Hello Malerie,
We are keen to make sure all our experts do not review just to make the project look good but to point out both the good and the bad in any project. Which makes us stand out in this industry we are in.

Take time and read other reviews on our platform and you will see. MARAWA have said it all also.

Hello Malerie, I appreciate the follow-up. It is necessary for anyone and everyone to check the credentials of someone reviewing music and making music, but I do have to question- if this review was done in a more positive slant, would my expertise be questioned?

I must emphasize, for this particular EP, besides my own knowledge of music and music production, I did seek other expertise from people who can attempt to master music to counter my own biases. As I’ve re-emphasized throughout this whole review, my issue is not with the genre or the songwriting but the execution.

Having a large studio is not necessary to produce well-mastered music. There are plenty of musicians who strictly use DAWs in their home studio with lesser equipment than you, and are able to master it well enough. I understand the challenges of acoustic recording and authenticity, but other rock musicians that I’ve reviewed before on this platform did not display the same issues that this EP had.

Throughout the review I have commended the drum playing, in fact, I think it is one of the stars of the show. I doubt you have taken the review as a whole entity. I myself am subject to the scrutiny of people akin to my genre(s). I think this project has potential, but if you are a musician yourself, you would know that personal associations will not overcome certain standards or how music sounds to others. For all I know, some of the songs I rate as ‘excellent’ or ‘outstanding’ could sound abhorrent to another person. All in all, this was a review done in order to give pointers on how to improve and appeal to a broader audience besides personal kinships.

We will update it. We were restricted to 10 🤔
