Brian,

Far be it from me to criticize the work of others since I don't have a pile of successes to give me credibility as some do.....but since you asked, and since you posted links to listen to, I am going to give you my opinion which you can feel free to ignore or embrace. Please don't hate me for it...I am trying to save you money which you said is in short supply.

I listened to three of your songs. The recording quality is good and the overall sound is pretty good. I don't know who created the melodies and the chords but they sound very generic and in one case, very repetitive.

I know the lyrics are yours. In my humble opinion, they are not very rhythmic and musical, and much of the writing is totally out of touch with what is wanted in today's music. The writing sounds very dated, the expressions you use are not current and the story lines not interesting to most people.

I wouldn't spend any more money on these songs unless you have money to burn. I think you would be better off to listen to a lot of songs in the genres you like and try to write in the appropriate style. Perhaps you can rewrite these songs and have just the vocals and lyrics replaced.

Good luck
Colin
