Lieber Peteg, vielen lieben Dank für deine ausführliche Bewertung! Es hat mich sehr gefreut, dass dir mein Song gefällt. Ich musste schmunzeln, als du dachtest, es wäre...

Now this is a genuine hip-hop rap style track. I haven't come across much of that on HOLA though many have claimed the honour. Beyond that, very nicely done. I don't know if...
peteg at 12.11.2026 14:32 about We're Partying A Lot by East Street:
Rapid light hearted backing music plus a repeated vocal intro in a square dancing style. After which the track shifts into a style reminiscent of David Bowie. It's certainly...

Zu Beginn erklingt bezaubernde Begleitmusik; eine Sängerin mit beachtlichem Stimmumfang tritt allmählich in den Vordergrund. Es hat etwas Besonderes, wie sich ihre Stimme...
peteg at 11.11.2026 12:08 about Durch die Nacht by CASX:
Ein angenehmer Beat, der ein melodiöses Fundament bildet. Der Gesang fließt mit viel Schwung dahin und wechselt zwischen zwei Stimmen (vielleicht durch...

Stimmungsvolle Musik, intensiver, rap-artiger Gesang, gelegentliche Crescendos. Der Track überzeugt durch eine gelungene Mischung aus Begleitung und Gesang, viel Intensität und...
peteg at 10.11.2026 15:10 about Summerdream by Sascha Speicher:
Ein wuchtiger, hohler Beat, der immer wieder innehält und neu einsetzt; dazu ein kurzer Gesangseinsatz, der wie ein weiteres Instrument fungiert – ergänzt durch ein Geräusch,...
peteg at 10.11.2026 15:03 about Waiting by Kai M:
A light jazz flavour, a light beat, and a sorrowful vocal. The vocalist uses his voice to good effect, changing volume to increase intimacy, stretching out phrasing at times,...
peteg at 10.11.2026 14:58 about Take a Trip by Aileen-Chantal ft. Steve S.-r:
Light upbeat music. The vocalist uses her voice to good effect, moving between major and minor keys with seeming ease. The message curiously enough is happy-sad. Perhaps the...
