What The Hell - Live Extended Version

What The Hell gives off an incredible vibe from the start. I enjoyed its motivating spirit conveyed in its cheerful and lively atmosphere. It's just that for my selection, I prefer a more authentic production. I noticed an artificial vocal performance, which diverges from the authenticity I promote. That's why I had to decline. Even so, I hope you feel that I love its beautiful shared message. It motivates and uplifts.

Thank you for the song! The guitar and vocals complement each other nicely, creating a pleasant and natural sound. I like the overall performance, and the arrangement feels well put together. However, the melody didn’t quite grab my attention this time, and I’m looking for something a little more memorable that leaves a stronger impression. Still, I appreciate the work you’ve put into this song, and I’d be happy to hear your future releases!

Thanks for your submission. I can appreciate the energy of the track and solid vocal here. The track flows along nicely, especially with those twanging guitars. The crowd gives the song a nice energy. That said, this is far too upbeat and a little hard hitting for my playlists. Thanks and good luck with the release.

Thank you very much for your submission. This song has a lot of energy and overall the vibe isn't bad. For myself I found the chorus when it got loud to sound a bit synthetic in the high end of the mix. There are some good ideas there for sure. Just doesn't suit my preference. Sorry not to share today. All the best.

Hola. La velocidad de su inicio anticipa la energía de la misma, n guitarras clásicas del country y una vocalización melodiosa y acorde a su género que eleva la intensidad con buenas intervenciones de un supuesto público en vivo. La batería sabe marcar bien los tiempos y el violín al clr la vo hace una muy buena aparición. Y el recurso de bajar la intensidad con el teclado de piano interviniente le otorga mayor melodía y una riqueza argumentativa grande a su vez, el silencio instrumental dejando solo a la voz, da mayor utilización de recursos. Es una muy buena producción pero no llego a convencernos la extensión de la misma. Saludos cordiales!

Hi! Thanks for sending this tune. I really enjoyed its energetic, uplifting sound and the lyrics of the song but for my playlists I focus on tracks with a bit grittier delivery and slow-paced, bluesy style. Keep it up!

Hi there! Awesome track. Really liked the vocals and energy . The guitar melodies are super catchy but, the overall vibes from the rhythm section feels a bit upbeat and heavy for our playlist . Rest ,the track has got some real good potential. Good luck! keen to hear more from you.

I appreciate the submission. The vocal and instrumental each have their own qualities, but their balance doesn’t feel quite right to me in this mix. I would have liked the main vocal to sit more naturally within the production. Thank you for letting me hear the track.

Hey , top quality production and songwriting . In love with the vocals and catchy melodies . The mix sounds very professional and overall it's an outstanding track . But on the other hand our mood is more mellow and rhythmically chill with more dreamy guitars . Good luck! it's not a perfect fit.

There’s a nice idea behind the track, and I appreciate the effort that went into it! The production feels a little too polished and synthetic for my taste, though, and I’m looking for something with more organic textures and a more natural feel for my playlist right now. A few more human touches in the sound could really help bring out its character. Keep experimenting and refining your style, there’s always room to grow! :)

Thanks for sharing your music with me! The production feels a little too synthetic for my taste, so I’ll have to pass on this one for now. I think letting more of the natural character of the vocals and instruments shine through could help the song feel more personal and expressive. Wishing you the best with your music, and I hope to hear another release from you soon!

Hey there! thank you very much for sharing your song with us. Overall nice country rock track. Nice vocal melodies. However, we'd recommend investing a little more work into mixing and mastering. The track sound a little overcompressed and lacks certain depth and warmth. Keep polishing your craft, keep creating!

There’s a good idea behind this track, and I appreciate the work that went into creating it. However, the overall energy and progression don’t quite connect with the kind of sound I want to maintain on my playlist. I’d suggest working on building a more engaging flow throughout the song so that it holds the listener’s attention from beginning to end. Keep developing your sound, and thanks for submitting your music for consideration.

Hi Stephen Orlando, the intense upbeat and catchy energy of this track caught my ear but unfortunately I felt like the quality of the mix and audio could be improved as it sounded very sibilant and sharp for my liking. I'm sorry to turn down your submission.

Hi there Stephen Orlando and thank you for sharing your music with me. I like the energy in there right from the start. The instrumental sounds great, the strings sound crisp and in good synergy with the drums. The vocals drop in at 18 seconds which is a bit too late for me though. I personally prefer the vocals right from the start, for audience retention. Not sure about those vocal effects either - a bit too much for me. All the best, R

Hi,   A confident vocal and good sounding groove in this one. Really well-made production. This song is however too upbeat and feels too energetic for the slow and mellow guitar vibe I am going for. Especially distorted guitars don't fit my playlist mood. Hope you will find the right playlists for this one! Cheers, Jens

Interesting introduction with a cool guitar riff. It reminds me of AC/DC. Nice vocals entering at 0:18. It is a very energetic production with a very fast tempo. However, this is too fast for my more laid-back indie folk playlist. I will pass this time, but I wish you good luck with your release.

