My first forward

I joined Taxi about a month ago and received a forward on my first submission, yay! It's helped me to listen to other people's successfully forwarded tracks, to get an idea of the type of songs/production that make it through, so I thought it would help to post my track.

Here's the brief -

MAJOR PUBLISHING COMPANY needs AMAZING SONGWRITERS in the style of Kara Dioguardi, Sia, Bonnie McKee, etc., to write songs for/with HUGE POP ARTISTS. QUOTING THE SOURCE: "We want someone to come and write songs, and possibly sing the hook for them as wellÉ This could be a great opportunity for the right songwriter to have access to BIG artists. We want to hear clever songs with KILLER hooks." They're looking for extremely well-crafted songwriting with very strong and indelible melodies. Your fresh hooks are key here! All tempos are welcome. Your vocal and instrumental demo presentation absolutely must be top-notch! Please submit two to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Friday, November 9, 2012. TAXI #Y121109PO

Here's my track, All Messed Up -

Just listening on a really crappy computer tower speaker in my office, but even on this abysmal "sound system" (does a single 2-inch speaker even count as a sound system?), I can see why you got the forward here. And this appears to be a really high-bar ultra-competitive listing, so mucho congrats to you! Something like this could be a great springboard for you!! Hope to hear more good news from you later.
