Sunny Days Don't End

I'm thinking of the above as suitable for this:

MODERN POP SINGER/SONGWRITER SONGS with Male Vocals are needed by a Major Label A&R Executive
for a Chart-topping, Grammy-nominated Group working on their upcoming album!
This Executive is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that could be found on a playlist with:
"If You Ever Forget That You Love Me" by Isak Danielson
"Happy For You" by Lukas Graham
"What They'll Say About Us" by FINNEAS
Please send top-notch Pop Singer/Songwriter Songs with captivating melodies, instantly memorable
choruses, and mainstream hit potential. Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples
you use are fresh and modern. Compelling, well-performed vocals paired with honest, well-crafted
lyrics could help get this Executive and the Group excited about cutting your songs.
TAXI TIP: This A&R Executive is willing to listen to stripped-down or fully produced demos! That
said, your Songs have to sound super strong – like hits in the making – especially if you’re
submitting stripped-down demos!
Your production and recording quality needs to be clean, clear, well-balanced, and good enough to
represent your Songs well. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as
a general guide for tone, texture, and overall vibe.

Regards,

GO

This certainly isn't a mainstream song; the production is rather peculiar, more like underground, and it relies heavily on your voice, which is very specific. It is highly unlikely that a some random grammy-winning artist could or would match it.

Apart from that, the production is rather muffled and fuzzy; you'll need a much better sound quality to have any shot at all for a listing like this.

I have to agree with the others that it's not right or ready for that listing. But there is something very cool about the song and its off-center vibe, though, and I feel like it's worth working on to get the right blend so that it could work for the right listing at some point. For example, I can imagine a female singer with a cool acoustic-guitar based backing band taking this to the next level. Keep creating! DK

Without going into detail, I have to say that I think your song falls short in many of these departments.
I'll raise Graham's 'many' and say it falls short in all of them

I can't find any redeeming qualities other than the lads might have saved you $5

Dude, you used Autotune. It's a 100/100 in my book.

But in all seriousness, I think the song is cool. It will not work for a pop submission.

Many thanks for all feedback.

An ounce of honesty is worth any amount of right-on fakery.

Apologies for any offence caused.

Right on,
