Album Evaluation & Feedback

Get Feedback On Your Song Lyrics So You Know The Strength and Power Of Each Lyric Draft, AND How You Can Improve Them So Your Album Can Become a Hit!

Please tell me...

Does this sound familiar to you?

You are finished (or nearly finished) with writing the songs for your album, but something doesn't feel right. You know you need to re-work some songs, but you don't know where to start—so you haven't.

You are not sure if your listeners will be able to relate to what your songs are about or if they will care at all, but you don't know how or what you can improve in order for your songs to better resonate with your audience.

You’ve taken songwriting classes, read books, listened to podcasts, gone to conferences, and spent so much time writing, but you still don’t know if your lyrics are any good. You wish someone could just tell you what you're doing well and what you need to work on improving.

Working With A Song Lyric Editor

Songwriting requires you to be a musician, a producer, a composer, a lyricist, and a storyteller. Living up to all those different roles can feel overwhelming, so let me support and guide you to craft compelling and meaningful lyrics for your album!

Just Imagine

It Could All Be Different!

Getting personalized feedback on every song on your album so you'll know exactly what songs tell the most captivating stories
Having a clear roadmap to follow so that you don't have to wonder what to do next to improve the lyrics of your songs
Knowing exactly how you can improve your songs to create an emotional connection with your listeners, take them on a journey, and provide a meaningful experience with a powerful takeaway so they want to listen to your next song... and the next ... and the next...

Do You Want To ...

... know exactly what to focus on when you revise your album's lyrics so that your words get the message across, touch your listeners' hearts, and are meaningful to them.

... translate the message and the idea behind the lyrics so that your audience can connect with you and your song's main character, and loves to be taken on a journey.

... feel more confident in your songwriting and know your strengths and weaknesses so you can focus on improving your skills.

LET ME BE HONEST WITH YOU...

Writing all the songs for your album is one thing... Revising Your Lyrics To Unleash Your Song's Full Potential Is Another...

So here's what you can do:

Option 1: Do It Yourself

You could try and figure out how to make your lyrics better. And it will be like a big guessing game if you don't know what to focus on – on a global as well as detailed level.

Basically, you have to go through your lyrics step-by-step, check all the important criteria, find out what's working, what's not, what needs improving, and figure out how you can improve it... and all of this without real certainty if you are on the right track...

Option 2: Ask Friends and Family for Feedback

You can show your lyrics to some people and get various opinions.

Pass your lyrics on to someone you trust. At best, you get solid feedback about what someone liked or didn't like about them.

Unfortunately, it will be hard to figure out WHAT led to someone liking or not liking your lyrics and HOW you can improve it. So all you'll probably end up with are some good guesses but even more insecurity about what to do.

- OR -

Option 3: Let me do it for you.

Leverage my expertise and experience to revise your album lyrics and tell you exactly how you can truly level up your lyrics so that they have the power to hook, engage, and captivate your audience to make an impact!

WRITTEN WORDS ALWAYS NEED AN EDITOR.

What A Lyric Editor Can Help You Achieve.

Evaluating the power of all the song lyrics on your next album will give you the necessary feedback on how to improve your lyrics so you can record your vocals with confidence and release an album that is engaging, compelling, and meaningful and makes your listeners want to listen to ALL of the songs WITHOUT skipping one.

Here's how and why I can make you this promise.

I am Melanie Naumann, and an Independent Consultant for Record Companies and Music Artists, as well as a Certified Story Grid Editor, author, and Lyric Advisor.

I have dissected hundreds of song lyrics, studying the craft of storytelling in songwriting. And discovered why some songs fade away while others stay with us for decades or even become the anthem of an entire generation.

It's my calling to help songwriters write lyrics that have the power to make an emotional impact on someone's life through the ART of writing lyrics - lyrics that create an emotional connection with the listener and let you, as the songwriter, communicate what matters to you so that it resonates with your audience, and with that - leave your legacy.

You don't have to take my word for it.

What other songwriters are saying about my feedback.

What's Included in the Evaluation of Your Album's Song Lyrics

#1 – Song Lyric Analysis & Feedback

I'll run each of your song lyrics through my S.O.N.G. revision framework to let you know what works in your lyrics, what does not, and how you can improve them. You will get specific advice and possibilities to rewrite your lyrics with clarity and intention. You will be able to take your songs to the next level by making them hook, engage, and connect with your audience while also taking them on a journey that will provide them with a meaningful takeaway so you can make a difference in their lives.

#2 – Evaluation of Your Album's & Lyrics' Power

I will take your lyrics through my proprietory Song Evaluation spreadsheet to tell you which songs are the strongest and weakest regarding their power to touch, move, and impact your listeners. This will give you a clear understanding of what songs to choose as single releases, but also know your own strengths and weaknesses for further study and improvement.

