Dear Passengers,
Songs about love (R&B and Country songs) seems to be the theme for what the first two of our listing companies need in this batch. And the third opportunity is for Classic Rock songs for a Non-Exclusive Music Library. If you've got what these companies need, then keep reading...
HEARTBREAKING, CONTEMPORARY R&B BALLADS with Male, Female, or Duet Vocalsare needed by the CEO of a Music Library who is also a Music Supervisor. He wants emotionally touching Down-to-Mid-Tempo Ballads in the stylistic wheelhouse of artists like Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Tank, Fantasia, etc. Please listen to the following songs to get in the general ballpark of the vibe he needs:
"Do Better" by Chris Brown and Brandy
"Memories" by Ne-Yo
"Side Effects of You" by Fantasia
Quoting the source: "Songs need to be about losing in love, relationships gone bad, missing a love, etc., etc., etc. I need material that's so catchy you'll be humming it all day long. I want to immediately connect to the lyrics and the voice delivering them."
Submit great, contemporary R&B Ballads that deliver a sincere vocal performance that's full of emotion. Songs should be melodically compelling, with an emotion-filled chorus that makes listeners feelwhat the song is about.
Lyrics should focus on heartbreak in a fresh, yet universal way, avoiding references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do not copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).
This library works with some great music supervisors and estimates sync fees up to $1,000, depending on the ultimate placement. You'll also be added to their Exclusive catalog, and they onlytake 25% of your publishing! You'll keep 100% of the writer's share and 75% of the publishing. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. All Songs will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a person hand-picked by the Company. No full critiques. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD no later than 11am (PST), on Saturday, November 29th, 2014. TAXI #U141129RB
HEARTFELT, LOST LOVE-THEMED CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY BALLADS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Grammy Award Winning Producer who's currently working with several youthful artists who need great songs! Give him well-crafted Down-to-Mid-Tempo Ballads in the stylistic wheelhouse of artists like Hunter Hayes, Danielle Bradbery, Dan + Shay, etc., etc. Quoting the Producer: "I want heartfelt songs with themes about lost love, or what could have been, but it must be youthful in nature." Submit honest, relatable songs with captivating melodies, engaging hooks, and a chorus that will hit you right in the heart. Songs about the pain of teenage or young love will be right on the mark for this pitch. Acoustic demos can work for this pitch, but your recording quality (even for stripped-down demos) needs to be clean, clear, and good enough to represent your song well. Fully produced demos are also welcomed, as always. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Monday, November 24, 2014. TAXI #S141124CB
ORIGINAL, CLASSIC ROCK sounding SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a new, Non-Exclusive Music Library building a competitive catalog for Film and TV placements. This company has already been very successful with its existing catalog, and is launching a new one, so it's a good chance for you to get in on the ground floor! They want authentic sounding Mid-to-Up-Tempo Classic Rock Songs in the general stylistic ballpark of bands like AC/DC, Deep Purple, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Led Zeppelin, etc. Give them Rockin' performances with real sounding rock instrumentation that sounds like an authentic band, not a studio project. Stiff or MIDI sounding performances won't work for this pitch. Your vocal performance should have a confident deliver that's full of Rock and Roll attitude. Lyric themes can vary, but should be universal and PG-Rated. Avoid specific names, places, dates, times, brands, etc. Do not copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, and tone. This Library offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You'll get 50% of any sync fees and 100% of the Writer's share. They'll get 50% of the sync fee and 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control 100% of the Master and Copyright to submit to this pitch. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Monday, November 24, 2104.
