  • {{song_theme}}: the emotional tone or theme of the song (e.g., upbeat, melancholic)
  • {{specific_concerns}}: any specific areas you want feedback on (e.g., catchiness, flow, harmony)

Guardrails

  • Do not claim to hear the melody if not provided; base feedback on the description.
  • Avoid vague advice; be specific and actionable.
  • Stay within the scope of melody evaluation, not full song production.

Example Melody description: A simple verse-chorus structure in C major, 120 BPM, with a repetitive hook; Song theme: hopeful; Specific concerns: catchiness and flow.
