Corrupted 5:050:00/5:05
“Like the engaging, grounded, and electrifying musical mood this extracts. The track captures that indie rock sound blended with punk and classic textures throughout, creating a driving, punchy, and gritty tone. Clearly you got a knack for this type of genre. Recalls the likes of The Hives, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, U2, etc.” - UNXIGNED

'Corrupted' is a vibrant piece that stands out for its energy and lyrical depth. From the first chords, I was immediately attracted to the mix of sounds and the emotion you convey through your music. The fusion of styles and the emotional intensity that you imbue in each note create a captivating listening experience.

“I really enjoyed the track. Your genre-blending style worked really effectively, and is something I'd love to see you capitalise on even more in future releases, by experimenting more with new genres and soundscapes I think filtered vocals can be a difficult thing to include well in songs, and are often needlessly overused, however your use of them was exceptional and added so much to the story of the song. This felts like a real song of rebellion, and the vocal track captured that perfectly, and was paired perfectly with some incredible lyrics I think the part of this song I'm most impressed by is the smoothness of the backing track. You have taken so many different aspects and managed to combine them into an extremely well blended and evenly mixed track, so every component is noticeable, but non are overpowering We actually have a special campaign going live on May 17th to celebrate constitution day and highlight Norwegian artists to a wider global audience, and would love to include Corrupted in this campaign (will tag your instagram when it goes live)” - Songs Behind the Music
“I hope that you are doing well! Listen to your new music, "Corrupted", and would like to share some of your impressions. The melody is incredibly captivating and surprised me from the first chord. The transitions between the music segments are smooth and unstructured, making listening a very pleasant experience. A variation on this could add an extra touch of interest and keep the look even more involved. His voice is one of the two strongest aspects of the music, with a unique timbre that stands out and fits perfectly with the style of the music. The emotional delivery is palpable and really helps convey the message of the lyrics. It would be interesting to explore different vocal registers in future parts to add more variety. The lyrics are poetic and enveloping, telling a story that draws the attention of the audience. The metaphors are only elaborated and enrich the narrative. A review of some rhymes could help improve fluidity, but not generally, the lyrical content is very impressive and well constructed. The music production is excellent, with a clear and balanced mix where each sound element finds its space without over others. Perhaps a small adjustment to the levels of some instruments during the refrões could highlight your voice even more and give a final touch to the production. "Corrupted" is an impressive piece that demonstrates all of your talent and creativity. It is a music that requires attention from the beginning to the end and leaves a lasting impression. I am eager to hear more of his work and accompany his evolution as an artist. Parabéns hair excellent work! Continue creating and sharing your art with the world.” - Gym Trap
“I have been able to listen to your new song "corrupted" and I found it to be a track with that very blues-rock style that transmits that feeling of aggressiveness and energy, but also with that sober and elegant blues style. The interventions in the guitar feel fluid and above all providing that dynamic and energetic sound of the instrument. On the other hand, I also liked the effect of the vocal line, as it sounds as if it was being sung through a megaphone, which adds that effect a little more dirty and brings interesting textures to the composition. However, I think this song contrasts with our editorial line, as we are looking for songs with a slightly more dreamy sound, from genres like alt folk or dream pop. The latter has been the reason why I could not include this song in our next weekly rotation. ” - Xtohkuh
“The production quality of "Corrupted" is top-notch. The vocals are powerful and full of emotion, and the instrumentals are well-balanced, creating a cohesive and polished sound. The structure of the song flows smoothly, maintaining interest throughout. My only suggestion here would be to add more dynamic variation to keep the listener even more engaged. Your song aligns well with current rock music trends. The blend of classic rock elements with modern influences, coupled with themes of societal critique and rebellion, resonates with today’s audience. To push the envelope further, incorporating a few more innovative elements could make the track stand out even more. The album cover is striking and memorable. It perfectly captures the tone and mood of the song, using a dramatic monochromatic palette with red accents that highlight the themes of corruption and societal breakdown. The cover is visually compelling and likely to attract your target audience's attention. Average score: 8/10 - Music Quality and Production: 8/10 (High-quality production with powerful vocals and balanced instrumentals; minor suggestion to vary dynamics more.) - Alignment with Current Trends: 7/10 (Fits well within current rock trends, with relevant themes; could benefit from more innovative elements.) - Album Cover and Appeal: 9/10 (Striking and memorable, perfectly captures the song's themes and resonates with the target audience.) Given this strong performance, we’re excited to move forward with "Corrupted." Please send over a press release and at least one high-quality unedited photo within three business days to info@thelionsground.com with the subject “Groover files Tidal Water - Corrupted.” Looking forward to working with you!” - The Lions Ground Entertainment Group
“Delivering a powerful rock filled with screaming guitars, a cool organ, an exciting bass line with drums following the chaos, with fiery and challenging lyrics that are delivered with fierceness and conviction, setting a path of delivering a huge and intese message through your own musical vision that has not to be what the market says and that makes it even better, as it brings something more exciting and intense, because sounds real and organic. We will share the song through our blog, playlist and socials. Thanks again. ” - En Tijuana Hay Rock

“And what an incredible sound! I really like the way you create a very creative sound mixing modern and classic rock and soul elements. My favorite part is definitely the riffs! The instrumental sounds extremely well chosen and executed to invite the listener on this journey through time through different influences. Even the muffled effects on the vocals sound very well used and balanced. The result sounds quite bold and sophisticated to me. Congratulations on the beautiful and creative work! There is undoubtedly talent and potential!” - ROCKNBOLD
