Feedback for S210502ND
Posted: Tue Oct 05, 2021 12:17 pm
Hello all, I am sharing with you some feedback I received for listing S21050ND. Here is the listing:
Here is the feedback I received:Several INDIE/ALTERNATIVE SONGS with a THROWBACK Vibe and Male or Female Vocals are needed by an extremely busy
Music Library with a tremendously long list of killer placements in Hit TV Shows!
This Library is on the hunt for a bunch of Songs in All Tempos that are in the general stylistic ballpark of these references we got
directly from them:
"Little Uneasy" by Fazerdaze
"Dreams Tonite" by Alvvays
"Off My Mind" by Hazel English
Please submit top-notch Indie/Alternative Songs with a retro/throwback-influenced vibe and sound. Your submissions should have
inviting rhythms, memorable melodies, well-crafted lyrics, and lots of Indie/Alternative charm. You'd be wise to stick with generally
similar instrumentation to the references: organic-sounding drums, jangly guitars, dreamy synths, etc. Any virtual instruments or
samples you use need to be fresh and high-quality. Well-performed, almost ethereal vocals could be the cherry on top!
TAXI Tip: Having a retro/throwback influence does NOT mean that your Songs should sound dated. Marry retro-inspired
rhythms, sounds, and elements with current-sounding production techniques, and you could be on the right track!
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity are strongly recommended. Do NOT copy the
referenced tracks in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is
needed.

Aside from the "left of center" comment making absolutely no sense for a listing for Indie music, it is politically disturbing rhetoric. I would be very, very disappointed if TAXI was some sort of ridiculous right-wing pyramid scheme. Is this sort of unprofessional feedback supposed to elicit some sort of reaction? It would seem so. It's the kind of veiled response that makes a person wonder whether the "screeners" will always find some way to reject a submission from some one that doesn't fall in line. Maybe I should "like" the TAXI TV YouTube channel postings more. Please let me know your thoughts in this topic. And, I would prefer not to get some of your weird "cartoon cult" spam or be trolled by your "internet forum tough-guy attack dogs" like I did on the previous thread that you can see here. Unless of course you removed this content, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.I think you could improve this song by
I dig the song and the vocals. Unfortunately, this is a bit too traditional, left of center and festive sounding. Stylistically this is just not the right sound or vibe. I'd save this for a more relevant request.
