Hello everyone! Hope you are all well.
This is a tune a wrote a while back. I feel like this track has a retro sound but is still sort of EDM. Not sure. What do you guys think? Kinda having a hard time figuring out which listing I should submit it to.

I appreciate any feedback. Even about the song itself. Right now Im re writing the verses to make them less wordy but even after thats done I dont know what I should classify it under.
Thank You!

Nice track! I got an "Of Monsters and Men" vibe. It has a Pop Edm vibe because of the rises and straight ahead type beat. With that genre in mind I'm wondering whether a more female vocal dominant version might work better, still with the male back and forth?
Nice work you are doing.

Very nice song. At first I thought maybe Electronica but the more I listened I really thing it’s fits in the Pop genre.

The drum track & synth sounds, for these Old-Guy ears, had me thinking Madonna-esque... which puts it in 80's pop/rock... right?
The track sounds good & solid; but I wouldn't think it would fit any listings with the word "Contemporary" in it.
My 2 cents, for what that's worth.
I don't think any of my songs will sound Contemporary - until they actually invent a Time-Travel machine!!
"Shall I set '
The Way-Back Machine', Mr. Peabody?"
"Yes, Sherman - let's visit John, Paul, George, and Ringo in their Rubber Soul days..."
(don't we all wish?!)

Thank you Lester, DT, and Peter! I appreciate you guys taking time to listen and write. Based on the comments I'm going to make some modifications to the instrumentation on the track. Thank you guys again!

It sounds like Pop to me, not EDM. In my limited experience, EDM is more focused on creating a dance experience, and tends to be really intense. Your tune sounds more like a light singable pop tune that borrows some EDM elements like the risers.
nice tune- good luck

Thank you nicotina. I definitely agree. I think im gonna take out the risers and add more acoustic elements to make it a more straight ahead pop song.
