You Can Do It
The overall structure is good – the sections are succinct, flowing one to another with their own melodic identities and keeping the energy up. Total length is good too.
The hook is very clear and obvious in the context of the song…lots of effective repetition and a big payoff for it. Very catchy too. The lyric is staying on track to the main idea of the song – got some inspiring lyric that fits well with the “success” direction and also stays entertaining as well.
Got a very catchy melody here, especially with the Chorus and the hook…great job there. Again, every section has its own melody and identity so that was a really good approach as well. The overall vibe and production sound pretty dang peppy,
This is a strong version of the song and I think it’ll work well for that specific intention overall.
(excerpted from NSAI song evaluation)
Hey Bazza,
Had a listen to your newest track, well done, sounds rad as! Nice full round sounds, rhythm guitar is fat also, nice warm deep with distortion, and chord progression is a ripper. Catchy melody, I like how the track is more the minor side in the verses , and has words that will get stuck into head after a few listen! 🙂 Andy Sellars
