Was great to get to know so many Taxi members over the weekend and learn about all the resources I didn't even realize were available to us. This being one of them!

My first submission is for the listing S211111AP

MODERN ALT-POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Music Licensing Company that specializes in music for content creators as well as TV shows and Film projects!
This Company is searching for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that could be found on a playlist with the following references we got directly from them:

"Therefore I Am" by Billie Eilish
"Nothing Quite Like It" by Danger Twins
"bad guy" by Billie Eilish
"Thing of Beauty" by Danger Twins

I had already started working on a song using "Therefore I Am" as a reference so I was glad to see this brief come up! Here's a link to our track. Mostly looking for any feedback regarding the mix/master but open to hearing other suggestions too. Thanks!!

It's too soft. In fact, I can't hear it at all.

Hey Glenn,

Nice chatting with you this past weekend! Your track doesn't seem to be there on Soundcloud.

Glenn, Wow! If you told me that you got Billie for the track, I'd believe it! :shock:

I especially like the line "Showing you the door" (slam). Along with that thought, the transition into chorus 2 seems stronger than the transition into chorus 1. It feels to me as if chorus 1 isn't being set up properly, the music drops a bit at the end of the verse, but the chorus doesn't hit with a bang the way chorus 2 does. Maybe add the same background vocals to "smack" into both choruses? IDK. Other than that, I think the mix works. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, that sounds really good to me. I'm not a huge Billie fan, but I've heard her stuff and I think this is pretty close, maybe not as strange (hopefully a good thing).
