Pro General Comments: This is good stuff. A great lyric, hooky melody - and, as usual, ridiculously good vocal performance. And a master quality recording. The only thing I don't like here is the Arabian-inspired ending, it seems to take it out of the modern pop feel it's in, and it's a bit late to introduce such a unique element in my opinion. Once again, this feels like radio pop - though leaning heavily on the British side, the Robbie Williams, One Direction kind of writing and production. The lyric is complex, but not too confusing, and it's the kind of hook writing that you see more often in Nashville than in LA/London. Really strong showing, you should be pitching this to pop artists whenever you can. Keep writing them at this level for sure. Your vocal is so compelling that you could sing the phone book, as they say, but I see it as a huge asset as you try to get songs cut by other artists. Your voice is that likeable. I still think it's worth focusing on what you love to write and trying it as an artist because of the strength of your singing. Are you writing and producing all of these songs yourself? How can I be most useful to you? Knowing more about your goals and plans will help me tailor these reviews to better guide you. You've got the goods, you've just got to mold things in to the direction you most desire, rather than doing so many things!
Quote From Pro: Radio-friendly pop song about love found and lost, so hooky you'll think of it ever time the wind blows.
