The One

Hello. Thank you for your submission. Unfortunately, I didn't really connect with the melody and vocals of the track, I was also looking for a stronger hook that would anchor the track in playlist listening and encourage repeated plays. So, this one sits outside the direction I'm curating my playlist. Thanks again for sharing your music, and best of luck with the release.

Hi, I like the orchestra sound combined with the dance style. The vocals are chill and fits the song well. However I feel like the mixing still has some work to be done. The track sounds too compressed in my opinion. It lacks some clarity in the high-end, especially in the percussion. Therefore I won't give it a share. Hope you understand the feedback. Keep it up and all the best!

Hey there! We enjoy that voice sync along with emotional traditional instruments. However your song feels way too epic and emotional for darker and instrumental side of our "emotional piano" playlist. And we usually place more introspective and synthy based tracks in our mainstream festival playlists like `creamfields 2026` one. And your song feels a bit too uplifting and positive, which doesn't fit deeper and engaging side of our 'deep melodic pop' one that we curate, sorry 🙏

Hey thanks for sharing, powerful and resonant vocal, really enjoyed song development as well.. Overall production is pretty solid. That said not as high energy as we prefer. Very sorry to pass and to be clear an accomplished track. Hope to hear more. Best of luck with the release

Hey there, first off I like the different sections and how different they can be but still fit together. The lyrical idea is well thought out, and the production quality is also top notch, all the elements sound good and in relative balance to each other. I'd give it a spot, but I'd honestly have liked to hear perhaps an unusual acoustic addition to the mixdown, maybe in the form of ear candy or atmosphere, but not necessarily only those. Nevertheless, it's still solid work for real, genuinely good stuff. Best to you!

Hey hey, thanks so much for your submission. Unfortunately, we're not interested in SUNO AI Slop music. Still, I wish you the best of luck with the song.

Hey Stephen. Thank you for sending the track! The idea is really solid. Nice sound selection and mixing of elements. The vocal is well processed. The track has quality. However due to my editorial line I am looking for a more organic and electronic vibe that I could not find in here so thanks for understanding and best ofluck with promo!

The song sounds cool - I really like the transition to the chorus and the interlude. The dynamic buildup towards the end is crazily good and very epic. I also really like the vocal tone, the string work, and the orchestral work in general. I also like the classic influences. But for my playlist, the beat then coming in makes the song sound a bit too mundane. The beat sounds a bit monotone, and in general I miss a bit less foreseeable chords in the chord progression and more surprising musical elements. Still a solid song and good songwriting. Best wishes, Dominik

Hey, this song has vocals that certainly sound convincing, but the overall mix/mastering needs work, because it isn't crisp enough, in my opinion. That's why I'm declining. Cheers!

La canción no está mal en cuanto a producción pero las voces no me consiguen enganchar del todo. Me ha faltado algo para que las voces me consigan enamorar del todo

Hello there! Thanks for your submission. This song has awesome retro sound style with dramatic and powerful vocals. I liked intro part with sentimental and melancholic piano melody progression. But this section seemed a bit opposite to dynamic chorus part. It has some dissonance for my taste. Thanks again and good luck with your project. I'm more than sure you'll find your audience soon. Please remember it's only my personal opinion.

Hey there Stephen Orlando, I think the most memorable part of this song is your melody, especially as you ramp up toward the chorus. However there are some other significant concerns that I'm having. For a pop sub, I'm looking for a strong acoustic performance overall - leaning into acoustic guitars and drums, while keeping the vocals clean and clear throughout. This track might have some of these acoustic elements, but I think in this case there is just a little too much of an electro pop sound design, as well as a significantly processed vocal track. Personally, I'm looking for clean and unprocessed vocals, whereas I'm hearing a lot of pitch correction, reverb, and who knows what other plug-in. If I can detect that you're using a plug-in, it usually takes me out of the moment, and that that's what happens here. On future pop subs, if you have any other tracks in your repertoire that feature clean and unprocessed vocals, as well as more of a mixture of acoustic and synthetic instruments rather than just synthetic, I would love to hear that one to be a better match with us. For the music -VH

I appreciate the effort and creativity that went into this track. The production has some interesting elements, and there's a clear sense of artistic expression. However, the overall sound, arrangement, and tonal balance don't quite connect with the direction and atmosphere I'm building with my playlist. I also feel the track could benefit from a little more refinement in its overall flow and progression. It's a solid effort, but I don't think it's the right fit for my current selection. Keep creating and developing your sound.

