This is a rock version with a touch of metalcore. This is a song about losing someone who once made the world feel vivid, and then discovering that memory doesn't quite preserve the emotional reality of what was lost, through an emotional a rock guitar composition aesthetic. Vocals featuring myself and chorus vocals done by my son, who is deep into Metalcore

Hi DJ RiccoFX, I thought this track was so fun, super easy to sway your head your head to. There's a big concern that I'm having: the vocals are heavily processed. What I'm looking for is a clean and unprocessed vocal performance for any submission, and the amount of pitch correction, reverb, and/or formant shifting really is distracting. Another concern of mine is that the song really runs the gamut from commercial Pop to post hardcore screaming, and I think it ends up landing across a few too many different playlists of mine because of the genre remix. If you have future submissions with one concrete overall genre, cleaning up the vocals along the way, I would like to hear one of those instead to be a better match with us on your next track. Keep them coming!

Hi, DJ RiccoFX! Thanks for sharing. Your song sounds conceptual and energetic. The combination of heavy riffs and electronic sounds adds a fresh touch to your soundscape. The vocals are powerful and, at times, epic. Your song is an interesting musical experience, but unfortunately, I didn’t get to fully appreciate it. I hope you understand. Wishing you success!

Hello. The start of this song with guitar picking and accelerations of them, with a main vocal very well tuned and with a cinematic tint, as well as the choral voices, they sing a very harmonious melody that lacks neither emotion nor intensity and which, despite its harmony, raises its intensity considerably. The song proceeds with the same emphasis and experiences highs and lows of intensity with the guitars and drums in explosions but always melodic. This time it will not be included because we are looking for slightly more alternative melodies, but it is a good production. Kind regards!

Hola. El inicio de esta canción con punteos de guitarras y aceleraciones de ellas, con una vocalización principal muy entonada y con tinte cinematográfico, al igual que las voces corales entonan una melodía bien armónica que no le falta emoción ni intensidad y que a pesar de su armonía, su intensidad se eleva bastante. La canción transcurre con el mismo énfasis y experimenta altos y bajos de intensidad con las guitarras y batería en explosiones pero siempre melódicas. Esta vez no será incorporada por buscar melodías algo más alternativas, pero es una buena producción. Saludos cordiales!

This is a song with an instrumental that has shades of alternative metal. I like how the scream sounds at 1:15, but I feel the vocal EQ could sound more polished; there are some frequencies that come across as very digital. Regards

esta es una cancion que tiene una instrumental con tintes de metal alternativo, me agrada como suena el grito en el minuto 1:15, pero siento que la ecualización vocal puede sonar mas pulida, tiene algunas frecuencias que suenan muy digitales, saludos

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your music with us. Appreciate that. Great guitar intro. The melodies are not bad. We personally think your track would benefit from better mixing and mastering...the whole master sounds so overcompressed and not organic...keep refining your art, keep on rockin'!

really love how full the sound is on the production end, vocals come through the music so very cleanly and seamlessly. the song is a total vibe but the topline didn't engage with me enough on this one, i'm sorry

Hi there and thank you for sharing your music with me! The production is clean, I like the soundtrack for sure, those strings sound crisp clean! the vocals drop in at 16 seconds which is good timing for audience retention. The lyrics are nice and I believe they are relatable for the audience. The vocals themself are not my cup of tea though. I like the energy in there for sure but those vocal effects are simply too much for me. All the best, R

Hey there. There is a decent rock groove driving the piece forward, and the backing tracks set up an effective base. The main issue lies with the vocals, which sound rather standard and lack a personal edge to make them cut through. Because the vocal performance feels fairly interchangeable with other songs in the genre, Color of the Sound misses the distinct identity required to earn an addition to this specific lineup.

Color of Sound is a release that gradually gains strength and energy as the minutes go by, but to be specific and honest with you, it doesn’t align with the authenticity I’m looking for in my selection. I’m sorry to say that I wasn’t hooked by the artificial production, mainly because I prefer a genuine vocal performance and a more polished sound. I’m more interested in cohesion. Sorry.

Thanks for sending your track my way. Even though this is obviously an AI song, it has some nice elements musically. If you continue down this path, the vocals need to be more "in the mix" instead of sitting on top. I would also strive to add more uniqueness to the music. Make the bridge more interesting or impactful or add tempo changes.

Notamos que esse título traz uma explicação sobre as cores que representam um fogo que foi descoberto há milhões de anos. Apresentou boa estrutura musical e nesse trecho estrofe pela segunda vez notei algo diferenciado, onde o acompanhamento de guitarra faz toques bem rápidos 1/4 por tempo, algumas notas com tempo fraco e outras com tempo forte. O solo de guitarra após o refrão pela segunda vez é uma impressão de que a sincronia está bem preciso, observado aos detalhes de qualidade, que está pouco defasado. De resto, sua música foi produzida sem problemas intercorrentes. Por questões de seletividade e controle qualitativo, manteremos a recusa nesta música. Bom trabalho!
