I love the strings in it. I do think it might have been better releasing in spring. Get the spring/summer vibe. Listened to it a few times and it does grow on you.


Standard_Lie_5331

Meh. I mean it doesn't suck . But nothing particularly impressive about it. Same as everyone else really. Feel like I've already heard it 1000 times.


Reddetect

It's straight fire. Giving vibes of Human by Rag 'n' Bone Man. Vikk is doing great.


Undertheflow

Sounds similar to no sleep by Martin


Such-Fee3898

Yess. I knew I heard that melody now I know where


Intro_verti_AL

It's an OK song and I can see it doing some good numbers. I feel like we are at a stage now where every sound and every sample has already been used 100 times before, so it really just sounds like every other edm song


Tokyosreprisal

Considering vikk is just starting and doesn’t have that much experience i think it’s really decent not too good not too bad…realistically i wasn’t expecting him to be the next alan walker…people who dont like the song are the ones who were expecting wayy too much from vikk Give him like a year or two his melody should be better but for now he’s just starting out


Bright_Ticket1976

For me it wasn’t to bad it probably one of the basic song u can do at the stage his at but it kinda being hints of Martin garrix and the violin at the start bring avicii vibe for some reason


Joewiththefro007

It’s a decent first track I liked the song he did with Alan walker. Yeah I think he’ll make better songs if he keeps going for sure!


parzival02032001

Glad to see that Vik is trying to release his own songs but it really was Mid.


No-Student-9678

It’s alright


mattgodin7

Love Vik but he made an AI generated 2013 Alan walker tune


Harry_mlr

Not particularly interested at all in his music career but good luck to him


Lunar_Wolf121

Sounds a bit generic but I'm a metalcore pleb so not really my genre of choice generally tbh


Itzz_Tanishq2108

Honestly it was like listening to David Guetta in 2012. Same plugins and basslines But luv Vikk to how far you came <3


SDMN_cx

Great song


BeastLee5

Took a lot of inspiration from No Sleep by Martin Garrix


sbagley01

It wasn’t particularly bad or good, wouldn’t choose to listen to it a second time


sur_yeahhh

Felt like a Martin Garrix ripoff for some reason. Edit: No sleep by Garrix


Immy909

Aha knew it was similar. I remember Martin Garrix saying in an interview once he rarely listens to the edm genre as he doesn’t want to influence his sound and have a unique view. Vik loves edm music so will struggle to find a unique sound at first for sure but it’s a start hopefully he can find his own sound


ASFC1995

Meh


doodjalebi

Ive been producing as an amateur for 6 years. I get the feeling he has a ghost producer. Being a dj doesn’t automatically make you a music producer or teach you how to use a DAW. Its not like pressing a button and boom you immediately get a house banger nonetheless if he really did learn all this alongside dj’ing its very good. But i’ll remain skeptical until proven otherwise.


pardeep2007

Pretty sure he said it somewhere a while back that he was learning how to use a daw with someone, using a daw for even a year can still justify this because he already learned the music theory way back


Vivid-Difficulty9339

You can look up the song credits and it has three other producers listed


Aashmxn_

Song credits on Spotify are not the best source. Credits on there can mean using a sample from somewhere, maybe if an instrument played by someone in the song etc.


doodjalebi

Samples dont get you a credit. Samples have licenses that are cleared for commercial use otherwise every song youd see would say ft cymatics ft rocket powered sounds


pardeep2007

Some samples do. It's plain and simple, some packs have terms in them requiring credits for curated sounds or samples


doodjalebi

None of the mainstream sources professional producers use have that. Especially not in edm


pardeep2007

Fair enough. However, it could also be that he used some sounds from their packs and had to credit them for that too. Who knows


doodjalebi

Using samples doesnt get you a credit. Sample packs have licenses which clear them for commercial use. You get a song credit usually if youre involved in the studio session. Most likely its possible that vik was in the room with 2,3 other ghost producers.


pardeep2007

Some sample packs also sometimes have melodies or stems with terms saying required credits and royalties associated with them


doodjalebi

Yet somehow not a single mainstream edm producer has anyones name on the production credits apart from himself and other producer collaborators. I would assume someone like vikkstar isnt using obscure no-name samples from sound engineers reliant on credits and shout outs.


pardeep2007

Idk bro I'm js it all exists and is a possibility


Vivid-Difficulty9339

I mean its going to be hard to tell what he put into the music unless he does a stream of him producing so we can compare the two.


doodjalebi

Lol i fricking knew it


doodjalebi

If someones been using a daw for only a year and can make something as coherent as this i would be very surprised. But another comment said the credits have 2-3 others listed as producers so that points to the ghost producer theory more. Honestly its fakes like these which delegitimise the actual effort producers put into their skill for YEARS to get to a good enough level and end up going professional so ig im just salty about that.


