Cut the intro in half.

Wow thanks for your in depth input! I really appreciate it! I’ll see what I can do. The intro I’m mimicking the length in “Skyfall” by Adele, the listing they provided 👍🏻🎶
I agree with Les. In my mind I heard the vocals come in after the first 4. May seem picky, but for me the expectation was there.
A really pretty song. Good work :)
Thank you for listening, your input, and compliment Alan! I wonder what I should go with- the longer intro in the sample song they provided, or a shorter version you guys are recommending 🤔

You'll have to decide that one; the Adele tune also gives me the "where's the singer?" bit of cognitive dissonance. As if the band is vamping, waiting for the singer to take the stage?

You have the start to something here.

But I don't hear this as an A/C Pop Song...

It's a Dark Ballad...Too many minor Chords in this one to be poppy & at this tempo it won't be POP...

It is definitely emotionally moving. Pop-naw

Thank you for your time and input! I wrote the song based off of this song they provided: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DeumyOzKqgI

Very dark with minor chords

my biggest issue with this song is that the melody isn't strong enough. you should also consider hiring a singer with a more contemporary tone in her voice, you sound more like a classic broadway singer (i assume it's you singing). you probably need to think of something that could be played on the mainstream charts, i think that's what they're looking for.

I'm totally open to having other singers on my music- are there any taxi members that you can recommend?

Thank you!

ps I've done a lot more to the track since I first posted it: https://soundcloud.com/shar4/love-again-2/s-FOyvokI2z8Y

well, i don't know any taxi singers i would recommend for this song, but natalie major on soundbetter might be a fit, depending on your budget. she's also willing to sign a work-for-hire agreement without charging. at least she did for me. if you want something cheaper, you can try searching on fiverr, but you may have to look harder to find the talents.
