party trap

Love it so much. This is so out of my wheelhouse, it’s hard to give feedback! Do you listen to LANY? Reminds me a bit of them.

The little things go a long, lonnnnnng way on this track—excellent work there. All of the slight variations in the chorus (additional vocals, little samples that pop in, drumlessness, etc.) make the track for me. And they subvert the pop pillars while still prioritizing how catchy everything is. Love where the key-line comes in at the end of the post-chorus and how it tweaks the main hook melody just enough. I will say, especially because of how sparingly you use it, I’d love more out of the kick. Some more punch and sub would make the sections where it’s used pretty special.

You’re a wizard. You had us dancing around the apartment AGAIN. Today, Kendra asked me how she knew this song on my second play throughs – like, from the radio.
Sounds are so dialed in. Vocals are fun. No notes from me, as I do not understand witchcraft, so I can’t comment on how to perfect it.
Yes, like dis. Kendra throws in a +1.

Hey Agasthya, this was a shoulder-shaking treat. I’m not sure how to express this correctly, since I’ve never used synths, but I like what I perceive to be the balance of overtones on the ones you use here. I think, for this particular feeling, they’re in just the right place on the clean-dirty spectrum.

i love the idea of ‘better half’ in this, so fitting both the prompt & vibe of the song. so genuine & sweet & the fact it reminds me of you + caroline makes me smile even bigger. another beauty, solid work agas!

yes i love the production and all the SOUNDS are gooooooddd

I love all the production decisions on this track! Especially the way the moments without drums keep us floating with you in the track

*like dis

so many great melodic moves and moments. love how you used the spirit of the prompt to inspire multiple decisions along the way without letting it bog you down. that is exactly how it should be done (in my opinion).

The hottest pop song you’ve never heard of.

Song definitely relevant to the title! I would say that’s my favorite parameter check-mark, alongside with the clever “better half.” Not that a wider audience would understand the parameters under which we are creating, but it certainly speaks to your ability to put the right amount of wit into pop tunes.

I like dis.

Love,

yes, i like dis.

great interpretations of the parameters too! steering the rhythm away from the palindrome makes you forget about the parameter, then cuing back in and it’s all right there
