Keep On Living by Sascha Ende

Hit or Miss? Arti’s Review

This track immediately grabs attention with its confident, driving energy. The retro synth vibe is well-executed, bringing a nostalgic yet contemporary feel. The production is clean and punchy, particularly the drums and bass, which provide a solid rhythmic foundation. The vocals are melodic and fit the style, although they could perhaps benefit from a touch more warmth in the mix to feel fully integrated. Harmonically, it’s straightforward but effective, building a sense of momentum. For media use, this piece shines. It's easily imaginable underpinning action scenes, fast-paced montages, or even adding energy to a tech or urban lifestyle commercial. Think car adverts, video game trailers, or even a high-energy podcast intro. To enhance its versatility, consider adding a version without vocals, as the instrumental sections are strong and could broaden its appeal for different projects. The mix is generally good, though perhaps a touch more stereo width in the master could elevate it further to compete with top-tier library tracks. Overall, a solid, usable piece with a clear sense of purpose. A few minor tweaks in vocal mixing and mastering could really make this track shine even brighter in a competitive library environment. The arrangement is functional and keeps the energy flowing nicely, which is crucial for production music.