Hey, I like the guitar work here. Big fan of the chorus too. The vocal delivery isn’t distinctive enough, in my opinion. Best wishes!

Hey thanks for the submission. I really enjoyed the groovy and uplifting atmosphere of this track. The vocal writing was quite smooth, but for me personally the vocal processing still felt a bit too thin with not enough present in the mix. Cheers! Hendrik

While I like the beat of the arrangement, I find the mix of the vocals a little too compressed as there wasn't enough variation in its dynamics. Sorry but I must decline this submission.

The track certainly has got a very nice energy to it and it has great production value. It's a solid track but there weren't many parts to it that are particularly ear-catching for me personally

despite having so much going on on here the song remains cohesive, vocals sound super effortless. it's a clever track but i have a rather hard time connecting with the catchier elements of the song, i'm sorry

Hi there, Fun live version in this one. Personally felt the recording was not great though. The vocal felt super harsh and really needs de-essing in the high end frequencies. Good luck! Jessa

I liked the pace of the track, the crisp mix and the varied elements. However, I was hoping for it to be a bit more pulled back and for the phrasing to develop a bit more. That said, I'll have to pass for now. Thank you for sharing your art. Wishing you all the best.

Hi there and thank you so much for sharing your awesome track "What The Hell" I've been enjoying the lively feel of this piece and it really makes me move along with the vibe. However, for my playlist, I'm aiming for a relaxing ones with a calmer instrumentation. So this one doesn't quite match the vibe I'm looking for. Anyway, I still appreciate your stuff here and keep it up!

Hey, Stephen Orlando! I just listened to What The Hell - Live Extended Version, which has an intense and infectious rhythm. Your vibrant vocals and the sound of the crowd add to that warm energy, while the instrumental brings a unique sense of power. However, this approach feels a bit too intense for us and moves away from the simpler, more relaxing chill atmosphere we're currently looking for. Still, it's great to discover such a creative piece of work! Don't forget to leave a positive rating for our team. Nage, Chill Connections

How are we doing today? awesome feel you've created here but l'm not digging the vocaIs here. definitely not bad! just not really my kinda thing, sorry. cheers

Hi Stephen! Thanks for your submission. This track has pretty interesting and hooky arrangement with a thoughtful moves and transitions. I liked playful guitar melody with emotional and bright vocals. However, I found this track a bit too expressive and too energetic for my melancholic and calming playlist. Thanks again and good luck with your project. I'm sure you'll find your audience soon. Please remember it's only my personal opinion.

Hola Stephen! Tu canción tiene una energía marcada y una interpretación en vivo que aporta carácter y personalidad, la versión extendida permite disfrutar más del desarrollo instrumental y de la atmósfera del tema. Los instrumentos son muy llamativos y logran complementarse muy bien entre sí. Sin embargo, considero que el cierre se escucha muy repetitivo y esto hace que se sienta muy extenso, asi que por este motivo no podre compartir tu cancion en esta playlist.

Hi! Some of the sounds you’ve chosen really stand out in the mix, and I like how they bring character to the beat. There’s a nice energy behind the production, and the vocals also have a strong presence that adds personality to the track! I feel the main challenge is how that vocal energy connects with the rhythm. While both elements have attractive qualities, they don’t always seem to complement each other enough to give the melody a stronger impact. At certain moments, the voice follows its own direction without taking full advantage of what the beat is offering. That disconnect made it difficult for me to fully engage with the song, which is why I couldn’t approve it for the playlist this time. Something that could help is giving more attention to the relationship between the vocal phrases and the strongest rhythmic moments. I think maybe allowing certain lines to land more naturally with the beat, while leaving occasional spaces for the beat to respond, could create a more organic interaction. I think that would also make the song easier for new listeners to follow and connect with, while giving both elements more room to shine. Of course, this is only a suggestion here, and I hope you find something valuable in the feedback! There’s an interesting musical personality here, and I’d love to see it develop further. Thank you for sharing your work, and I wish you all the best with your release and future projects!

“What The Hell - Live Extended Version” brings strong energy, with engaging country melodies, guitars, strings, and drums that give the arrangement a consistent and lively feel. However, we found the production texture quite synthetic, particularly in the vocals. We currently favor a more natural and organic presence in our selections, so we'll have to pass this time. Thank you for sharing your music with us! For Stephen Orlando, wishing you continued inspiration, creativity and success as you share your music with the world. Cheers, L.

Hey Stephen, thanks for sending your track What The Hell our way. We really enjoyed the track's energy but we feel it sounds a bit formulaic in its structure. We will sadly have to pass on. Keep making more music.
