Like all songs from Viva Von Diva, this is a Christmas song with subversive tendencies. It is rife with double-entendres and comedic (we're hopeful) in spirit. It is one of 2 holiday songs we have released this year.

La canción es agradable, pero creo que los ritmos que tienen no encajan del todo con lo que estamos buscando. Te mando buena suerte y espero poder ayudarte en el futuro con tu música
I don't think adding it will work with my playlist because I don't cover Christmas releases, and I also find its lyrics pretty repetitive. I prefer a truly romantic approach for a playlist placement, but mainly something deep and moving. Sorry, but it doesn't fit.
I appreciate the opportunity to listen to your song. The vocal tone works well with the melodic direction, but the emotional intensity feels fairly even from beginning to end. A few more intimate moments or stronger lifts during key phrases might help the listener connect more deeply with the performance. I’ll pass on this, while recognizing the direction you’re exploring.
Observamos que as progressões de acordes possuem objetivo de trazer felicidade significativa e comemorar a cada ano natalino que passa. As suas vozes e os instrumentos presentes possuem de suma importância as afinações, bem como as notas musicais tocadas corretamente. Esses trompetes possuem bom controle de estridência, o que não compromete qualidade técnica de modo que os ouvintes fiquem incomodados. Analisando ao título, alguns significados eu percebi que tem alguma tendência ao flerte ou algo "sexual". Tive que ouvir mais de uma vez para entender qual é seu contexto. Depois de analisadas na pesquisa, entendi que é um estoque de presentes. É que devido a expressão no final da música deu parecer algo que é íntimo. Por questões de segurança, preferimos recusar esta música. Bom trabalho!
Hi there Viva Von Diva. Love the performance on this track. Great flow in arrangement too. However, this track really has a very ballad styled structure and performance with a very blues-y playing style. It has a very slight soulful feel/style with the vocal and progressions, but it really does lean more solely on that blues playing style. There just aren't any tracks on my soul playlist (which this track is closest to) that leans this much towards blues/jazz so this would immediately stand out. I'll pass for now because of this difference in style
Hey there , epic track . The vibrant and catchy vocals steal the show . The melodies are super engaging and the chorus sounds full of life . But for our indie playlist we lookout for more dreamy guitar action in the chorus . Good luck! really appreciate the efforts but , unfortunately will have to skip this time. Good luck!
Loved the soothing and catchy vocals . The vibes are super soothing and liked the dreamy atmosphere . But on the other hand , we crave more variations and guitar influence for indie selections . Though the emotions are well expressed . It's not a perfect fit. Good luck! keep creating.
There’s a charming atmosphere to this track that gives it a cozy, seasonal feel! It leans a little too much into that particular mood for my playlist right now, as I’m looking for something that feels more timeless and versatile. Exploring a slightly different arrangement could help it work across more moods and settings. Keep creating, you’ve got a lovely vibe to build on! :)
Hey there, thank you for sharing your song with me! I think that the song had a really interesting mood, very well done with the groove that you have created, I think that the song had a really good mood, it was pretty interesting in my opinion. The drum beat was really cool in my opinion, the orchestration in the back worked very well too. I think that the song had an interesting lyrics with some hidden and not some hidden meaning. I think that musically it was just not as engaging unfortunately this time, I'm really sorry. I have to decline your submission this time, I'm sorry. Good luck with your submission!
Hey, Viva Von Diva presents a distinct holiday energy on Stuff My Stocking that comes through clearly from the start. That festive spirit gives the music an upbeat seasonal identity. The vocal delivery sits a bit too sharp and shrill for my taste, though. The piercing quality of the lead singing clashes with the smoother tone I aim to maintain throughout this rotation. It pulls too much harsh focus away from the cheerful background. That grating vocal tone prevents the track from matching what works for this specific playlist.
We really appreciate the overall sound and the musical ideas behind the song. That said, we felt the arrangement becomes slightly repetitive as the track progresses. Adding more variation to certain sections, such as a bridge, could help build tension and create a stronger sense of progression, keeping listeners engaged throughout. We truly appreciate your submission and hope to hear more of your work in the future. Best regards, Adityaa
Hi Viva Von Diva! Thank you for sharing this track with me. The uplifting holiday spirit alongside the swing feel in the arrangement were sublime. I’m sorry if I’ll decline as the Holiday themed tracks doesn’t fit in any of my playlist. The focus of my playlists are Indie rock, chill instrumental tracks, and Indie folk so sadly this track won't fit. I also feel that the vocal mix were a bit bright to me whereas I’d like deep warmth in the vocals for my playlist. Wishing you all the best!
