Dear friends of music, I need your help with my new song!
Dear Music friends,
I am new to this forum, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to submit new song for reviews and opinions?
I have made a new song and I was wondering what would be your opinions about it...
Here is the page where you can play the song.. It's called Rainbow Smile
http://www.timbrestar.com/TimbreStar/Song_Recipes.html
My question are;
+ Does it sound professional? If now why?
+ What's missing or what's too much?
+ I am a songwriter/producer not vocalist so I know vocals are weak side of the song and I'm looking for collaborations on that side but I still want to hear your opinion about it?
+ Would you pay for this song? What does it need for it to be successful?
I am open to all ideas and recommendations.. I would appreciate your help...
Thank you very much,
TimbreStar ~ I live for a better world and I'm after the missing note.

Re: Dear friends of music, I value your opinion, please help!
Howdy! I dig the groove and would love to hear a live band play it. Wasn't crazy about the drums, mostly because it would sound so good with a live drummer. I actually like the tone of your voice, i know it was heavily auto tuned but you do have an instrument there, don't sell yourself short. To me it sounds like a first draft, but a solid place to build from. Good luck! eo.

Re: Dear friends of music, I value your opinion, please help!
Thank you very much eo I totally agree with you on live instruments and band playing it. Actually when I play it on acoustic guitar it has more magic to it. I'm pulling the day to record it with live instruments with a band... Actually as English isn't my native language, I always wondered how does my English sound to English speaking people... It's good to know you liked it, made me happyeeoo wrote:Howdy! I dig the groove and would love to hear a live band play it.

Your English is fine (better than mine)
I like this! Even if it wasn't a totally live band, just a couple of real instruments would really make this a stand out track. It's just one of those groovy kind of songs that crys out for some real elements. Good job!

Re: Dear friends of music, I need your help with my new song!
I thought it had a nice groove, I stuck around and listened to the whole song, I was curious to see if it had a bridge and it did! I liked the rapping. I couldn't pull out the lyrics but I'm just listening on my laptop right now,Sorry it's 6:00am here. (Always best to post the lyrics for a full critique) I don't know if it has enough slam for an A/C artist but I think it could find a home in TV/Movie. The genre feels like A/C more than anything else to me. All in all i liked it, it was catchy. gl

I have updated the player on my website so it's much easier to find the lyrics now, hopefully... thanks!

I like the song a lot. I think your vocals are good. Why do you think you're not a vocalist?

When I clicked your link, I kept on waiting for the song to play. Took me a couple of minutes to notice the little box I had to click on; not familiar with this site. First of all, the intro, at 34 seconds, is too long. Secondly, at least on my computer, everything came through on my left earpiece. Third, I had trouble hearing the lyrics, they need to be more up front.
Liked it, though. Nice vibe and groove, and the lyrics i was able to hear, I liked. The rap type of sequence near the end was a nice variation.

Intro too long. Done by too many people.
WOrds been done before.
Don't write music for someone to be sorry for you.
A lot of overtones of things that generally hit the reject pile.
Need to make things much bolder.
