"I like the vocal approach of this music. There's a redeeming quality that is waiting to be brought out with the right guidance. The music could be performed better, and smoothing out the bass line that's conflicting with the main melody and drum pattern."

Comments:
"The band sounds tight and the singer reaches a high level of performance which gives the song an interesting emotional power. His voice reminds me of the vocalist of the now-dissembled band Azul Violeta. "Un día más" has some Beatles influences. I would like the chorus sung in Spanish, but in English could work as a hook."
