my returns are getting more friendly!

[jfiegen]

After two years of negative reviews on my submissions the screeners are getting nicer and making me feel great about my music again. Except I'm still not getting any forwards. It's sort of like getting used to reading about mass shootings in the news every week.
ie:
Hi Jim, Some cool sounds throughout, but they're seeking a slightly more defined piece/developed melodic theme.

Title: leaves

Status: Forward Return

Reasons not Forwarded:
Vocal Performance
Instrumental Performance

Well played, but the vibe is a little retro as opposed to contemporary, feel-wise.
