Classic sound
The guitar intro reminds me of several big 70's power ballads, in a good way. The vocal is wispy and inviting, right on key and the build up with the keyboards is nice. I would have brought the drums in sooner to help differentiate the "Her Wings" chorus/refrain. Solid effort all the way but lacks tension and release, it's one vibe all the way through. The strings are a nice touch but they came out of left field, introduce them sooner I think. Good effort and keep at it. :)

Nice Tune
The tune to this song is great and I like it a lot. You can hear the potential of the song. The only thing that lets it down are the effects on the voice. There is far too much and subsequently you cannot hear the lyrics apart from the words 'She' and 'wings'. Sort that out and this would be a fabulous track. With clearer vocals, I would definitely listen to this track again, and would probably buy a copy.

beautiful
very buetiful into. the heavenly wings caught my attention and intrigued me. the voice and voice effect is fit for the song as well. i absolutely love the piano and when them drums drop in. very soothing song. the lyrics are very unique and properly written as well as well spoken. something about that effect is the most creative part of the song despite the lovely and heavenly chorus.keep up the good work

Beautiful
The arpeggiation at the beginning (and throughout the song) is really nice :) It fits well with the song, too. The lyrics are very well written. Just perfect! The piano fill that is added in between the vocal parts is absolutely beautiful, but it does create the issue of there being a noticeable volume difference once the vocals come back in. Maybe fade the piano in and out super gradually? Or just improve the mastering of the song altogether so that volume levels are more consistent throughout?

Old school power ballad
The guitar intro is reminiscent of 80's hair band ballads and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The singer is in key and the title is solid. An angel earning her wings is a good positive sentiment. The keyboard kick in was surprising, might've featured that a little earlier. Melodically the main idea repeats itself many times. Very operatic by the end. All in all this sounds like a demo, melodically it stayed on one theme where some variation might've helped, melodically and lyrically. Good work! Keep at it!

Bien
Bonita canción, bonita melodía y bonita voz. Música sin abusos, con los arreglos justos para que no se haga pesada y con subidas y bajadas para hacerla más interesante al que escucha. seguiré escuchando más de Karen y conocer su música más a fondo. Nice song, nice melody and beautiful voice. Music without abuse, with the right arrangements so that it does not become heavy and with ups and downs to make it more interesting to the listener. I will continue listening to more of Karen and know her music more thoroughly.

A good job !
Hello! From the first measurements of this composition, I liked the sound of the guitar... Very fine and very well recorded! The singer (probably young and pretty)! Has a youthful voice, suave and very pleasant to listen! The whole is well filled, well compact, and it forms a very nice all. The orchestration is skillfully thought, with these tablecloths of violins, which accompany very well the singing. Good job!!!
evasion time
It is the first time I listen to your song, good arrangement and mix . I have a really quiet and pleasant time. Only the end I have found it surprising compared to the sweetness of the song, Nice to listen to you again

Her Wings Review
Hi Karen, I'm sitting here listening to your song... I love the arrangement so far, the twinning acoustic guitar and piano is a nice accent. Overall, the mix is good, with the exception that your vocal needs to be louder. It gets buried in the music. The vocal should always be prominent, no matter what. People tend to click away from the song if they are having trouble hearing the words.. it's the lyrics that sell the song, even though the music is quite catchy. You have a home run here, girl! Best wishes!

Her Wings Review
Nice introduction from just the guitar, to the voice and the piano. It flows well. I like the vocal, BUT I think it would be equally impressive with the effect OFF the voice. I like the concept, the haunting sound of the vocals and the arrangement is very cool. Love ALL the strings. When U do a video, it should be really cool! Very impressive!

Her Wings by Karen O'Brien
Her Wings by Karen O'Brien is a beautiful song about compassion for someone's loss. The music is well played and Karen delivers a solid vocal performance. I think the song could have more impact with Karen's voice being more prominent in the mix with less processing. Musically, I also think the song would benefit from a more stripped down approach at the beginning and subtly building to the end. As it is, it tends to overshadow the emotion in her voice and the story. Great job, Karen!

Relaxing Melody
This is a very peaceful and relaxing melody. I found the song to be very catchy. Nice vocals as well. Her voice is so calming like that of an angels. I can't wait to hear more from Karen O'Brien!!!

Straight in the ears and stays.
Right from the start of this song with the sweet accustic guitar sound I knew it would be a super song. The entrance of the sweet melodious voice, everything of the song went straight in my ears and stayed there making me enjoy my evening rest at home after a streneous day activities. indeed I like this song very much and would listen to it time and time over and over again. Nice one it. Good luck.

Really striking and worth of any attention!
There's a lot to say about this song, but I'll be brief it anyway. The music has impressed me deeply much. Amazing tune from a very talented musician. The virtuoso tour de force begins with a flourish of chords of a genuinely well-played acoustic guitar in succession. The brilliant piano arpeggios answered by bold chords. The drums starts off and forcing the music constantly on a higher level. The introduction of the strings come surprisely. This fantastic chamber ensemble increases this song close to the end and is a very special highlight. That isn´t really easy because of the orchestration with different parts of the arrangement, but the whole instrumentation sounds really virtuos and implements a great feeling for music. Karen O´Brien sings with unique soft vocals from the heart and touches the soul. The lyrics are impressive and the romantic passion unleashes deep feelings. All instruments on this recording stand out and are masterfull played! Overall a very creative composition perfect mixed and mastered. This is a awesome pop-ballad and must be a radio hit. Listen to the song and I´m sure, you will like to add it. Let others know your recommendation.

Review by Mike
Loved the introduction with the guitar and the vocals were very appropriate for the songs content and tempo. Leading into the chorus the instrumental was nicely done to set the stage and I enjoyed this song. Nicely done and very catchy tone.
