Hey Vincent, I know how brave you're being for putting yourself out there so first things first, congratulations! It's amazing you were able to release tracks, you can be very proud of yourself.

You clearly have a lot of skill. If I may offer some thoughts as well – I think you probably still haven't fully found your sound – I can kind of tell where you're trying to go and I think with even more refining and experimentation you can get there, you're really close!

I just listened to Catalogue/Frontlines and to Adoration and I genuinely thought the vocals sounded really professional and I liked the idea of merging both songs together. The production also sounded very polished overall and well mixed, but the melody doesn't necessarily grab me and I feel like if you really want to make it in this day and age your music really needs to cut through the noise and grab people.

The production especially feels very early 2000, like Lady Gaga's Kaboom and Christmas Tree, which isn't necessarily a bad thing in itself. I do think with further experimentation with different effects and instruments you could probably make the sound even more your own. Think of how Charli XCX has been able to use autotune and turn it into a signature sound for her songs, even though pretty much every one uses autotune, the way SHE uses it is unique to her and is instantly recognisable, and I think you can also achieve that (both for the music style and also for the autotune tbh).

The vocal melodies also feel like they could be a bit more "dynamic" (for lack of a better word).

You've probably done this already but I'd recommend you study albums like brat (Charli XCX) and Music (Madonna - especially tracks like Runaway Lover and Impressive Instant) as well as other songs like STFU (Sophie Powers) and probably some songs by Poppy and others, maybe also James Blake's DJ tracks, or some tracks by Gesaffelstein. And then maybe recreating some of those songs in your DAW to understand what it is about them that works and that makes them stand out to audiences. The Charli XCX and Madonna songs are probably good examples for what I mean with regards to more dynamism in the vocal melodies, where the verses and the choruses are sung slightly differently (or some with autotune and some without) to add a bit more texture to the listener's ear.

I hope this message is useful and constructive. I truly think it's awesome you're chasing your dreams and honestly your music is great! These were just some late night thoughts I had on first listen. Keep creating and doing what you love!

EDIT: Public Eye is possibly the most successful of the tracks I've heard so far. The little "flutter" you use really makes the track stand out as something different imo!
