In My Blue Mind

Hello John, Good effort and the quality is there, but i feel the beat overpower the vocal delivery though, your style is interesting. I am really amazed about this track but unfortunately, the bpm seems higher than the subsequent and the energy set for this playlist doesn't match. All the best!

Really sorry for passing on this track for now. The vocal performance felt a little bit robotic and the song's mix feels a little grainy with some digital artifacts.

Hey John, thanks for sharing your music and the idea behind it! I like the Blue Mind concept and how you’ve translated that peaceful, meditative feeling into a dreamy house track. The soft vocals add a soothing touch, and the overall atmosphere is lovely. For my house playlist, though, I focus on instrumental music with a stronger alternative electronic edge, organic textures and memorable melodic ideas. This one feels more vocal-led and song-oriented, so it’s not quite the right fit. I appreciate you sending it over and wish you all the best with the release! Kind regards, Domas

Hi John Michael Fay. Really good track. I love the rhythmic synth pluck you have. I think it really keeps the groove going whenever it's there but it's just a nice texture in general. However, I felt like the mix can still be improved. It has this slightly muffled sound to me right now and I feel like it feel a little more open just so that the track has this grander and more freeing feeling. Great work, sorry for the decline.

Yo John, thanks for the submission. I am loving the groove of your song a lot, with a very bouncy and dense sound on the drums. I think the approach for the dreamy synths and gentle vocals were so cool. Unfortunately in my opinion, they were both still missing a bit more warmth and presence in the soundscape, just to really let them shine. Much further success! Hendrik

Hey there, John - thanks for the submission. I thought your track had a really warm, spacious sound. It bounces along nicely and has a mellow, relaxing vibe. I wanted a bit more expression in the vocal though - it doesn't really stand out as being particularly characterful to me. Melodically, the song is fine - there are some nice moments - but I always look for tracks that do something different - that are surprising, unique or memorable. So while your track is put together well, it felt a bit too safe to me and didn't make me want to hit replay, so I'm going to pass I'm afraid. Good luck with it

I can’t take on this track right now because I feel the vocals could use a bit more processing. Still, thank you for sharing it with me. I still really enjoyed the groove of the track. Wishing you all the best!

I liked the tight production and the bright mood the arrangement gave. However, it strayed a bit from the mood of my current selection that leans more towards Jazz Hop/Study Beats. Unfortunately, I'll have to pass for now. Thank you for sharing your art. All the best.

Hey, Nice sounding bass in this one. Soothing vocals but not close to our taste. This one is too upbeat for our lofi and chill list. We like slow paced beats and less attention on vocals. Good luck! Jessa

Hey, I liked the synth melody. Reminded me of trilucid his music. All the humming and vocalizing is too commercial for my list though. i prefer mainly focus on the synths. Just my personal preference of course. Totally fine if this was the vibe you were going for. Good luck with your release! Jens

Hi, this is a relaxing track with pleasing harmony. However the sound quality didn't convince me enough. Besides that, I'm looking for more inventive tracks that stand out. Thanks for your submission, and best of luck with the release!

Hey there! We really enjoy that lead layering, warm beat groove and cool voice sync along in your track. However the tone of singing feels a bit too sweet & kinda romantic, sugary for our taste, which doesn't fit quite nice among other tracks with deeper & introspective tone of vocal presence along that we prefer in our 'morning deep house' or 'deep house for sleep' playlists to be honest. And your track feels a bit romantic for much deeper & faster emotional side of our "deep & melodic electronic" playlist that we curate, 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!

Hi there John Michael Fay, I appreciate the soothing vocals in this arrangement. However, I will decline because the monotonous groove didn’t align with me. I’m aiming for tracks that have a powerful drum mix and intense build up for my house playlist. Best wishes!

What I really love and what I really like about this production is the vocal tone, how it's very tender and very present in the mix in a warm and beautiful way regarding the male and the female voice. But then when the beat comes in, it just sounds too monotone and repetitive for my playlist and for my taste. I still really like the lyrics, the emotional content, the message and the songwriting in general. Setting that persistence, please keep creating, Dominik

Very nice synths and effects throughout. I like the track's smooth groove a lot. However due to my own musical taste I would've liked for the track's structure to have more dynamics to it

Hello Jhon Micheal Fay thank you for sharing this track. The sound is really nice and warm. The stab synth is catchy. I enjiyes listening. Unfortunately the vucals are a bit too mellow for my personal taste in this case. I kindly pass on this one and I wish you all the best with it. Simone

Hello, John Michael Fay, how are you? In In My Blue Mind, the atmosphere is all about partying, bringing a contagious and modern electronic sound, but it ended up not fitting the style of our playlists, which focuses on a simpler and more intimate atmosphere. Even so, congratulations on the track, and don't forget to leave a positive rating for our review. Nage, Chill Connections

Superb track . In love with the vocals , emotions and the vibes . The overall mood and style suits us well . But the overall synths and melodies could be more appealing . Good luck! it's not a perfect addition .

Hi there thank you for sharing some of your tunes my way. Nice drums you have here a very functional groove with still enough variation to keep you listening to the song with interest. Unfortunately I do feel like the voice is a little less up my alley sadly but that might be me though. Besides that some creative elements in play. Kind regards , Jelle

Hey John Michael Fay, While I can absolutely appreciate your hybrid artistry here, I would have preferred a submission with one overall genre. For example, this song blends clear EDM sound design, with indie pop vocals, making it fall somewhere between a couple of playlists - ultimately not being a great fit for either one. If you submit to us again in the future, what would make a great playlist fit would be either EDM without singing, or pop without EDM sound design. Still I think this track is well recorded and well produced, so consider submitting again in the future!

The song feels like a throwback of 2010s and it's got a catchy melody indeed. However, the song's noticeably granular, audio quality-wise, and it pulls away from the established feel of my set, so I'll be leaving this one out for now.

I'm honored to provide my insights regarding your song. The drum one shots you've used here were quite punchy. It really drives the song forward. That said, the song's vocal mix had a little bit of grain or coarseness that it sets a different listening experience outside the scope of my playlist. Sorry for declining at the moment.
