Feels Like Home

It was interesting to discover "Feels Like Home", Hillbilly Rockstarz. The track has a dynamic progression, with shifts in intensity that keep the music moving. In contrast, the heavier reverb creates a more spacious vocal sound, setting it apart from the instrumental elements. Combined with the more hesitant and inconsistent vocal delivery, this gives the track a more synthetic character, moving it away from the sound identity we're currently prioritizing. Thank you for submitting your music to our curation team. We appreciated the chance to discover your release.

Thank you for your submission. I enjoyed the steel slide. The tone was really nice. I like your vocal, and overall the production is solid. Although I can see the strength in this song, for myself the main melody didn't resonate enough with me. That is just a subjective opinion and nothing more. I wish you all the very best. Thanks again.

Hi there! Thanks for your submission. I think this track has an amazing guitar section with emotional and hooky solo. Really nice performance. There is also balanced drums and rhythm section as well. I liked production quality. However, this track sounds a bit too dynamic and too expressive for my melancholic and dreamy 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.

Hi there! Great track. Really liked the vocals , catchy instrumental and the country vibes . However , at the moment I am looking for a bit more light and jolly stuff , Alt-J style . Rest ,the track has got some real good potential. Good luck! keep creating.

Hey there, I really like the singing, and the good organic feel to the guitars, the neutral and natural singing style, and of course the lyrics of freedom are always good. I'd give it a spot, but I'm afraid I'd have liked to hear a bit more unusual or unexpected instrumentation or sonic elements for the genre, to take it for the playlists I have running currently. That said, it's still excellent, no doubts there. Best to you!

Thanks for your submission, Scott. I love the slide guitars in the introduction and the very bluesy vibe of them. Cool vocals entering at 0:09. However, something that I don't like is that there is a steady kick drum on each beat, which after a while feels too heave to me. This is the reason why I am passing. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Hello there and thank you for sharing your msuci! A nice and clean production, the instrumental sounds crisp clean. The vocals also drop in at good timing for audience retention, well done! I like your natural vocals but the pace of the song is a bit too slow for me. I personally prefer a bit more power and energy right from the start, for audience retention reasons as well. This is just my personal opinion of course. All the best, R

Notamos que sua música fala sobre os sentimentos de estar em lar, ou seja, em casa. Uma passagem de progressão de acorde e de acompanhamento bem consistente traz uma calmaria. Sua voz segue afinado humano e sincronia no andamento musical. Um ponto que eu gostei foi que a cada primeiro pulso por compasso no guitarra cria um preenchimento sonoro aos acordes. Ótima virada de bateria, mantendo sua música dinâmica. Ah, e esse solo de guitarra foi uma técnica bem expressiva. Entretanto, a qualidade técnica foi Ótimo trabalho! Eu vejo que ainda pode acrescentar um instrumento como por exemplo violino, após sua voz principal terminar de cantar [Referente ao trecho refrão e final da sua música]. De resto, está tudo certo. Por questões de seletividade, asseguramos manter playlists com qualidade de curadoria.

Hey thanks for the submission. I really liked the nostalgic and laid back vibe of "Feels Like Home" a lot. The drums were steady, and the guitar chords created a very warm feel. I think the vocals had a lot of smooth and very intimate sounding lines, but overall I think the emotions could have still been coming through even a bit more. I wish you a lot of success! Cheers, Hendrik

Thanks for submitting your track for consideration, Scott. While it’s well produced, the lyrics seemed overly simplistic to me and the musical arrangement somewhat generic. Just my opinion, of course, and other curators may see it differently but it's not a fit for my playlist. I wish you the best with the release.