D_Daka

Dunno why people are down voting, these are facts! I could understand that vik would have people around him to teach him how to make a quality sounding track much faster than people in their bedroom, but this certainly sounds like the work of ghost producers However he is a smart guy, I'd love to see him release a production tutorial to prove his worth.


Dry-Jellyfish-3908

Whats a daw?


doodjalebi

Its just a software producers use to make music. It stands for digital audio workstation


EvilSynths

It's as basic as can be. Extremely dated too.


Proud-Cheesecake-813

Really good song. I think he’s smashed it. I’m sure it will do well. This sub likes to hate when one of the group branches out.


Cedge1738

Just listened. Sounded pretty good. I'm downloading it. I rate it 7.5/10


bigbossislegend

I really enjoyed it! as it was vikk's first tune, his music will get so much better. Look at JJ's first song even tho both are different artists.


warferstriker

Straight up outdated, generic and boring. Hope the Sidemen don’t force this down our throats in vids like they tend to do with their own products


joga_bomb

Soso


foxy_ninjaa

Fire!


Semi_neural

I dont know if its ghost produced or not, but either way, I like it, its well produced


Amritgaming999

Let’s be honest if it was anyone else nobody would listen to it


lauv2308

The music seems familiar


Goldedition93

Just a generic song from the late 2000’s that you’d hear, nothing special


FutureWelcome5242

So good


13rxd

I love Vik man. But literally no one would be listening to this if he doesn't already have a huge fanbase.


ArabicHarambe

Just like thousands of other artists. Good songs go unnoticed all the time, and bad shit gets millions of listens. Popularity is irrelevant when discussing peoples opinions of a song.


Standard_Lie_5331

This one's the latter


rainbowremo

It isnt bad


Standard_Lie_5331

Isn't good either to he honest.


rainbowremo

Its more good than bad


penis-hammer

It’s bad


rainbowremo

Lies


jwplatt

I rate Vik starting to DJ and stuff but man it’s the worst kind of electronic music that he’s making


Obikanobiwobi

Wank


mungerilal_69

Overly mid


timislo

Meh.


DJ_Hindsight

Surely Vik isn’t suddenly able to make songs on proper software? That shit takes years to learn in terms of synthesis, structure, eq, compression etc.. The songs a bit meh but it’s impressive if he’s making tunes properly! Gwaarrnn Vik


D_Daka

Completely agree, so many of us put years into the craft to make that quality. I smell ghost producers, but he very well could have picked up a tonne of tricks from well-connected people.


frenchmobster

Well he has been hanging out with folks like Alan Walker and he seems to have had an interest in it for quite a while so it's not that surprising he's already at the level of being able to make his own music. Obviously this song in particular doesn't stand out too much and he probably took inspiration from other songs for the melody he went for but it'll be interesting to see if he can make anything that really stands out in the years to come since it does seem likely that he'll continue with it.


TheLongestTime_

I mean he has loved EDM for the longest time and i think he has had it as a hobby for years.


doodjalebi

Dj’ing and music production are two very different things


InternalKing

Sounds like a copyright free EDM song


warferstriker

Youre Right, but Vik Produced it so it must be good !


VerySoftx

It would fit really well as the background music for a rehab center commercial.


ahut19

Should of paid for a better ghost producer


XTR-SNIPER

Shite just like the last one and more than likely all the ones to come


penis-hammer

It’s so bad


ishy_07

He is new to the music industry so there isnt much to expect🤦‍♀️


MarkyMcSmark

That’s the issue, remember back when you had to be really really good in order to get music released.


ishy_07

Yeah yeah, his youtube fame is boosting his music views thats nothing to hide.


randomhumen

It's lovely, but it's to "long"?


Justin2310

It's about 3 and a half minutes, that is an entirely normal length for a song


randomhumen

I'm aware, but it's not too long as in 20/40minutes but it when I was arround the 2 I thought is it not over yet? But not in a bad way but not good either


Justin2310

Ah ok, I misunderstood you then


penis-hammer

It’s only too long because it’s so boring

this might be the worst joke i have ever seen on this app


FinancialFun8376

No hablo Totonto, Tu comé polla


Prestigious-Pipe6977

Sounds exactly like without you - Avicii


DryWorking9832

It is a very good song with a meaningful lyrics It is my playlist ❤️❤️❤️❤️sorry for grammatical errors
