on this song are too predictable (too much the same all the way through).Some places I could not make out the words due to the mix between vocals and instrumentation. I’m thinking this song was just mislabeled. Maybe there’s a market for this in the right circles.
