It's this, right?

Feedback: You can carry a tune, and the production is nice. Your voice works for dance-pop/Euro-pop sounds. But I have to be honest, I have no idea what the lyrics were about. I say focus on that.

Hey there. I like the overall feel of the record.

Can I give a bit of professional constructive criticism? It's half a minute from the beginning of the track to the beginning of the verse. In the short time constraints of a pop song that's quite a long time, especially in the context of your particular song which is fairly uptempo. Your verse should begin at the 13s mark where you repeat the phrase "Get your roller boots on". Put that section elsewhere in the song instead.

I also think you need to work more on your lyrics. Your first verse begins with "Sparkly hair no warning" which is nonsensical (not sparkerly, that's not a word). In my opinion you need to change that in favour of something else. Don't repeat the entire first section of the verse straight away. Take some time to write more lyrics. I hope you don't think I'm being negative for the sake of it, I offer it in the spirit of constructive criticism.

I do like your voice, it has a very usable tone that is a pleasure to work with. Good luck with your music

hmmm, not sure I agree with your view on the lyrics, why doesn't Sparkly hair, no warning make sense? It could do, it all depends on what you're reading into it. Speaking as a lyrisist, I thing the lyrics are fine..........banal, but fine for the genre of the song.
As for the song itself, personally I prefer real instruments and a voice that hasn't had the soul processed out of it, but that's just my taste, and this song isn't. Again, though, for the genre it's aimed for, it's fine

That is actually better than anything the likes of Nicki Minaj could release.
Good stuff, well done!!
