New to Taxi, Just wanted to see if ya'll know of a good listing for this tune. It's not quite done yet but nearly there. Any feedback, tweaks, whatever, to make it a better fit for anything you heard would be greatly appreciated. Song in the link below.

Hey Nate
Unfortunately recording a song and then trying to squeeze it into a listing usually doesn't work in this business...
I only listened to the first 60 seconds, felt like one long intro.
Generaly you need to be into the beat/rythmn/hook RIGHT AWAY
The vocal phrasing in this tune isn't what is current in Indie, faster Hip-Hop-ish phrasing is more the norm.
I would save this recording for yourself, find a listing that you think is in your wheelhouse and start another from scratch.
Cheers,
Cass

The best way to approach it is write for the Listings and not try to fit square pegs into round holes.
Your song doesn't sound very contemporary which is what they usually want so I would listen to some of the references and similar playlists of current music then try again

Thanks. We just joined so we don't have much yet. And we've heard the cliche of square peg in the round hole, we get it. So going forward we will do adaptive writing. Just wanted to see if anyone knew of anything. And I'll put the surprise that's in the song in the beginning i guess so it doesn't feel like a "long intro".
