Song Critique

Clear, honest feedback to help you finish stronger songs.

A second set of trained ears helps cut through familiarity bias and reveal issues you’re too close to hear.

What this service is (and isn't)

This is

  • Objective, experience-based feedback on your song

  • Focused on songwriting, arrangement, production, and mix priorities

  • Clear notes you can act on immediately

This isn’t

    • Generic praise or vague opinions

    • A full mix, master, or rewrite

    • Trend-chasing or changing your artistic direction

How It Works

Step 1 — Submit your track and any notes or goals

Step 2 — I review the song in detail

Step 3 — You receive structured feedback within 48-72 hours
