Other People Reviewing My Music

SONGS FROM A BASEMENT (Studio EP)
https://scottehall.bandcamp.com/album/songs-from-a-basement-ep
-"Your sound is sick. You should be sending this to different labels!" "You always get people sending you their music and it’s always kind of ehhh. Good maybe, but not great. Your stuff though? Dude. What the hell? I had absolutely no idea that you were so talented." "I was completely enthralled in all 4 tracks. You made me feel emotional, and your material was relatable. Also, the way you blend acoustic with so many other styles. In the beginning I had a sort of Conor Oberst and Bob Dylan vibe. But then there was Elliot Smith and Panda Bear! And then Brian Wilson showed up. You reminded me of so many amazing artists while maintaining a total uniqueness. I could hear your speaking voice through your melodies and the result was amazing. Your voice is so beautiful and capable and your songs are amazing." "A talented motherfucker."
-"I'm glad you've kept recording, writing, and playing. And I hope you received positive feedback from others because, wow. Your guitar playing, melodies, and lyrics are top notch. These songs feel nostalgic without being sentimental. It took me back to other times where I was surprised by the depth, quality, and freshness of music I wasn't expecting to be so affected by. I hope you keep writing and sharing. Because I'll keep listening."
-"Happy to support your music because it's effin legit." "Music so good I bought it on the sabbath!" "The only music I listened to today was yours. It's truly awesome."
-"It was amazing." "It's good music. Good job." "I decided to buy the album again."
-"Sounds great!"
-"Who is this? I need this!"

-"Great work!"
-"I loved them all. You are very talented, my friend."
-"Nice work! I would say it reminds me of Beck mixed with the Juno soundtrack! Awesome!"
-"These are so good!"
-"Enjoyable!"
-"Just as interesting as your guitar and lyrics are your vocal inspirations. Really fun, honest, simple music."
-"Good stuff!"
-"Fantastic. I truly love it." "Melancholy. It's kinda depressed but I enjoy it." "I liked the melodies. They were interesting. You really sounded like you were feeling it when you were singing." "Interesting independent music. Great sound!"
