‘Don’t ghost me’

Big Entertainment Art
Loved this track! The beat is infectious, tight, and rhythmic, effortlessly setting the tone from the very first second. The lyrical arrangement is just as impressive, thoughtful, well-paced, and delivered with genuine emotion, drawing you in. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you long after it ends. I’ll be sharing this across my socials—people need to hear this! Keep the music coming.

Hello Andrew Smith, thank you for sending “Don't Ghost Me".

Your song carries a sunny and raw vibe, with a more spiritual and intimate atmosphere. The sonic layers, especially the harp and violin, give the track a unique and delicate personality, creating a sound texture that certainly captures interest. The storytelling approach is clear and engages the listener, evoking moments of connection and contemplation.

Thanks so much for sharing your music with me on Groover. I'm completely captivated by this track—the lyrics are genuinely gripping and profound! The excellent Gothic folk instrumentation and superb vocals really make it stand out. I'll be adding the song to the August edition of my Relax Morning playlist on its release day. If you're interested in helping promote the playlist, just give me a follow on IG (gb.music.curator) so I can tag you.

Sentimental Music
“Don’t Ghost Me” is a deeply emotional and reflective song. The Celtic harp is delicate and intricate, weaving through the melody with grace, while the vocals carry a sense of longing and vulnerability. The combination of harp and lyrical tenor creates a cinematic feel, making the listener feel the story of connection, resilience, and loss on a personal level.

The track captures a quiet, heartfelt sentiment that draws you in and leaves a lasting impression. Its thoughtful arrangement and emotional depth make it a perfect fit for a playlist centered on sentimental music. I’ll be adding it to the playlist.

Bedlam Bookings
The Celtic Harper’s latest release “Don’t Ghost Me” is a hauntingly beautiful Celtic-inspired ballad that chronicles the emotional fallout of a fractured relationship. Through vivid, folk-rooted storytelling, the track captures a sense of longing and finality, underscored by Gothic tonalities and a rich acoustic soundscape. Intricate harp arrangements and a resonant lyrical content evoke themes of resilience, connection, and loss, drawing listeners into a deeply personal narrative. With stylistic echoes of Noah and the Whale, and Mumford & Sons, “Don’t Ghost Me” stands out as a poignant and artful addition to contemporary folk and acoustic playlists.
