Title: [Music] Brightnight
Post by: Malson on November 18, 2014, 12:37:32 AM

This is the first in an upcoming solo electronic album, a spiritual successor to Replay Value. My goal here was to make a tightly constructed pop song that I would be proud of. The rest of the album is probably going to be a lot less radio-friendly than this.

Thanks for listening!

This is put together really well and your production is nice. Everything is balanced and clear. I really like the electric piano (?) sample you're using - the instrument playing the chords from the very beginning. I think you chose all the synths and effects well, too.

As far as critiquing, I personally don't like the effect on the voice, but I imagine that you wouldn't expect everyone to anyway. And it doesn't detract enough from the song to make it unenjoyable, so it could probably just be something that one could get used to over time. Compositoinally speaking, at about 3:10 - 3:12 you have the drums, bass, and vocals and then there's some sort of effect in the back that comes in before you transition back into the chorus. I feel like that effect is too quiet. I'm not sure of your intention, but I would personally use that effect (and maybe more) to build into the chorus. That's more personal preference, though, and you may be going for something different. The way you have it, it does work; I'm just offering my thoughts on that particular section.

Anyway, nice work!
