Ace melodies and great piano sound, very clean production quality. Drums groove nicely, good choice of sounds.
As far as critique is concerned I’d say your overall mix sounds a bit thin due to your sub lacking in presence. This tune would benefit so much from a properly compressed warm and dominant sub bass. Playing with different tone pitches could make the whole composition even groovier.
You may also add some sort of a sweeping pad to achieve a fuller sound and turn down the drumming a notch as I find it a bit too extreme for such a chill track level wise.
Good stuff
Track would be even better if:
- Drums wouldn't be so loud and punchy (yes, it's too much, esp. the kick).
- Sub would have a mid part.
- A piece of vocal would be added.
- Some other elements here and there would fill it up and give it more identity.
That's a lot of blabla from me. Don't let it ruin your day, just try to help imrpove.

nice solid drum sound, lovely crisp snare and hats. i like the piano riff, sort of has a nice airy mood to it. a nice little floater for sure. only thing i think could be improved would be the eq on the piano, seems to "hurt" a little in the mid/high end, maybe cut a few freqs,certainly an enjoyable track, nice one for your girl.
I must say, I am really jealous of your punchy drums. However I agree, that in this case they are a bit too punchy for such a laid back track. The pianos and accessory sounds sound very fluid and natural but they are also a little thin (and it probably seems this way because of the power of the drums), this could definitely use vocals or a lead to really fill out the mid and high end of the track.
All in all I would say you could easily make this a dancefloor tune if that were your goal.
Most of the stuff has been said but I just wanted to back up the opinions.
Melodies are gorgeous, your girlfriend must be proud.
yeah wicked melodies reminds me of john legend [sort of] very nice sounding percussion too with the rides, crashes, liking the beats sound clear n clean,think you could maybe add some more elements into the mix about the 2.20 mark maybe a pad sound or better still maybe turn the sub up as it does sound quite at this end however im listening on laptop so not ideal-wicked sounded mixdown everything sounding nice just more bass pls x
real nice track here m8e.
its been said before but really needs the sub bringing forward as im straining to hear or feel the low end, all this track need is the warmth.

damn.. i think im in love with you too!
haha
really pretty and chill track.. rele rele enjoyed it.. the keys are maybe too high.. i think if u EQ the top just a tad bit down ud be good.. the drums are rele nice.. althought that ride bell u threw in there ant 1:50 is a lil loud and would benifi the track better if it was just kinda hidden behind the beat
hey hey, first post on this forum,ez all of ya : )
about the track..
wow,the piano melody is really really chill and smooth..just perfect.
the drums are also just as perfect,tho imo they shouldnt be so punchy..anyway they still fit ur piano melody..the sub is a little..umh.. hidden ( but thats probably beacause im listening on shitty headphones ? )
the overall feeling and atmosphere is truly overwhelming ! i could listen to this on repeat for a while ! nice job
