Song: Played me for the last time

Positive Comments: Sound is huge, great samples!! I love the snare sound. This feels like a complete hit. A chill movie trailer or any kind of scene. The intrigue is already set in by the hook, 1:25 I’m in. I like how the song develops with each pass. Breakdown at 2:35 was a good release. Great sounding track!
Constructive Comments: The low end in the track is pretty extreme. The melody and chord changes are somewhat common. After the breakdown was a good opportunity to add another part, instrument. A solo right out off the breakdown (3:00) would have been nice (a pan flute or something would have given it a nice world touch). I understand you and all of us are limited to what we have access to but any woodwinds solo right there would add a new level of dimension and interest to the track. This song had samples which sounded like jungle animals but the track had nothing to do with ‘world music’, I think it would be better placed in R&B or Rap, cinematic. After 3 listens I don’t have any melody or hook in my head. The song cuts off in the end on the fade… hopefully this is a demo and you’re just looking for feedback. Just my taste but I think there were too many synth tracks. Although you had great ideas, the song was overloaded with mid and sub low frequencies… for me. Some great samples though.
