Nice Song

I like what I hear in this. I like the arrangement. I have never heard of the genre of Emo but I am being introduced to it through your music. I think this is a very good piece. The arrangement is good and every part of it has a flow. So definitely keep doing what you're doing man. I look forward to hearing more music from you in the future because you definitely have potential. Keep it up!

Nice tone

Like to sound tone. You make good use of those very long reverb tails. Vocal looses me a bit in the effect, and the vocal timing can be a little tighter. The vocal treat is cool too. You've got the 'wall of sound treatment going on which can work very well when done right. Not a bad job. All the best with the track.

One of the things I enjoy most about Number One Music artists is the newfound ability to hear music from around the world by singers who I'd never have the chance to listen to otherwise. That, in itself, is a great thing. Here, with this song the interesting vocal effects from muffled to crystal clear is an approach that guides the listener on a journey with Wholesome. The pain and suffering in his voice of lost love and yearning is powerful.

Is There a Choice?

"Not a Choice" dives straight into the heart of emotional turmoil with its monotone delivery. While the vocals themselves may not be remarkable, they perfectly suit the song's message of despair and exhaustion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a broken relationship and a custody battle. Lines like "Did what they asked BUT still wasnt shit" and "Each an everyday without him im losing myself" effectively convey the protagonist's sense of powerlessness and frustration. The song is undeniably emo, it avoids melodrama. The raw delivery and simple lyrics feel authentic, allowing the listener to connect with the protagonist's pain. Here are some additional points to consider: * The "doomsday clock" metaphor in the second verse adds a layer of urgency and hopelessness. * The line "Tells me I cant know where he lives / Although every paper say I can" raises a question about the fairness of the situation. * The song ends with a plea to God, a final grasp at finding some kind of solace or intervention.

A Storyteller with unique vocal timing pours his heart out

This amateur writes his review while listening. I would get rid of the filtered effect on the guitar in the beginning. Although it's original, it immediately does something unwanted to my ears and feel. Your vocal timing is unique, but when it's getting distracting, it's taking the attention of the song. The strong aspect is, you are telling your story. But all the fx and the timing of the vocal keep me away from the story you tell (hey, I'm a 57 years old dutch amateur...my old skool opinion is relative). I know the Bee Gees put many words exactly with the right timing in a song...listen to "This is where I came in" . Enjoy the music, use a favorite reference track to compare and stick to what feel good to you...but put it in perspective...
