Thanks for submitting the material for the evaluation.
I enjoyed listening to the songs. The lyrics and melodies are quite strong.
I noticed there are no gigs listed in your EPK and was wondering if you perform live now and then?
To give you insight to the scoring scale above, the majority
of artists score in the 2.5 to 3.5 range in the various categories.
Whenever an artist sees a 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 or 3.5 as a score in a certain category (or categories) it means that's an area I feel they need to improve and develop.
When someone sees 4, 4.5 or 5 as their score in a category, that tells them, to me, they are in the professional league and have strong potential. It's a validation from a pro, letting you know you are doing a fine job.
Every artist should work hard to earn 4.5 to 5 in every category.
It's a very competitive business and people averaging in the 3's (or less) will probably not get too far without a great deal of improvement and development.
I don't give out 4's and 5's easily, so any of those you see, you have earned. Well done!
One thing to keep in mind, at least for your songs designated as "Singles" (the songs geared towards winning over radio stations and record company executives) - try to keep Intros to under 10 seconds and try to reach the Chorus between the 40 and 43 second mark.
If it's 44 seconds or longer and the Chorus did not kick in yet, you should edit the song's arrangement accordingly.
In rap music, the chorus can come in at the 55 to 58 second mark or so, since the verses are traditionally longer, compared to pop and rock music.
Foley Entertainment could be a great resource for your career.
Feel free to e-mail me and tell me more about your goals for 2007.
Let's begin a dialogue and see if there's a way we can work together.
I hope to hear from you very soon.
Best wishes,
Eugene Foley
