It´s just a demo, but what do you think of the song and the singing?
Thanks for your help!

I like the instrumental, the singing wasn't really to my taste, but thats not to say it isn't any good

What about the song then?
I think the verse could be a little bit more catchy. But the chorus is pretty good I think.
But what do you think?

A fun song - I wouldn't necessarily remember the melody after just the one listen, but it was OK. It's a kinda dated pop/rock style, but even so, I'm sure people would bounce along to it if you played it live.

Interestingly, after the first chorus the general mix and balance improve greatly (and your vocal performance too). I would work on the vocals in the first verse and chorus to make sure they are right on the note (and timing). First impressions count!

That is a nice light, fun pop song - great stuff

Had me tapping me foot. I thought the instrumental parts were excellent, really well put together. I like the vocals too, although as echosonic says, the earlier vocals are less strong than later ones. - I often have this problem too..once I get into the song, I tend to relax a bit more into the vocals. But they sound fine, you may just want to have another go.

I think the verse does it's job well - it sets up the chorus, which, IMO, is what a lot of pop songs do. Often the verse is like a vehicle to a strong chorus, so I think it's fine.

Again, as echosonic says, in a live context, I could imagine people dancing around to that and having a jolly good time!

Good stuff

Hey
Thanks to Clare_bear and EchoSonic.
I agree that the song gets stronger towards the end.
I´m glad that you think it would do good live!

Thanks for the respons

Great song, just needs more attention to detail but the main meat is there. Your voice reminds me of Orson when you get to the chorus, sounds great.
I think your right, the verse could maybe use a stronger hook, and maybe the guitar not so stabby. The guitar seems to be following the kick like a bass would ! ?

Had another listen while typing this, The intro really grows on you and the harmony vocal at the end is great. Post some more if you have any, I really enjoyed that
