I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"If I Could Ask" presents a really interesting blend of chill electronic vibes with a touch of soulful introspection, driven by a solid, understated beat. The opening immediately establishes a spacious, dreamy atmosphere, thanks to those lovely, warm synth pads and the arpeggiated figures that weave in and out. What I appreciate is how the track builds gradually – it doesn't rush things, allowing the listener to really sink into the soundscape.
The male vocal performance adds a unique layer of depth and emotion. It's got this breathy, almost whispered quality in parts, which contrasts nicely with the more assertive moments. It sounds like it is layered which makes for a nice touch. I like the use of some reverb, without being washed. From a composition standpoint, the track has a nice cyclical feel – it evolves and develops, but always returns to those core melodic ideas, creating a sense of comfortable familiarity. The arrangement does a good job of balancing the electronic elements with the vocals, ensuring neither overpowers the other.
In terms of production, the mix is generally quite clean and spacious. There's a good separation between the instruments, and the low-end feels controlled without being overly dominant. If I were to offer a suggestion, it might be to experiment with a bit more dynamic variation in the drums – perhaps introducing some subtle fills or ghost notes to add a touch of extra groove. The song gives an almost retro feel, reminiscent of 80's synthwave, but with modern sensibilities. For media applications, I see this working well in scenes depicting urban nightscapes, technological showcases, or perhaps even in advertising for products targeting a stylish, forward-thinking audience. The overall mood is reflective and somewhat melancholic, but it also has an underlying sense of hope and forward motion.
Comparing it to industry standards, "If I Could Ask" holds its own quite well. It's a well-produced track with a clear sonic identity, and the vocals add a distinctive touch that sets it apart from purely instrumental offerings. With a few minor tweaks to the drum programming and perhaps a bit more exploration of dynamic contrast, it could easily reach an even higher level of polish and versatility.
