Very calming and majestic mood at the beginning. I like the progression/build-up at around the 1-minute mark. The drop is cathartic and not too heavy, and also has some really fun rhythmic elements. The mix is super loud and crisp and clean as always. I also really like the reverb-heavy beat at 2:45. That section functions really well as a breakdown. I really like when your song's two refrain sections are so well-varied, yet the song maintains a lot of its coherence through the chord structure and instrumentation. That's worked well for you in the past (e.x., Volt), and it works well here too. Those emotional piano outros get me every time. :') If I had to criticize one thing, it might be that your style has become a tad formulaic. Your tracks tend to have a very similar progression and sound design. That said, taken by itself this is another killer track. Keep up the good work, Lockyn! ^^
Reviews for "Spirit of the Lilies"
Thank you for the feedback as always TL. I agree with you - I try to shake things up, but this track definitely falls back on some of my usual patterns. Hope you enjoyed regardless. :)
Wow, this track is incredible!
Thank you so much larry!
Absolutely amazing. If only collaborations were nice enough to your schedule...
There is a little issue I have with it (but it doesn't affect my rating here); the build-up to the first drop take a while longer than most tracks should. It doesn't make Spirit of the Lilies any worse, it just takes a bit more patience to get to the best part. :P
You're awesome! :D
Thank you so much for the love and feedback <3 maybe collabs will work out in the future :(
This is a masterpiece! Love the amazing synths in the drops and the piano is pretty neat as well. Good job on this Lockyn. :D
A perfect melody and a perfect bassline is a perfect song, and this is an example. Tbh this equals your song Volt. (Volt is a totally amazing song too!) Good job!