Your song creates an engaging atmosphere, supported by high-quality production and a performance that blends depth with a beautifully calm energy. However, I feel the melodic approach doesn't quite deliver the level of dynamism I'm currently looking for in my playlist. At this stage, I'm prioritizing tracks with a stronger rhythmic presence, more movement, and an energy that creates a more powerful impact on the listener.

Hola. La canción comienza de una forma sumamente suave y melódica, con un piano de fondo y una voz profunda y delicada; más adelante, se incorporan unos violines pausados ​​que surgen desde un segundo plano y van ganando intensidad a la par de la voz. El carácter romántico se acentúa aún más, respaldado por una rica textura sonora de fondo y un violín protagonista que sigue un ritmo de inspiración «techno», lo cual marca un cambio notable en el tempo del tema y lo transforma, pasando de ser una pieza para una escucha pasiva a una propuesta apta para el baile. Su versatilidad resulta sorprendente; la inclusión de una guitarra acústica y otros instrumentos de cuerda enriquece todavía más la composición. La estructura se repite en varias ocasiones, manteniendo en todo momento un aire de melancolía y una melodía armoniosa. Es un tema con una buena producción —aunque, en este caso, buscábamos algo con un sonido más alternativo—, pero, aun así, se trata de una melodía excelente. ¡Saludos cordiales!

the song has a nice traditional Adult Contemporary vibe and sound but that is not a style I need for the lists I am doing now. What you are doing is valid and I like that the structure is so strong- the story is great too just not as modern nor does it include the kind of live instrumentation sound that would also help SELL the song - in the choruses

The Chosen has a pretty introspective and melancholic start; it doesn't seem to work with the bright and more upbeat vibe that I usually cover on the playlist. Its nostalgic atmosphere and reflective lyrics drift too far from the danceable focus I prioritize from the beginning. This time, the final result is quite versatile, but I don't think it works, since I prioritize more cohesion and balance. After a few minutes, it becomes catchy and repetitive, which is why it differs a lot from my taste, where I look for happy and danceable songs from start to finish. I also focus on an authentic and genuine production. This time, it felt artificial and lacking polish, especially in its sound.

Hi! Thanks for sharing your soulful track! The vocals are beautiful—I really like the timbre of the voice and the emotive delivery! The chorus is full of feeling and comes across very vividly. In the second part of the track, the strings add a striking accent. That said, I don’t feel it’s quite the right fit for my playlist in terms of the overall vibe. Your track would be a perfect addition to a playlist featuring romantic music.

Hi there thank you for sharing some of your tunes my way. Nice drums you have here , an energetic drive that does not overpower the song. The character of the voice is a little less up my alley sadly but that might be me though. Besides that some creative elements for sure! Kind regards , Jelle

Thanks for sending this over! I appreciated the emotional production and orchestral touches in “The One”, it has a thoughtful, cinematic feel that stands out. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite fit the current direction or vibe that I'm looking for, I seek tracks with more groove and complexity in the drum and percussion layers also the vocal leaned a little too far towards the commercial angle for my taste. We’re prioritizing tracks with a slightly different energy and sound at the moment, so I’ll have to pass on this one. Wishing you the best with the release

Hey, Thx for sending your song. I think there is too much stuff going on... too many variations in sound and style. Once the beat came it I started to dislike it

Hello Stephan Orlando thank you for sharing this track. The production has a really high quality. All the elements are well shaped in the mix and I think the track is really direct in the arrangement with a catchy structure. Strong low end and sharp design That said I am not really convinced by the vucals in this case. I feel them a bit contrasting with the rest of the track especially in their melodic progression I feel them a bit retro and too pop for my taste. Maybe a more aerial design in them could benefit. But of course is just my personal taste. Is a good track and I wish you all the best with this one. Simone

Listening to The One gave me an interesting look into your musical approach, and it was a pleasure to hear your concept unfold. The direction has promise, but the composition follows somewhat predictable patterns, giving it a slightly generic quality overall. On top of that, the mix comes across a bit flat and missing dynamic spark, which softens the impact needed for my playlist. Without that extra presence and vitality in the sound balance, it struggles to sit right in our lineup. You clearly put care into developing this piece.

