Ha. I did this exact same thing for a project in college using echonest and linear regression. In the end, we were unable to find a single statistically significant coefficient. We ended up having to change our project completely. Kudos to your team for finding something there

I also did something similar in college but due to similar issues noted pivoted to genre classification with extracted audio features. With that though I was actually able to get a pretty accurate classifier going.