Dear HILLBILLY ROCKSRARZ, Thank you for the chance to hear something through your ears! I love the style and the overall folk-inspired vibe of the track — it feels warm and authentic. Your emotional vocal delivery works beautifully with the arrangement, and the guitar additions are a wonderful touch that give the song extra depth and character. The melody complements the vocals very well without overcrowding it, which allows the emotional delivery to shine through. That said, unfortunately, the track doesn’t quite fit the specific mood I’m curating for my playlist. I’m currently looking for songs with a more emotionally somber or melancholic atmosphere. I truly appreciate the artistry here, and I’m sorry it’s not the right match for this particular list. Wishing you the best with the release — this song definitely deserves to find the right audience! Kindly, Anastazja

Hola. Desde el principio —con sonidos sostenidos, un trabajo de guitarra sólido y un bajo profundo de base—, el tema presenta una marcada melodía country. La voz es grave y ligeramente rasgada, pero se mantiene siempre en una afinación excelente. La canción incluye un hábil punteo de guitarra, una batería que marca el ritmo con eficacia y una línea de bajo que permanece claramente presente de principio a fin. El estribillo está bien definido y encaja a la perfección en la estructura general de la canción. El estribillo reaparece —integrado de forma ingeniosa— con un ligero aumento de intensidad, aunque el nivel de energía general del tema se mantiene constante de principio a fin. La instrumentación tiene mucho peso; cobra protagonismo siempre que la voz desaparece, especialmente a través de pasajes de guitarra muy bien ejecutados. Si bien tanto la interpretación como la producción son de gran calidad, no incluiremos este tema, ya que actualmente buscamos un sonido más crudo y áspero; no obstante, valoramos mucho todas las virtudes mencionadas anteriormente. ¡Saludos cordiales!

This song is very simple, and strives on a nice guitar riff paired with some simple vocals. For me, it is not quite the fit for any of my playlists, as I usually look for more upbeat tracks.

Hey there! To start with, I really dig that adventurous storytelling of yours. Percussion complements it perfectly. Straightforward kick drum: all it takes to make audience headbang. Lovely minimalism. Unfortunately, the vocal parts did not resonate enough with me. I'm really sorry. Your music is a wonderful piece of art - thank you for the submission!

Hello, Hillbilly Rockstarz! Thank you for submitting your track “Feels Like Home”. The melody has an interesting and well-developed structure, contributing to the track’s identity and maintaining a consistent musical direction throughout. However, we noticed strong retro influences in the production, particularly in the drum and guitar sounds. Additionally, the track has a longer duration than what we typically seek for our playlists. For these reasons, unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with the track’s approval. Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you continued success in your musical journey!

Nice guitar tones and licks. Solid vocals as well. A bit more of a folky country delivery than the modern indie I'm curating. Thanks!

Hola! Es una canción que transmite mucha calidez y emoción, con una letra que rinde homenaje a la familia y a ese sentimiento de pertenencia que nos conecta con nuestras raíces. Me gusta especialmente el mensaje que transmite: la música, los recuerdos y el apoyo de las personas que queremos pueden convertirse en ese lugar al que siempre deseamos regresar. Sin embargo, considero que el cierre podría haber sido más impactante o con algún giro inesperado, lo que podría haber agregado más emoción y profundidad a la canción, asi que por este motivo no podre en esta oportunidad compartir tu cancion. Saludos

There’s a nice atmosphere to this track, but the seasonal feel makes it a little too specific for my playlist. I’m looking for something with a more timeless sound, so I’ll pass for now. Wishing you the best with your music and future releases :)

Good morning. everything about this is very very well done, and I really appreciate that. it's very nice to hear something like this. so well done. however, I am just personally not connecting with the lyrical storyline that you have crafted. nothing wrong with the lyrics- I just do not find them to be landing for me right now. really you have done a great job on it though. I am excited for the next one, thanks for sending. cheers

Thank you for sharing your track. I really appreciate the effort and creativity behind it, especially the overall presentation. However, the arrangement feels a little too predictable, and I was hoping for more variation to keep the listening experience engaging. Keep working on your sound because there is definitely potential here. Wishing you more success with your music.
