SOUL, Feel Good Instrumentals & Positive Hip Hop Needed

Got some Retro-sounding Soul Songs, Feel Good Instrumentals, or Positive Hip Hop Songs?

CONTEMPORARY, RETRO-Inspired SOUL SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by an excellent Film/TV Music Library that has a TON of awesome placements in many high-end Films and TV Shows. They’re searching for soulfully expressive, Mid-to-Up Tempo Songs that could be found on the same playlist as artists/songs like (but not limited to):

“Fool For You” by Cee lo Green ft. Melanie Fiona
“Marvin Gaye” by Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor
“Valerie” by Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse

Give them well-crafted Songs that have all the retro appeal of the references mentioned above. Your submission should have Motown era rhythms, catchy melodies, captivating lyrics and a great big, infectious chorus. You’d be wise to have a really strong vocal performance that’s full of attitude and soul! Lyrics that don’t have references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places could make your song more appealing.

Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the songs you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Any sync fees will be split 50/50 with the Company. You’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit.  Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Wednesday, June 21st, 2017.  TAXI #S170621RS

FUN, FEEL-GOOD TOP 40 INSTRUMENTALS are needed by an A-List Film/TV Music Publishing Company that’s always landing lots of upper crust placements. They’re looking for fresh, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals in the stylistic ballpark of Artists/Songs like (but not limited to), Pharrell, Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the following references they gave us to get yourself in the general ballpark of what they’re looking for:

“Happy” by Pharrell
“Moves Like Jagger” By Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera
“Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift

Although the references have vocals, please submit only Instrumentals for this pitch.
Give them well-crafted Instrumentals that have an emotionally up-beat feel, with catchy melodies, rhythmic beats, and a cool sounding ear-candy through-out. Your overall production should be current sounding (not dated, please) and have a slick, polished, Top 40 sound.

All submissions should be at between 3:00 and 5:00 minutes long, give or take. Non-Faded/Buttoned endings with a natural ring out will work best. Do not copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as general guide for overall feel, texture and tone. Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

CONTEMPORARY, POSITIVE RAP/HIP-HOP SONGS with Male Vocals are needed by a Music Licensing Company that’s not looking for “typical library music”. They’re looking for music that is either from real artists, or sounds so convincing that you can’t tell that it’s not from a working artist or band. They’re always pitching to competitive, high-end placements, and they want music that doesn’t sound like it came from a typical “library.” Please submit fresh sounding Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that could be found on a playlist with acts like (but not limited to):

“Sunday Candy” by Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment
“Black SpiderMan” by Logic ft. Damian Lemar
“Perfect” by J. Cole ft. TLC

Please send them well-crafted Rap/Hip Hop Songs that are rhythmically compelling, with plenty of great hooks (rhythmic, melodic, and lyrical), with a great chorus. Your submission should have a current sounding beat, and a vocal performance that has a confident vocal delivery that’s full of swagger.

Your lyric themes can vary, but should be in the general range of the references and other songs in that ballpark. Universal lyrics will usually work best, so please avoid specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and especially profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced acts in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, tone, and vibe. Also, do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit one to three Instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Friday, June 16th, 2017.  TAXI #S170616PR
