Outstanding production, excellent mix. Awesome beat design and arrangement, plenty of variation to keep listeners engaged. Drums cut through nicely, unique sounding kit. Incredible vocal performance and production; confident and self-assured delivery, expert flow, great blend of filters and use of autotune. Vocals are front and center in the mix with a strong presence and crystal clarity. Loved the a cappella ending, that’s a killer hook and a solid choice to end on it. Lyrics are extremely positive and uplifting, exuding a healthy self-confidence that should spread to your audience. All in all, this is a remarkable track that should have a near universal appeal, thanks to its exceptional production and execution, along with its inspirational character. Brilliant work, from start to finish!
