One More Night acoustic cover for listing due today

[PamJ]

Hey everyone!

I recorded this cover of Maroon 5's One More Night. It would be great to hear some feedback before I send it in. This is my first time doing a cover

Thanks!

STRIPPED-DOWN, ACOUSTIC (Piano and/or Guitar), SINGER/SONGWRITER COVERS of Contemporary Pop Hits are needed by the CEO of a NON-Exclusive Music Library that gets lots of placements in TV Shows. Male or Female Vocals are both welcome for this pitch. Give them organic, well-executed Covers in All-Tempos that could be found on the same playlist as artists like Josef Salvat, Jocelyn Scofield, Kina Grannis, etc., etc., etc. Please take a listen to the references below to get an idea of what they need:

“Diamonds” Cover by Josef Salvat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_koFbsnw_PM

“We’re Up All Night To Get Lucky” Cover by Jocelyn Scofield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXMfRQ-O494

“Firework” Cover by Kina Grannis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HNI4OB7QO8

Give them well-performed Covers of recognizable Pop hits that stay true to the original melody, lyric, and arrangement. You’d be wise to cover a hit that’s been released within the last 5 years. They’re NOT looking for covers of dated Pop hits. Please be sure your vocal performance is compelling, with plenty of character and personality. They need Covers that are solely Guitar/Vocal or Piano/Vocal, so any additional instrumentation will NOT work for this pitch. Keep it simple! Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

This Library offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE deal. You must own or control your Master Recording. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Please submit one to three Covers Songs online or per CD no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Tuesday, September 29th, 2015. TAXI #U150929SS

Hi Pam:

The track does not seem to come up on soundcloud from our link?

For me neither.

Perhaps you checked it as "private."

[PamJ]

I don't know what a screener wearing headphones, listening with laser focus, would say,
but if I heard this under rolling credits of a film, I'd think it was cool, perfect even.

Great job. You should feel good about this, regardless of the outcome.

Pam:

I like it. Really nice stripped down cover. If this song is in the wheelhouse of what they want then why not get a forward?

I would love to hear some of your original songs....

Best of luck.

Thanks, Burpo!

I quite enjoyed doing it. Now I'm actually thinking about making acoustic covers every week for fun.

Thanks, Andy!

I have a couple of original tracks on my Taxi page http://www.taximusic.com/hosting/home.php?artist=PamJ

It's still all over the place because I'm doing different genres and it's all lumped in in there. But right now, I'm trying to organize my music on taxi/soundcloud/my computer. Hopefully I can make it less of a mess.

Being a member of Taxi just may make re-organizing your haystack o' tracks kinda fun.
You'll be daydreaming about how this might fit some future listing, or how that can be re-purposed, etc ...

The cover-a-week idea is grrrreat. Those listings are rather frequent.

Cheers to ya.

Nice Pam! Good luck with it.
