Alma Mater

Good afternoon. this has a cool air, a very interesting world you've created on this. impressive arrangement. incredible how you capture such a broad array of emotions in just a few minutes. really like the artwork too. but l'm not digging the Iyrics here. definitely not bad! just not vibing with them. generally we are just after a bit more sad/ angry/ angsty vibes to the lyrics. this is just a little bit upbeat for us. really nice track though, cheers

Hello, Rob Lamp, how are you doing? Thank you for trusting us with your song "Alma Mater." We truly enjoyed the beautiful quality of your voice, delivering such a smooth and wonderfully balanced intonation. The harmony is especially captivating when the song hits its peak around the 0:58 mark, showcasing a beautifully dynamic composition. However, as the track progresses, the prominent drums and guitars elevate the arrangement into a more energetic space. This vibrant direction gently steps away from the softer, acoustic percussion and calm atmosphere we are currently looking for across our playlists. Because of this, we unfortunately have to decline your track at this time. We 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 we hope our paths cross again. L.S.

Hey Rob, You have a nice vocal color to listen to. The distorted guitars and bombastic drums are too heavy for us though. We focus on more chill and slow songs to fit the mood. Have a lovely day! Jessa

Hi! Thanks for sending this lovely tune! I really like your warm, nostalgic sound and the lyrics of the tune but for my playlists I focus on a bit darker tone and mood. I will listen to more tracks from you to find a track that will fit better. Keep it up!

Hi there Rob Lamp, There's certainly a lot of things to like about this track. For example, I think it's nicely produced, though admittedly there's quite a lot of reverb gluing the track together. And I like your vocal style, but I find that I can't latch onto any Melody or hook that grips me. What I think you do well is create a lovely guitar ambience throughout the song, but one of the most defining aspects of a good Pop/Rock track would be a strong hook or riff, which is somewhat missing here. Lastly, this track is a bit too slow for both my pop and rock playlist preferences. So essentially, if you have any song in your arsenal, which is more up-tempo, and features a stronger hook or instrumental riff, I'd be very interested in hearing that one in the future to be a closer consideration for placement with us. Take care!

Hi there! I quite enjoyed the tone of the drums as it blends really well with the rest of the instruments. But I will be passing for now as I felt that the vocal delivery lacked some dynamics and expressiveness for me. Sorry!

Thanks for sharing your music. The build up from the verses leading up to the chorus was really satisfying. However, considering the song's production, I felt that the song was a bit too country coded, and it sets a different listening experience than what I'm trying to build in my playlist. Sorry for declining at the moment.

Hi Rob Lamp! Thanks for sharing your song. I really enjoyed the guitar and vocals—they work well together and keep the song engaging from beginning to end. The arrangement feels natural and gives the track a nice sense of flow. This time, though, I was looking for a melody that would leave a stronger impression after the first listen. It's a solid piece of work, and I'd be happy to hear more of your music in the future.

Hey there , wonderful track . Loved the soothing vibes and the vocals . The instrumental also sounds amazing . But for my playlist, I prefer a bit more light and jolly mood , Dusty Springfield style . Good luck! eager to hear more from you.