#3 – A "next steps" Editorial Letter

You will get a "next steps" editorial letter so that you'll know exactly what to focus on when it comes to improving your song lyrics. These steps will be prescriptive and actionable, allowing you to focus on writing rather than worrying about what to do next. See this as your customized plan to move forward with clarity and intention. The letter also includes a summary of your album's power and the main concepts included so you can better understand the overall theme and options you have to make it more coherent.

#4 – Clarity Call

It's also possible to jump on a 1:1 clarity call with me to discuss my feedback and your next steps so that you feel confident moving forward with your work. We can brainstorm central ideas, tackle problems, or take a deep dive into a concept for the entire album on this call. You can ask me any questions about my feedback, your songs, or writing in general. And you'll get a recording of this call. Yours to keep!

Need Help to Decide?

Let's take a moment to see if the Album Feedback is right for you.

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

If you're not committed to making a difference through your music
If you're not interested in crafting impactful lyrics that resonate with your audience
If you're looking for a shortcut to fame and success. We believe in the power of hard work and dedication.
If you're unwilling to put in the effort or blame external factors
You can't accept feedback or constructive criticism on your songwriting.
If you're looking for help with music or melody, lyric form, structure, rhyming or your use of literary devices.

THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF:

You are ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to take your songwriting to the next level.
You have already written the songs for your album but you want to make the lyrics stronger before you start recording.
You understand that investing in professional feedback is the key to becoming a better songwriter.
You seek feedback on your lyrics' content, progression and narrative; your song's message, and your audience's experience to be able to hook them and keep them engaged, while you create an emotional connection with them so your words can make an impact and move them.

When this aligns with you, it's time to rock this thing together.

HOW IT WORKS

Just A Couple of Steps to a Powerful Album.

Choose your package and fill in the form below to get the feedback on the lyrics of your next album

Send me the lyrics of the songs of your albums as a PDF, Word file or Google Document.

Allow me to create a customized plan for you and get Your actionable Feedback.

Jump on a Clarity Call with me to talk things through and get all your questions answered so you can move forward.

We've already recorded some songs. Is it too late to do this?

Don't worry! Of course, it's best to do the analysis before you go into the studio to record your album. But if you've already recorded some songs and you worry that the lyrics are not strong enough to engage your audience, then please reach out to me. I can check your album and give you concrete and actionable feedback so that you can improve the rest of the songs without re-recording the others.

What qualifies you to evaluate song lyrics?

I am a Story Grid Certified Editor. That means I was personally trained by Shawn Coyne. He is an editor with over 35+ years of experience in editing manuscripts and has worked in the "Big 5" publishing houses. He is the creator of the Story Grid methodology which helps writers tell powerful narratives. I renew my certification every two years to stay on top of my game. Furthermore, I have analyzed over hundreds of song lyrics, and I am the creator of LyricMastery and all the concepts around the ART of writing song lyrics.

How do I send you the songs for the analysis?

I focus on the lyrics of the songs and not on the implementation of the music. So it's totally fine if you send me the lyrics in a Word file, in a Google document, or in a PDF via email.

We're unsure which direction to take on our new album. Can you help us?

Absolutely! Let's get on the phone and discuss what keeps you from getting started. You can book a 30-minute coaching call with me here. Alternatively, if you want to talk about this offer here on this page, you can also send me an email to inquiry@lyricmastery.com and we can have a chat about it and if this is the best option for you.

We've only written a couple of songs, but would like some feedback before we continue. Can you check them out?

Yes, of course! To get started, you can also get feedback on one of your song lyrics or book a 30-minute coaching call with me. For more information: please click here. If you want to talk about this offer here on this page, you can also send me an email to inquiry@lyricmastery.com and we can have a chat about it and if this is the best option for you.

There will be less than 10 songs on the album. Is there a discount?

You can send me 10 or more depending on the plan you choose. Even if you just want to release 7 songs on your album, you can still use the other empty slots to send me the lyrics of other songs you've worked on. By analyzing all of the song lyrics, you will get a clear overview of the songs that are the most powerful. Maybe a song that you thought was B-side material is so strong, that you should put it on an album, or switch with another track on the album that is not as strong. So this is your chance to find the strongest songs for your album.

We can't send out demo tapes, but can you check our songs anyway?

Yes, absolutely. You don't have to have the music ready in order to apply for the analysis of your song lyrics. I focus only on the lyrics and not on the melody or the musical implementation. So send me the lyrics of the songs as a Word document or PDF.

Do you work as a topliner as well?

When working together, I focus on consulting, coaching, and writing lyrics together because I believe everyone has a story to tell. And I want to support you to be able to tell what you need to express in your songs. So I'd love to work WITH you to help you write powerful and captivating lyrics.

Can I submit lyrics that are written in another language?

Yes. I also accept lyric submissions in Spanish, German, and English.

I have another question.

Alright, no worries. Please send me an e-mail to inquiry@lyricmastery.com and I will get back to you ASAP.
