[Maya Clars]

Hello everyone! I want to share with you my new song "am I a problem?" I tried to do a minimalistic song this time because usually, I add a lot of different instruments So, it's like an experiment. I hope you like it!! Please tell me your opinion about this song!

There's the music video Here's the link:

There's the lyrics of the song:

Do you know me
As I know me
I don't think you can understand
That I'm another
Of those others
Even the others are my friends

Do you listen
To my system
There's a missing part in me
You can't replace it
No, you're useless
Act like foolish
Foolish you

I wanna make it right
Wish I could make it right
Leaving everything behind
Is the only option
I wanna make it right for me
Even if it's not for you
Wish I never cared
So I could stop exhaustion

Am I a problem to you, boy?
I'm sorry, you'll never solve me
Have complications inner my bones
Better go if you don't know me
Is there a reason you are so bored?
I'm not a toy to enjoy me
Am I the problem to you boy?
Better go if you don't know me

Make it true
To make it bleed
Till my business is complete
Rushing fast
Coz I don't need
All your cheerful words
(Indeed)

Being myself, being proud of it
Having your skin has no benefit
Those ideal Pinterest photos
Have no sureness they're legit

I wanna make it right
Wish I could make it right
Leaving everything behind
Is the only option
I wanna make it right for me
Even if it's not for you
Wish I never cared
So I could stop exhaustion

Am I a problem to you, boy?
I'm sorry, you'll never solve me
Have complications inner my bones
Better go if you don't know me
Is there a reason you are so bored?
I'm not a toy to enjoy me
Am I the problem to you boy?
Better go if you don't know me

I don't hear good words enough
Do I deserve to hear your cuss?
Am I allowed to lead my path?
The answer "no" makes me laugh
Makes me laugh

I wanna make it right
Wish I could make it right
(I'm not a toy to enjoy me)
I wanna make it right
Wish I could make it right

Am I a problem to you, boy?
I'm sorry, you'll never solve me
Have complications inner my bones
Better go if you don't know me
Is there a reason you are so bored?
I'm not a toy to enjoy me
Am I the problem to you boy?
Better go if you don't know me

I don't hear good words enough
Do I deserve to hear your cuss?
(I wanna make it right
Wish I could make it right)
Am I allowed to lead my path?
The answer "no" makes me laugh
(I wanna make it right
Wish I could make it right)

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Maya Clars - another super catchy number from you.

I think the arrangement suits the song very well (to your question). The stripped back mood and feel of it is spot on. Great beats. I really like your voice Maya.

Another slice of perfect pop!

Hi Maya,

Well done!! I love the way you have produced this, especially the way you layer your vocals. Very cool!!🤩🎶🎶👊🏻🎶🎶

It’s fantastic pop! You have great phrasing and where others perhaps may suggest slight corrections to the English…e.g “I’m not a toy to enjoy me”  is not quite how we would say it, BUT it sings GREAT and everyone knows what you mean and so I think you can get away with it.😄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Well done mate! Keep working hard and you are gonna be…a problem on the charts!! (🤪yeah…I just wrote that!🤦🏼‍♂️😆🤷🏼‍♂️🤩)

Yes really fabulous.
Very clear production
Smooth and minimal with the instrumentation
Voice is just stunning
Lyrics are great, perfect pop.

Another great song Maya. I really like the arrangement here. The production is crystal clear. Keep 'em comin'..this is awesome!

A cool song @Maya Clars,  I don't think it's necessary to critique the song or production as I can clearly hear that you or on the right track.  I expect your journey as a songwriter and perhaps performer if you chose that path, will be filled with success.  It is rare to discover a writer who clearly has given herself to finding perfection in their  art.  Well done.

A lot to like in this one. Nailed that modern dark pop vibe for sure. I think the use of the vocal harmony/ad libs in the chorus is perfect and there's some great use of vocal FX/processing in the bridge section. I LOVE the bass line. It's really menacing sounding yet really simple. For me, it is the driving force and centre of the track. It also contrasts really well with the innocent sounding vocals. I also really like the percussion that sits nicely in the background before the trap style drums come in. It fills in the track very nicely while we anticipate the drums coming in - is it a percussive loop you've used here?

@Sing4me88

Ahh, thank you so so much for your review! I'm so glad to know you love the bass, I wanted to make it perfect . As for the drums or beats, I use Groove Agent on Cubase and some of Halion VST. No samples, nor loops, just having fun with different patterns and sounds Thank you again for your words!

@Wicked Deeds

Thank you very much! I appreciate that. Ahh, I'd love to be a performer, so hoping for the future . Thank you so much!!
