What genre is this?
Hello everyone! Hope you are all well.
This is a tune a wrote a while back. I feel like this track has a retro sound but is still sort of EDM. Not sure. What do you guys think? Kinda having a hard time figuring out which listing I should submit it to.

I appreciate any feedback. Even about the song itself. Right now Im re writing the verses to make them less wordy but even after thats done I dont know what I should classify it under.
Thank You!

Re: What genre is this?
Nice track! I got an "Of Monsters and Men" vibe. It has a Pop Edm vibe because of the rises and straight ahead type beat. With that genre in mind I'm wondering whether a more female vocal dominant version might work better, still with the male back and forth?
Nice work you are doing.

Very nice song. At first I thought maybe Electronica but the more I listened I really thing it’s fits in the Pop genre.

Re: What genre is this?
The drum track & synth sounds, for these Old-Guy ears, had me thinking Madonna-esque... which puts it in 80's pop/rock... right?
The track sounds good & solid; but I wouldn't think it would fit any listings with the word "Contemporary" in it.
My 2 cents, for what that's worth.
I don't think any of my songs will sound Contemporary - until they actually invent a Time-Travel machine!!
"Shall I set 'The Way-Back Machine', Mr. Peabody?"
"Yes, Sherman - let's visit John, Paul, George, and Ringo in their Rubber Soul days..."
(don't we all wish?!)

Thank you Lester, DT, and Peter! I appreciate you guys taking time to listen and write. Based on the comments I'm going to make some modifications to the instrumentation on the track. Thank you guys again!

Re: What genre is this?
It sounds like Pop to me, not EDM. In my limited experience, EDM is more focused on creating a dance experience, and tends to be really intense. Your tune sounds more like a light singable pop tune that borrows some EDM elements like the risers.
nice tune- good luck

Re: What genre is this?
Thank you nicotina. I definitely agree. I think im gonna take out the risers and add more acoustic elements to make it a more straight ahead pop song.
