That's an amazing challenge I should also take up, 30 minutes is such a short time!.

You did amazing!

Hey! your track completely bangs, it's really, really good, that part at 01:09 is super super good, I think you did a fantastic job with it.

Mixing wise you're in there man, I don't see anything to complain (I'm not a technical guy in this regard so this type of feedback is better left for other judges).

Compositionally I have something against songs that have a lot of buildup, it's not that it's bad in itself, it's just that if there's so much buildup for something, it has to pay off, because you're hyping the audience so much for something, and if the landing isn't struck then it's a big "eh", that said, 01:09 you managed it pretty well but on 02:42, I don't feel like it quite lands right, it's very empty and shallow, it also ends very abruptly.

Like I said before, too many buildups ruin something for me, the structure of this being intro-verse-buildup-chorus1-breakdown(Which I'd love to see expanded)-buildup-chorus2, it's like the story you're trying to tell with the song gets interrupted mid way to hype up the next chorus, think like a rollercoaster ride that hits the first high so well only to slow down completely and rise you up again to another, smaller slope, it's just not gonna hit the same as if the big slope was at the end, I don't know if this analogy works but that's what I kind of imagine it as.

Thank you so much for the review! Time is not on my side this year, I had only began working on the 2nd drop with less than 8 hours left at 4am (before sleeping and waking up after I could make any final changes) so I can understand it being incredibly underwhelming, haha. I'll take note of your feedback, and once again, thanks!

Your song has a jaunty feeling that I adore!, it's a fun, cheery good time.

I feel like mixing wise, the percussion is almost inaudible and that's pretty much I have to say on the mixing side of things.

Compositionally, I love some of the chords you used but the melody felt very improvisational at times and there wasn't enough of it that "stuck" with me, I'd love for it to be more percussion elements to drive the song forward, if you also varied the sound of the lead more before the outro you could change the mood of a piece so much more!.

It wasn't a bad song by any means, just nothing that particularly stuck with me, I enjoyed listening to it!.