Hey Stephen thanks for sharing! Loving the lyrics and the production but sadly I wasn't a huge fan of the vocal performance and it sounded a bit too robotic and over processed. Sorry!

Hey there! Unfortunately, your song sounds too plastic and artificial to me. Especially the vocals. Sorry, but that's not for me. Thank you for the submission!

Hey there , great one . Admire the inspiring lyrics and the catchy instrumental .The vocals are nice too . But for our playlist , we prefer a bit more shorter radio friendly arrangement . Good luck! keen to hear more from you. Will have to skip this one .

Hi there! Great track. Really liked the vocals , emotions and melodies . However , for my chill electronic playlist , I prefer a bit more mellow stuff , Ben Bohmer style . Rest ,the track has got some real good potential. Good luck! can't wait to hear more tracks from you.

the track def has great production value and i dig the high energy, however melody wise the song didn't grab my attention very much though that's because of my own musical taste of cos

Loved the vocal delivery in the tune. The arrangement worked well but I felt the sound design needed a bit more work.

Hello! Thank you for this song. The vocal line is melodic, emotional and powerful at the same time. The attractive music accentuates the vocals nicely and gives the song special feelings and emotions. I like listening to this song. I appreciate your work. But unfortunately, it's not exactly what I'm looking for in my pop playlist. Sorry. I believe that your song will find its fans. Good luck with the promotion!

Hi there Stephen Orlando, I can that say I’m quite drawn to lively groove and the string section gives out an emotional atmosphere. However, I’m bummed to inform you that the underwhelmed drum mix didn’t align with the powerful drum mix that I’m aiming for in my playlist. Based on this reason, I will decline for now. Best wishes!

Hii, Stephen Orlando, how are you doing? Thank you for trusting us with your song "The One." I really enjoyed the energetic, cinematic feel that builds up so beautifully during the choruses. Your voice brings a comforting warmth to the performance, guiding the listener with genuine emotion. However, as the song opens up around the 01:16, 02:27, and 03:30 marks, the sonic atmosphere feels a bit different. The background resonance carries a sharper edge, creating a slightly processed feel that gently pulls away from the natural, organic warmth we are hoping to share on our playlists right now. Because of this, we unfortunately have to decline your track at this time. I hope to cross paths with you here again somewhere down the road. If possible, please consider leaving us a review on the platform and letting us know if this feedback was helpful in any way, your opinion means the world to us. Wishing you great success in your music career, and I hope our paths cross again.

me agrada mucho el desarrollo lirical, el artista tiene un voz calida que combina bien con el mood de la mezcla, pero siento que la calidad de la produccion vocal podria mejorar para lograr un sonido mas estandarizado, saludos

Thank you for sharing your music. I appreciate the creativity and the thought behind the production. However, the song could use a more engaging hook to give it a stronger identity and make it more memorable. Keep working on your songwriting and experimenting with new ideas. You're making progress, and I wish you the best moving forward.

Hello, The One and Stephen Orlando! All right? Thank you for sharing your track with us. The song presents an authentic vocal identity, with good imposition and presence in the interpretation, bringing personality to the composition. We like the way the voice stands out and contributes to the construction of the proposal, demonstrating expressiveness. However, when we analyze the alignment with the current direction of our curation, we perceive a more immersive and festive sound, with an energy quite focused on the world of nightclubs and dance floors. This approach leads the track into a more intense and expansive atmosphere, moving away from the sonic line we are prioritizing at this time, with a greater focus on flows, groove and a more intimate dynamic. Thank you for sharing your work with us and we wish you much success in your musical journey!
