Need help interpreting a review
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2019 10:08 am
Hi all,
I usually have a "yep, you're right" feeling when I get a return, but in this case I was really surprised! I would love some help figuring out what the track is lacking and what I can do to improve it. Is it just too indie chill? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Here's the listing:
[highlight]I pitched my version of Joy To The World, which can be found on my hosting page - https://www.taximusic.com/hosting/home. ... isemachine[/highlight]
Here's the feedback: "Your song didn't showcase a strong enough emotion, vibe, or hook appeal. Adding more character and distinctiveness to your arrangement and style would stand out more."
Thanks!

PUBLIC DOMAIN CHRISTMAS SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Film/TV Music Publisher for several $2,500 - $5,000 placements in a Christmas Special on a Major Cable Network!
Contemporary recordings, recently recorded/Retro-sounding recordings, AND legitimate Vintage recordings are all fair game for this request! They’re simply looking for great Songs in All Tempos that fit the general stylistic ballpark and range of acts and Songs like:
“O Holy Night” by Celine Dion
"The First Noel” by Josh Groban ft. Faith Hill
"Silent Night” by Bing Crosby
Songs should be in one of the following genres:
• Adult Contemporary
• Singer/Songwriter
• Operatic
• Classical Crossover/Easy Listening
• Jazz
• Old School, Classic Soul/R&B
Please submit Covers of Public Domain Christmas Songs that will resonate emotionally with listeners getting into the Holiday Spirit! Your production styles can vary, but the Client is mainly interested in hearing Songs with more organic instrumentation, NOT Songs that are particularly Pop-driven or trendy-sounding.
TAXI Tip: Please stick to the original melodies and lyrics of the Songs you choose to cover so that they are familiar to listeners. If you stray from the original melodies, your Covers may not be as appealing or usable.
