Hi guys!
My song was rejected. Can you help me with your opinions?
It was rejected with next message:
This submission does not meet our general commercial composition/arrangement standard, unfortunately.
Thank you very much!
Hey Tim! Take this with a grain of salt, as I donāt want to speak for the reviewers, but here are my brief thoughts.
This track sounds like a toned down EDM/trance song. Though it sounds fine in terms of production and mixing, I think itās simply not a great fit for a stock music site, at least one like AJ.
I just said this recently to another artist, but I think it applies here as well. Basically, where does this track fit in? Itās not really upbeat enough to be an energetic romper, but itās too aggressive to be your typical understated corporate motivator. What would be the use for such a track? Iām not saying there isnāt one, simply that it is a fairly niche market and not an āAJ trackā.
Honestly, I donāt think thereās too many technical issues here. Overall the composition works as what it is, but it just doesnāt really fit with the typical idea of āstock musicā.
Anyways let me know if you want something clarified or if you wanted some more in-depth thoughts, I just woke up so am a little hazy. Good luck with future tracks!

Dear SethKL! Thank you for your opinion.
This music I downloaded into the category of āWorld Beat / Island tropicalā.
I thought, and decided that this track suits most as āpopā. I again worked on quality, put some deficiencies and sent again to the category of āpopā I hope this time will be.
Thank you!