Hi there and thank you for sharing your music! A pretty vibrant and relaxing tune. The production is clean, the synergy between the vocals and instrumental is on point. You have a great voice as well but the pace of the song is a bit too slow for me personally. I really prefer more energetic singing right from the start, for audience retention. This is just my personal taste and opinion of course. All the best and have a great day, R
Hello Viva Von Diva, I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to give you my feedback. I’m so captivated by the intimate bass, smooth piano, and gentle drum groove in your arrangement. I’m pretty sure this will align well with holiday focused songs in their line up but I’m sorry to sound harsh but my playlists don’t include that holiday theme in my line up. If I may add, I’m not resonating with the lack of depth in the instrumentation so I'll decline this time. I prefer a better balanced depth in the bass and drum kick. Best wishes!
Interesting orchestral introduction, with vocals entering at 0:08. I enjoy the strings accompanying the vocals in the introduction. Cool swing groove entering at 0:25. However, the reason why I'm declining is that the vocals are too much delay and reverb which is not a good fit for any of your playlist I'm curating. Keep in mind this is just my opinion. I will pass this time, but I wish you good luck with your release.
There is a clear sense of care and professionalism throughout your track, with rich instrumentation and a cohesive arrangement that create a smooth and appealing listening experience. However, the overall mood feels less energetic than the direction I'm pursuing with my current curation. I'm looking for songs with a more driving rhythm, a stronger sense of momentum, and a vibrant energy that brings a more powerful dynamic to my playlist.
This is a playful and whimsical track filled with innuendo. It's almost limited in content to Christmas playlists. The chord progression and rhythm in the back track really carry the song. The lyrics are fun but honestly felt a little bit forced to work at times. Background vocals add a nice element. The transition and change at 1:20 was a nice touch. The vocal mix and processing could use a little polishing. Very catchy hook in the chorus. A great track just a bit too limited in scope to fit my playlist. Best wishes with this one!!
Hey again Viva Von Diva, While I could enjoy your artistry in general, for a soulful-ish submission such as this, I would have been looking for a little more bluesy chords on the instrumentation, layering in more dominant 7 chords - for the flavor of soul I prefer. Though your vocals and instrumentals were strong, I do think that the song is a bit brighter, and not as bluesy or moody as I'm looking for in soulful music. It's not necessarily just the soulful element, but I have a hard time putting Christmas songs on my playlist before even Halloween has passed. On future soul subs, I would be looking for darker and moodier chords, instruments, and singing, and for future Christmas submissions, consider sending me something at least after Halloween, to be a closer consideration for placement with us VH
Hey there! Right away: that's a gorgeous delivery. Your voice timbre is gorgeous: stands out in this arrangement. Simple percussion glues it all together. Gorgeous piano: create a nice basis for the rest of instruments and back vocals. Unfortunately, I don't think that holiday music would fit my playlist. I'm really sorry. Your music is a wonderful piece of art - thank you for the submission!
Updating the virtually created instrumentation and creating a stronger mix where the backing vocals are a bit more up front is going to help the song get more positive attention I think. This is another song with clever fun lyrics that was hard not to like but rhythmically the song also needed to sound stronger. The piano is nice and she has fun telling the risque story- and that is important. Getting the backing vocals to sound a bit more fired up... not quite so smooth jazz- is something to consider. I do think that a version of this song with more modern production ideas is a song that would be more marketable. The spoken word outro was a nice touch and added a fun ending but the production not being totally top notch was a problem for me and I would think some folks who hear the song as well
Hey, my friend! Thank you for sending Stuff My Stocking. The instrumental texture brings to mind an '80s vibe, both through the organ and the overall mixing. Although the track conveys emotion and a warm, welcoming energy, it feels too nostalgic and doesn't quite fit the chill direction we're currently focused on. It's great to see your dedication and commitment! Keep sending us new music, and don't forget to rate our review as helpful. Nage, Chill Connections
Hi! Thanks for your track! I like the timbre of the voice and the way the vocals convey the track's mood. The sound is clean and rhythmic. However, the overall vibe doesn't quite fit my playlist. I’m looking for a more dynamic sound - something with moments of climax, such as a vocal hook or a striking shift in rhythm, to keep the listener’s attention.
You’ve got some interesting ideas in this track, and I appreciate the creativity behind it. However, the overall delivery and sonic approach aren't quite matching the sound I'm currently looking to feature on my playlist. Keep developing your sound, and I wish you continued success.
Hey, this song has a nice Christmas style with indeed cool double entendres. The delivery works excellently too. Only the chorus lacks some extra texture for more of a sense of momentum. Unfortunately, I'm declining for now. Cheers!
Hi Viva Von Diva! Thanks for sharing your track with me! I enjoyed the keyboard arrangement and the vocal performance. There are some nice melodic elements, and the song has a pleasant pop feel with a good sense of energy. However, I found myself looking for a more catchy and memorable chorus that would leave a stronger impression. Unfortunately, I don't think this one is quite the right fit for my playlist, but I appreciate you sharing your music with me!
