Somehow it reminds me of Cocteau Twins
Beautiful simple accompaniment .. ethereal vocals, which I really like. I think we all sometimes run a song a bit long. If this is meant for an album cut I think it works well here. The title "Butterfly Wings" is real apparent in the song. "Butterfly" is super gentle, "Wings" is much more apparent. The line "angel.... butterfly wings" is not easy to understand. Annunciation is sometime a after thought. We all know what we sound like, having fresh ears helps all .. The rhythm sounds like a loop... consider dropping out of the part where the strings get bolstered. I know it is holding down the beat... If you bring it back in after the above mentioned part, I think that it will boost the overall effectiveness of the tune. Very nice composition. Not sure what passes for country in Australia, in the US this would be more pop than country. Our country, contemporary that is, is a rock/country/hip hop thing.. almost computer generated. Your sound is completely human, delicate and can draw people in. Karen, I'm not sure if this helps. I am mashing up song and performance ideas. Just some things that came to mind.. thanks!

Butterfly Wings...so gentle, so strong...
I love the double story line of these lyrics. These words remind me of my journeys to heaven in the company of my angels. And the joy of being there. You have a clearly anointed gift of sharing the joy of life and heavenly realms and your voice is so anointed with such a clear bell like tone that sweetly carries resonating within our hearts and plucking heartstrings of memory.This instrumental was well planned and executed and I found it to be so soothing to my spirit, especially the guitar compositiion. The soft percussion was perfectly woven in to the harmony without overpowering your voice. I hope you will be blessed beyond measoure for sharing your talents with mankind.

Butterfly Wings
Sweet voice..lyrics are creative.. I line the use of a stripped down approcah to the recording.. Her voice is all thats need..i could see this being used forna movie or a commercial for television.

New age country
A very catchy and engaging voice from the land down under! I find the song relaxing and ethereal. The rhythm's work and the arrangement is sparse and allows the vocal to breath. A very original voice and one that has tremendous commercial possibilities. Perfect music to put on after a tough day and relax as this is very soothing. The parts are all there and I wish the artist great success! Good job and keep them coming as you have a ton of potential!

Butterfly Wings
Very good minimalist production that lets your voice come through to give it a mysterious feel to the song, your voice lends itself well to this type of song. Congratulations on a job well done!

Deep feelings and unleashing imagination
Wonderfull pop-ballad with an deep feeling for melodies. The great lyrics comming from the heart and touching the soul. The voice from Karen is impressive and has a soft emotional vocal projection. Fantastic rhythmical played acoustic guitar accompanes the song perfectly well and brings additionally beauty into the song. Additional key sounds, some chords from a soft e-guitar and light percussion bringing a hypnotically feel into the chorus. The digitally mixing and mastering is professionell. Sounds really professionell together and forcing the music constantly on a higher level. Overall a creative composition and very impressive arragemend. It´s a great quintessence of pop, New Age and country music. This recording unleashes the imagination and will leading you to emotions. Could listen to this song again and again. Great arranged chamber string ensemble make this song complete and is one of my favorits. I´m sure, you will like to add it. Let others know your recommendation.

You really did develop your own style here that might remind me a little bit of Kacey Musgraves. Certainly not classical country music but very worth listening to. The song flows like a river in the morning sun. Good production and sound, very nice and unique voice. The only thing I would consider is to build in a bridge instead of the musical part. That would add a little variety to the song and possibly make it even better.

Steady and ready
Great little tune with nice lyrics and vocals. Very Americana with an ambient sound and feel. This would be a nice piece for film or video choreography if someone is looking for a nice piece of music.

Butterfly Wings
Good morning Karen. Very nice and gentle tune for this song. Unfortunately, but not so bad, is the fact that when I saw the title, I was somewhat expecting a music tune much like the song Butterfly Kisses done by Bob Carlisle back in 1997. In and of itself, this is a very appropriate and soothing grouping of instruments. The singer has an equally soothing effect, and is a perfect fit for this tune. Would this by any chance be about a child being comforted in their passage through death? Everything being considered, this should be a very popular song; it is with me. :) I would listen to it over and over again. There don't appear to be any references to landmarks or other distinguishing features/events that would cause it to be considered as a regional song. Keep up the great work girl. Blessings, Trev. :)

OH MY GOD!!!
First thing, love the tempo and the beat, but the thing that sticks out for me is your voice, it is so sweet I want to hear much much more from you. This is very well put together and produced. I want to know everything about you and will be looking you up. Would like the bass to be a little louder but other than that it's perfect.
