Really catchy piece, guys. The sample at the very beginning wasn’t my favorite. It just sounded a tad unpolished and didn’t fit the context of the next section very well. The drop is probably my favorite part of the song. You really display your rhythmic talents, and Jordi’s vocals are a huge addition to the texture. That said, I think the lyrics are pretty cliche. The solo during the breakdown was great. Obviously, your melodies have remained fantastic for the duration of the competition. You also didn’t add a ton of novel content to the piece during the second half. I noticed you incorporated some of the vocals from “After the Rain” at the very end to try to take it in a more interesting direction, but it seemed a little forced to me. Overall, the production quality is rather strong as usual, and the piece is well-structured and smooth-flowing. As usual, there’s a cool sound design here too. Guys, you’ve accomplished an amazing amount of great work over the course of this competition. Congratulations and keep it up! :D
