nelsnThe following are reviews and raves from Taxi, the independent A&R screening service that reviews and, more importantly, filters the music that major and independent record companies receive. These record labels seek out specific types of music and artists by soliciting them through the Taxi service. Taxi reviews and forwards only those select acts that are outstanding enough to be seriously considered by the record label that is seeking them. After submitting his music to this service, Nelson's music has been forwarded to several important record companies.

Here's what Taxi's expert opinion had to say...

Song Title: "She Can't Hang"

Comments: Sounds really good... very listener friendly. Cool pre-chorus and the chorus is pretty strong. I like the arrangement. Voice sounds great- nice performance.

Song Title: "Arms of a Woman"

Comments: Again, cool arrangement. ...I think this is more of an album track rather than a single- but still very strong for that.

Song Title: "Blue Shadow"

Comments: ...vocal effect in 1st verse is cool- engaging. Lyrics are well written- good imagery, phrasing... song builds well, chorus is solid- title comes through well. Production is really good!

Overall Comments: Nelson, I really like the sound you have captured here. Your voice is very strong and the writing shows a good deal of sophistication and artistry. The packaging is cool and you have your image worked out. Good luck.

Bio Comments: Excellent presentation.

The main reason you were forwarded for this listing is: The material sounds great and your image is hip.

Record Label Forwarded To: ELEKTRA records!!!
