Second single from my upcoming Dolly Parton tribute EP. Taking time, remembering, cherishing and celebrating this amazing artist. She was the inspiration, 110%.

Hi! Thanks for sending this lovely song. I enjoyed its easy-going melody and the lyrics but for my playlists I prefer a more classic blues / americana with a bit grittier / darker tone and mood. Keep it up!
Hello there! thank you very much for sharing your new song with us. Nice melodies, the song has strong foundation for a good country track. However, the production side of the song is not there yet...the master sounds very overcompressed and not natural. Sounds more like a badly compressed mp3, rather than a fully polished production. Keep refining your art.
Greetings and thank you for sharing your song with me! A nice and clean production, the strings sound crisp in there, I like the bassline. The vocals start early which I like for audience retention. I like the lyrics as well as they are pretty relatable but I am not a big fan of the vocals themself. Way too many vocal effects on there for me personally to be a good match. All the best and have a great day, R
There’s a really nice warmth to the track, but it leans a little more country-leaning than the direction I’m looking for right now. I’d keep some of that organic charm while bringing in a slightly different flavor to make it feel closer to the sound I’m after. The character is definitely there though, so I’d love to hear what you explore next.
vocals sound super effortless here, love that you retained the rawness of the instrumental lines. it's a super clever track but i just kinda wish it has this momentous component which i felt would further solidify the hook on here
Hello! It sounds like a very chill and calm track. Perfect vibe for my indie playlist. However, the mix right now has this unnaturally airy sound that I find a bit muffled and fuzzy. Sorry for the decline.
Thanks for your submission, Echovayn. I enjoyed this laid-back country production. In particular, I appreciate the big choir at 48 seconds. However, I'm not interested in productions that contain the crunchy electric guitars for my Indie Rock playlist. Of course this is just my opinion.
Beautful song and writing and vocal tone but to my ears and lsits the rooot to fifth pattern in the bass sounds a bit too old school and traditional to m years and lists. In general I miss a bit more modern sound and some more surprising musical elements. Still beautiful song and solid musicianship. ALso the songwriting with the love to the music sounds super inspiring and beautiful to me but as I mentioned before I miss a bit more modern sound for my lists. best wishes
It’s great to hear from you. Usually looking for something moodier, so this feels a bit too bright, but the main chord progression is really nice. Best of luck with the release!
Hi Echovayn! Thank you for trusting me again with your track. I appreciate the swung feel in the arrangement. I’m quite sorry for declining because the vocal mix felt a bit subdued and the instrumentation felt a bit hollow for me. I’m actually looking to add tracks with a more upfront vocal mix and have clarity, and a well balanced guitar warmth and a more centered drum mix. Wishing you all the best!
Thanks for your submission. Love the vocal here. Has a nice tone and the song has a nice smooth feel to it. In saying that, this is too conventional sounding for my taste. I'm afters something a little more alternative and edgy sounding. Thanks and good luck with the release.

Hola. La canción tiene un comienzo que es identificable al country desde su inicio. La instrumentalización es la acorde a ella, con buenas guitarras acústicas y sonidos de fondo envolventes que manejan una melodía exquisita en su recorrido. La vocalización femenina es dulce melódica y guarda total armonía cin la intención instrumental. Sonidos de percusión de sintetizadores tenues ayudan a remarcar su idea y unos teclados esporádicos del piano se utilizan como un buen recurso. La intensidad baja de su sintonía es mantenida a lo largo de ella y termina de forma dulce y agradable como su inicio. A pesar de no incorporar muchos temas de música country, este ha sido uno de los mejores en cuanto a melodía y por lo tanto estará en nuestra playlist. Fuerte abrazo!
