Unusual Pandemic Song

Hello Taxi members!

I'm somewhat of a Taxi newbie, and I'm looking for suggestions on what genre and sub-genre this new song I wrote and recorded might fall under. It is a pandemic-related song, but it isn't sad or traditionally uplifting. ;) I haven't included any listing because I haven't seen one yet for which this song might work!

I'm also open to any constructive feedback on the mix/mastering!

Thank you all!

Bit like a ballroom thing! Unusual but nice...

However:
- complete track is too long (you'll never sell a 5m track here)
- intro is too long (almost 30s of percussion only? C'mon!)
- turn up the vocal a lot... the point is not to hide it behind the instruments, they need to support it!

this new song I wrote and recorded
and as an aside... soundcloud says it was posted a month ago; in terms of this place, that's not "new", more like ancient history!
