Really nice track! Like that atmosphere, proggy bass and synths. Good singing, but sometimes a little of key, so work on that.
Good work!
By the way, check out my latest track

I wonder how i've missed this track .
hehe.. first of all the artists say speactra feta. akia... (feta is a greek kind of cheese )
-------
ANYWAY
-------
kick is a little too boomy, snare is nice and crisp.
nice dry hihatline.
great atmosphere after the bassline comes in.
hey.. Akia you sound nice!!
I wonder what you sound like when you talk ..
______
anyway
------
vocals work nice on the rest of the track!
too bad Akia doesn't sing that much in the break..
nice how the filtered melody comes in
chilled and driving climax!
4:20.. a bit early to build down like that don't you agree?
Thanks for your rewiev NTT1 ! I will absolutely check your track!
LOL cheese?! Thatīs great ! Thank you Takkra for your words, Iīm really flattered !
You can find the whole lyrics in the first page but the talking means "It is you - Or me".
Thanks Barry! Both me and Speactra have worked hard with the vocals, glad you like it !

Loved the haunting nature of the vocals, reminds me of Miriam Stockley if you are familiar with her (she was the vocalist behind the "Praise" song "Only You", remixed by Atlantis, "Fiji" I think it is called. Andrew
I have listned to Praise - Only You now and I donīt think I have Miriamīs strong voice, but I can see what you mean !

Given that she has been a professional singer for many many years you ain't doing too badly!

Thanks all!
Too bad some of you don't like the bassline. I can see what you mean, it's not the regular bassline for this kind of a track, but I made it just as I wanted it too be, so I cant change it. It's just the way I like it now...
and I know it's feta spelled it wrong there.
Thanks for the kind words everybody, and NTT1, I'll definitly check out your track
In overall nice track, I really like the vocals. I can see them fit just perfectly into my own tracks. :P
You should really replace the kick, it isn't energetic or powerfull. The kick determines for like 70% the power in a track.
It also sounds kinda lofi to me, I think you should spend some more time at equalising and adjusting the sound levels. It will sound way better.
Again the use of good quality samples will also improve the sound.
The melody doesn't touch me. The chords are fine but you change them every bar. Some people like it that way, I do not.
But again in overall nice track, really great vocals and the synth work is good.
If less is more think about how much more more would be.

Nice...
The bassline sounds a bit boring though and Akia needs to put some more emotion to her singing. You sound a bit static like a robot, just try to moan and scream a bit more
Overall it's a good track! Really reminds me of some Stephanie Vezina songs which i adore...
