some forwards for me too, a newbie !

[jensen]

I only joined a few months ago, and submitted 18 songs altogether for different listings, anyway I more or less forgot about them, or maybe even thought I'd been forgotten and was kinda wondering what happens next, do I try again etc, with the same songs or what ?well this past two weeks the listing results started to roll in by email, and I'm thrilled and pumped up to say I got 15 forwards out of 18 submissions, and even the songs that were returned got really good remarks and points, some straight nines even ! just that I'd put them in for an unsuitable listing,so needless to say I'm thrilled to bits I joined Taxi, and cant wait for the rally, less tan a month to go, yeahhh !!Jensen

This was only one of the critiques I got, the others were all from different screeners but fairly similar,Listing # S070824SS Title: Every part of me N/A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (10=best) Music Lyrics Marketability Arrangement Production Engineering Musicianship Lead Vocal The vocal performance is incredible expressive, and the structural arrangement feels very solid. The lyrical theme and imagery are obviously very sincere, but perhaps a little too typical for this particular listing. They're after lyrical content (and a stylistic approach) that is a bit edgier and/or slightly left of center. Status: Forward Return Title: Rainbow N/A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (10=best) Music Lyrics Marketability Arrangement Production Engineering Musicianship Lead Vocal Yeah, this is definitely more appropriate for what they're after. I worry a little that by repeating "I am a rainbow" so often during the chorus it ends up sounding/feeling overly repetitious, but in every other way this is a truly wonderful song and recording. Status: Forward Return Title: Someone like me N/A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (10=best) Music Lyrics Marketability Arrangement Production Engineering Musicianship Lead Vocal Love the way this one builds in intensity as the structure unfolds. Superb vocal performance. There is nothing I could possibly add that would make what you've already written any better. Great stuff!!! Status: Forward Return Style On target for this listing Hard to classify Not close enough to what listing asked for Not "current" sounding Style not consistent enough from song to song for an artist pitch"Every Part Of Me" lacks the edgy, slightly left of center stylistic sensibility required, but the other two songs seem very compatible with the artists mentioned in the listing.Overall CommentsTony - This is easily the best stuff I've heard here at Taxi all day or all week for that matter, and I'm more than happy to forward at least two of the songs without hesitation. "Every Part of Me" seems to lack the stylistic edginess they're after, and the lyrical theme and imagery seem a little too obvious or typical for their particular requirements as well. Bio CommentsFor an "artist oriented" listing of this nature it's always best to include a bio and photograph. The main reason(s) you were or were not forwarded for this listing is:Incredibly well-written material that is performed with obvious skill and conviction.
