Song: Always Beautiful
Reviewer: Stanford
Positive Comments: Great energy in the vocals, lots of variety in the musical arrangement and vocals. Lots of musical interest, surprises and ideas, all working well.
Constructive Comments: Love the energy in the vocals, sometimes the scanning isn’t quite right but the energy carries it.More surprises coming through with the female background vocals, very nice, I think they should be higher in the mix for sure, they’re too faint.I want that bass at the start to be much more forceful. The guitar tone is a little too EQ’d for my ear. I think it should be thicker on the rhythm, it’s good like that for the little lead parts though and outro is great.Lots of great variety and interest in the arrangement, not so much in the lyrics, I think more could be added to the lyrics.I think some strings in the “always there” build would thicken and give some great sweet contrast to the throaty aggressive parts.Lots of ideas, which I love, almost too many though to grab onto as a listener and give me a real hook.Overall I think that’s it there’s almost too much, more lyrical content, fewer changes but emphasising the hook even more would make it more commercial but then you may not be looking just for that!
