This is a Christmas holiday song from a band that releases 1-2 Christmas songs per year. The songs are meant to be humorous, slightly subversive, and fun. This song is an upbeat mix of holiday spirit and personal aspiration.

Tienes una buena canción pero no me conquista del todo. Me ha faltado un estribillo un poco más llamativo y pegadizo. Te deseo buena suerte para próximas ocasiones
Big snowballs is a bright proposal that stands out for its optimistic and cheerful spirit. The main male voice along with the backing choir conveys charisma and love for music. However, although I enjoyed its charisma and festive atmosphere, I don't promote songs with Christmas themes. For that reason, I had to pass. I focus on lively songs, only with a more danceable and accessible approach.
I can hear the direction you’re aiming for, and I appreciate the creativity behind the track. One area that could use some improvement is the overall dynamics, as certain parts could benefit from more variation to keep the listener engaged throughout. Adding more contrast and refining the way the different elements work together could make the song feel more complete. I’ll have to decline it for now, but I hope you continue building on your sound.
Thank you for the song! The guitar and vocals blend nicely, creating a pleasant and balanced sound. I like how naturally the two elements work together, giving the song its own character. However, I’m currently looking for songs with more captivating and expressive vocals that really grab my attention and leave a lasting impression. Still, it’s a nice piece of work, and I appreciate you sharing it with me. I’d love to hear more from you in the future!
Hey Viva, I appreciate you sharing your music with me. After considering the vocal performance, melodic direction, production, and overall structure, I don’t feel this release is the right addition to my current selection. Thank you for the work you’ve put into the song, and I hope your next release finds the right audience.
Notamos que teve participação significativa, especialmente as backing vocals que formam camadas impressionantes. É uma entrega de satisfação muito bem apreciado para audiências. Se o natal está chegando, todo mundo já sabe, mas apreciar estas paisagens sonoras incentiva de certa forma a ter participação e as criançadas brincarem noção rítmica usando qualquer instrumento convencional ou não. Um som inesquecível e automaticamente traz uma lembrança que o natal já chegou. Suas vozes seguem boas práticas de ensaio em relação ao afinação e sincronia. A justificativa desta recusa é que ainda não temos certeza se compartilharemos ou não e também normalmente as músicas de natal são concentrados quando estiver bem próximo ao mês de dezembro. De qualquer forma, desejo bom trabalho!

Hey there, thank you for sharing your song with me! I think that the acoustic guitar theme was really interesting, very well done with the mood that you have created, it was really interesting in my opinion. I think that the backing vocal themes were really nice also. I think that you have some really great ideas inn the song. Unfortunately this "balls" theme was just not really for me, I'm really sorry. I'm not really looking for comedic songs I'm really sorry. It was musically not as engaging either for me this time, I'm really sorry. I have to decline your submission this time. Good luck with your submission!
Good to hear this one from Viva Von Diva, as the track brings a lively Christmas mood that captures that seasonal fun well. However, the mix balance on the guitars does not sit right for what I need, and the rustic vocal tone feels somewhat rough against the pop direction. The ending section also trails off awkwardly instead of wrapping up cleanly, which makes Big Snowballs feel a bit uneven overall. That guitar treatment combined with the ending prevents it from finding a natural spot in my current selection.
hey folks! awesome feel you've created here but l'm not digging the Iyrics. definitely not bad! just not my kinda thing! cheers
Hey Viva Von Diva, I loved the upbeat and wholesome feel of the song and the rich tone of the vocal but I'm sorry to say that the mix quality of the song sounded too bright for me which made it sound not very pleasant at moments. I'm sorry to pass for now.
Hey, I like the vocal movement throughout. The lyrics are amazing too. But for us, the chorus doesn’t feel compelling enough. Your style is creative, so keep going. Best wishes!
