I like the car sound effects and chill eastern-sounding instrument at the beginning. The vocals are nice, too. The bass and kick at :25 sound a little over-saturated in the mix, although the vocals are really smooth and well-articulated. The recording quality is strong, too. I would’ve liked to hear more variation in the instrumental track, though. The texture is pretty stagnant over time, perhaps with the exception of the more legato approach to the vocals at 1:29. I think the piece needs more structuring and shape in the composition. It would’ve been nice if you broke down the drum beat and eastern instrument riffs at some point and had some more atmospheric/melodic content. I’d also like to see a translation of the lyrics. Overall, though, the production quality is strong, the mood is fun, and the rhythmic content is catchy. Keep at it, Galicross!
