First of all, great work effort! So many songs and I really hope You
had fun doing it!!! I've written a little comment
next to every song. Over all I have to say that Alex Tiuniaev blows
my mind. Very talented guy! I think he needs
some help with production but he has something. And that something
could be something great. Very personal
and totally believable! But this thing here was about songs to pitch
to other artists (and I do think Alex could be
one himself) so I'm leaving the word over to Nicholas. My publisher
and friend! And remember, my opinions are just my
opinions! There's like 6 billion people in this world! But now, over
to mr publisher here ;-)
Nicholas:
Hello to everyone involved! Overall I'm pretty impressed of the
overall quality of the material. From a professional point of view I
haven't heard the 100% perfect song to pitch to an artist on an
international level - but from a personal view I agree with Mattias.
I really like Alex thing but also Dominance. Dominance - one thing though -
sing in Russian instead! Good luck with the rest of your musical
carreers in the future!
Some of the contest participants wanted to stay anonymous, so here we publish just the songs of participants, who are not so shy :)
Alex tiuniaev - falling - interesting singing, an ok production. Pretty good song that lacks a strong chorus.
Mattias:
I love this verse! Very Gabriel! I have to say I like this ALOT!!!!!!
With a stronger
production and maybe work out the melody a bit more in the chorus.
But all around,
I really like this!!!
Nicholas:
Alex tiuniaev - I will walk on water - very good! A christian song? Inspired by Coldplay? If Alex tries to do some better work on the singing he's on to something good here...
Mattias:
Alex likes Morten like me!!!!!;-) Alex, there's something moving
in Your thing! Work on Your singing a bit and then don't try to pitch
songs to others!
You should do this Yourself! Me likey!
Nicholas:
Alex - the winter song - very nice song! Overall great! Alex - work some more on your singing!
Mattias:
I love it! Totally believable! Who is this Alex??? This is an artist
in the making! Alex,
this is going right on my ipod!
Dominance - fat guys - I like Dominance! Good production (you really feel its
a band). good composition and a really (accidentally?) funny lyric!
Mattias:
Like the title! But I have to say I have a hard time understanding
the lyrics.
In fact, I only get fragments like fast-food etc. But I'm sure it's
funny! Here's
some more production. Nice!
Good prod! Nice song with some interesting changes! Feels very much
like a soundtrack for a movie! And that's great!
But once again, can not understand the words! And that's a shame!
MmadCats - its reality - interesting song, an interesting voice that
sometimes work and sometimes doesn't. The lack of a real
chorus puts me off.
Mattias:
I guess this is a remix.
Nicholas:
MmadCatZ (deep in the sea...) - weak production and the singing
doesn't work....
Mattias:
Same thing here! The voice is a bit all over the place. Means that
it's a bit hard to hear the exact melody!
Nicholas:
Mmadcatz - reality - the best of the mmadcatz songs! The production
is good, great song and the only weak point is the vocal part.
Mattias:
It's a little difficult to hear the melody but it surely has a great
eurovision-quality! The
voice is maybe a bit to 'opera' to really catch on! Very eurovision!
And that's positive
here! Catchy! This could be something for Belarus to compete with in
the eurovision!
But before sending it in, redo the vocal so it perfectly clear what
the melody is!
The mech theatre - Песня о Лжи - very good production, a little bit
weird melody in the verses but I really like the drama in the
chorus!
Mattias:
Hihihi, what a sound! Also very movie-like! I see people walking
along a river,
meeting and talking. But that's just me, and I'm a bit weird!;-)
Nicholas:
The mech theatre - Песня о Невозможном... - once again very good production,
but hard to like the vocal melody. You don't remeber the song at
all. I lack a good, strong chorus!
Mattias:
Reminds me of the days when I used to listen to Chick Corea electric
band!
I don't know why! Like the whistle! Wollbeck would dig this!
Nicholas:
The mech theatre - Песня о связи... - sounds like something
inspired from The Wall in the intro of the song. As always - you
sound great - overall nice production and good production ideas -
but I don't hear the songs.
Mattias:
Agree with Nicholas! Interesting improv-music! But i kind of enjoy
it! Unique!
Natalia Sense
Nicholas:
Natalia sense - the world is this - bad production, bad song, bad
singing...
Mattias:
Good try Natalia! But no, it's to fragmented. It's a little bit like
a lullaby. But good try!!!
Nicholas:
Natalia - I believe - a little bit better production that the last
Natalia-song - but still averall it's not good enough. Still too
much of an embryo of a song.
Mattias:
A little better!
Theos
Nicholas:
Theos - nice production and overall a nice song. A little bit of a
weak chorus.
Mattias:
Weird and funny! Very russian and am I completely wrong when I say
there's a bit of early Shura in this? Brave! Agree with
Nicholas though when it comes to the chorus! Needs a stronger melody!