Hello there and thank you for submitting your music! A nice and clean production for sure, good work on that. The instrumental also sounds pretty vibrant and crisp. I like the lyrics but the pace of the song is a bit too slow as I personally prefer more energetic singing right from the start, for audience retention reasons. This is just my personal taste and opionion of course. A bit too soon for christmas songs as well. All the best, R
Hey thanks for sending this one over. I really enjoyed the chill and laid back feel of this song. The vocal writing was smooth and felt quite authentic. Unfortunately I was personally still missing some more fine tuning on the production for all the different layers to sound a bit more clear and present. Have a nice day! Hendrik
Your track stands out for its high-quality production and well-crafted musical development, with instrumentation and harmonies that blend beautifully to create an enjoyable and pleasant atmosphere. However, its overall sound doesn't fully align with the identity of my playlist, as I'm currently prioritizing songs with stronger rhythmic impact, greater energy, and a more dynamic feel.
Hey there! We like your singing rhythm along with warm instruments. However your song feels a bit warm, slow and too positive for our taste, which doesn't fit quite nice among other faster and stronger engaging rock songs with introspective tones along that we prefer in our 'rock legends' playlist to be honest. And your song doesn't fit well among other dreamy and introspective songs that we usually feature in our "electronic rock/indie" one, sorry 🙏
Hey Viva Von Diva, This is a lovely song for sure, it feels so ready for the Christmas season. Though for a pop sub, I would have been looking for a punchier sound design on the drums and instruments, leaning into more commanding (and less "soulful") vocals that match a commercial pop sound. This jolly holiday vocal style and instrumentation is a little too relaxed and indie for my more saucy, commercial pop playlist needs, unfortunately. On future pop subs, consider sticking to a more punchy drum and instrumental line and some stronger lead vocals, to be a better fit with us! For the music -VH
Hey there! Beautiful tune. Brings that vibe of holidays. Every instrument is in the right place: there's nothing I would add. Wholesome arrangement. Charismatic vocals. Unfortunately, I don't think that holiday music would fit any of my playlists. I'm sorry. Your music is a wonderful piece of art - thank you for the submission!
I find the instrumental tracks to be tight, I like the holiday sound elements a lot. However to better fit my playlist I personally would've liked for the track's mix to have a cleaner sound to it
the story is great.. and I love the vocal arrangements. The song has a ton of good ideas and would fit nicely on a more .. adult... themed Christmas playlist. But one think to remember is that Christmas songs are a better fit in a playlist with other Christmas songs. I like the island themed vibe- the rhythms and happy vibe- quite summer-y and that was a nice juxtaposition with the wintery lyrical theme but the song needed a bigger even more over the top voice and more modern sounding virtually created ideas for the song to be as competitive as it has the potential to have. Clearing up that it was SNOWBALLS you were talking about at the very end of the song was another clever idea. Good stuff but just not something I can add to the lists I have now. Keep up the fun work!!!!
Hey, my friend, Viva Von Diva! I just listened to your track Big Snowballs. Your vocals bring a cheerful energy, complemented by the gentle rhythm of the chords. The approach is simple and has a sincere country touch, but it ends up feeling more nostalgic, which doesn't quite connect with our current chill direction. Still, congratulations on your authenticity and charisma! And don't forget to leave our team a positive rating. Nage, Chill Connections
Very grateful you sent this in. Loved how intimate this track felt, but we normally feature tracks that are more on the moody and darker side, and not so much uplifting or happy music. Hope you find this feedback helpful in any way and would love to hear more of your tracks if you think they fit the description above (you're very talented!).
Hola! Los sonidos y efectos son interesantes generando un ambiente navideño y alegre, la letra es fácil de aprender y con una buena trama que te envuelve desde el comienzo hasta el final. La guitarra es un buen instrumento que ayuda a que tu voz se logre apoyar en ella. Sin embargo, considero que faltó la incorporación de más puentes vocales, hay momentos donde se siente muy plana, asi que por este motivo no podre compartir tu cancion en esta playlist.
Hola. La canción tiene una introducción sin demoras y con una alegría manifiesta en su melodía. Una percusión interesante con buenos sonidos de fondo le dan una buen marco a la voz principal, grave y entonada y un coro más alegre aún con buenos sonidos de percusión tipo navideños. El estribillo es reconocible y eso es bueno para su memorización. El teclado del piano hace una buena aparición y sonidos de una trompeta solitaria le da riqueza instrumental. Su finalización es más alegre aún. La producción es muy buena, pero al buscar melodías algo más ásperas, esta vez no será incorporada pero destacamos cada punto mencionado. Saludos cordiales!
