Hey there Stew Cutler, I think the guitar playing sounded really phenomenal and full of soul but unfortunately your song doesn't quite fit any of my playlists. My roadtrip playlist features classic and indie rock tracks with vocals, and the type of R&B and soul I'm looking for would be more modern and with vocals. Keep up the great work but I'm afraid I'm not able to add your track to any of my playlists at this time.
Hi Stew Cutler and Tom Wilson, I'll be turning down your track for now because unfortunately my rock playlist focuses on much more aggressive and gritty sound and leans more towards metal. My R&B playlist leans more towards a hip hop/urban feel so this won't be a good match there either.
The instrumentation is very well crafted and demonstrates a remarkable level of artistic quality. The song flows naturally, maintains good cohesion in its development, and offers a pleasant and well-constructed sound experience. However, for the direction I am currently seeking, I need proposals that generate a stronger impact both lyrically and rhythmically. At this stage, I am prioritizing songs with more memorable messages and a more pronounced sense of movement and energy for my playlist.
Hi there Stew Cutler and Tom Wilson! Thank you for sharing your music! A nice and vibrant tune for sure. Clean work on the production, those strings sound crisp! I do feel like the intro is taking a bit too long. I personally prefer more early action, for audience retention but I felt like waiting here, for the song to really start taking off. I am sure there is an audience for this though, from an older generation. All the best, R
I appreciate the rendition, the rhythm section and the balance of the mix. However, as I listened, the runtime felt a bit long to match the mood of my current selection. Unfortunately, I will not be including this track in my playlist at this time. Wishing you all the best with this release and your musical journey.
Hello! We appreciate your hard work on the production and careful instrumental flow. However it has a bit slow tempo and chill vibe, which doesn't fit well among other faster and stronger/engaging rock songs with more presence of singing that we prefer in our 'rock legends' playlist to be honest π

Impressive guitar playing in this track! Sadly, the arrangement was a little too blues sounding for the more Neo-Soul and Lo-fi sound of my curation. Sorry but I must decline this submission.
Thanks for your submission. I can appreciate the raw and organic energy of this track. Some smooth and nice technical guitar licks going on. For me, I'm not connecting with the recording quality of this one. Just a personal taste thing. Thanks and good luck with the release.
Hi! Thanks for the submission! I really dig your authentic, dynamic sound but for my playlists I prefer a bit darker in tone, minor in key blues, preferably with vocals or a more traditional funk style. Keep it up!
Hi there! Thank you for sharing your song. Sadly, this song isn't quite aligned with my playlist as it is not the Jazz arrangement I'm after. I usually go for an arrangement with chill and contemplative vibes especially no prominent drums when it comes to Jazz arrangements. Other than that, I think the performance delivered really well as this piece was cohesive and has a unique melody. Really sorry to say no for now. Have a nice day! :)

Hi! Thanks for sending us your track 'The way you make me feel'. We love the original and this was a pretty solid cover. The guitar were super tight and catchy but we're looking for something a bit more alt rock for our playlists. Sadly, we will have to decline, but keep sending more music!

Hey Stew Cutler and Tom Wilson, A great cover here! Though for a blues sub, I would have been looking for less of a traditional electric guitar approach on the song, with more soulful vocals as well. For me this song was just a little more classic blues rock than I prefer, though your guitars were really are something I could appreciate. Also, no vocals at all is a hard sell for me. On future blues subs, consider avoiding the electric guitar rock n roll approach, while adding in some soulful vocals as well, to be a better fit with us! For the music -VH
Apologies for declining this track. The song didn't feature any vocals and mainly functioned as an instrumental. For my playlist, I gravitate towards tracks with lyrics and strong vocal parts.
