| COMMENTS ON EMOTIONAL IMPACT |
I'll jump straight into the question - is it commercial and radio friendly enough? Believe me, a book could be written on what is commercial, why, and how to make it. But in short: I found it not commercial enough for a "major" sound; and on the other hand, not Indie enough for an "Independent" sound. The Verse is more memorable than the Chorus (and I could keep praising you here - you really deserve the compliments for your musicianship). But you should work on the Chorus. It needs that little extra attention from you.

| COMMENTS ON TECHNICAL EVALUATION: |
The songwriting and Arrangement show good creativity and musicianship. The track is well elaborated dynamically and you deserve a "thumbs up" for that. The performance is excellent too - you don't have to worry about that - it is a major one. The chorus only lacks as a suitable hook to make the song memorable.

| COMMENTS ON MARKETABILITY:
|
| It’s hard to say how to improve it. You just need a stronger Chorus. I mean, a stronger melody in the Chorus! It’s a subtle dilemma, but an important one. |
