Asian Pop song forwarded

Post by TerrellBurt » Wed Jun 24, 2015 8:44 pm

Hey guys. The Asian Pop song that I rapped on entitled "B U NIQ" got forwarded to a music library. Thanks to Matt VanderBoegh for giving me feedback on the P2P board and to Scott Horton for giving the song a killer mix! You can hear the song either on my TAXI homepage or at https://soundcloud.com/kazzabala/b-u-ni ... -terrell-b on Soundcloud. I have included the English lyric translation below. The song is in Taglish, a combination of Tagalog (The common language in The Philippines), and English.

CONTEMPORARY ASIAN POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals in any Asian dialect are needed by a very active Music Library for placements in both Film and TV. Please submit catchy, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of acts like BIGBANG, Psy, Girls’ Generation, etc., etc., etc. Quoting the source: “This type of material is fairly hard to come by, and we figure TAXI might be the place to find it. We need fun, rhythmic Pop songs in any Asian dialect (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.).” Give them rhythmically and melodically compelling songs that have a polished Pop sound, with plenty of great hooks, and a super catchy chorus. Your vocal performance should be well-performed. Lyric themes can vary, but should be consistent with themes and concepts that are typical for the Asian genre you’re presenting. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and vibe. This company offers an Exclusive 50/50 deal. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. All sync fees are split 50/50. Please be sure the songs you submit to this opportunity are NOT already signed to any other Libraries or Catalogs. You must own or control the Master and Copyright. 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 on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than Friday, May 29, 2015. TAXI #Y150529AP

Here are the lyrics in English:

Verse 1
All eyes are looking
Wondering why
I’m different, not like the others
To your left and to your right
Raised eyebrows
Walk confidently, go ahead don’t be shy

Pre-Hook
The person that I see in the mirror
The one and only; incomparable
No need to be shy about it
Be yourself, be You-nique

Hook
Listen to your own melody
Who are they to judge you?
B U-NIQ
La-lala-la-la

Verse 2
My clothes may be flashy and have a different cut
Ear piercing, outdoorsy leather boots
Different taste in music, unlike songs with mass appeal
Just because it’s trendy, it doesn’t mean that it will quickly appeal to me

Pre-Hook
The person that I see in the mirror
The one and only; incomparable
There’s nothing to be embarrassed about
Follow your heart, be You-nique

Hook
Listen to your own melody
Who are they to judge you?
B U-NIQ
La-lala-la-la

Rap 1
Gap in my teeth, I still grin
Pleasant inside my own skin
Yeah, I'm feeling the energy
Because I'm free to be me

Rap 2
B.E. U, to the N I Q
Who are they to tell me what to do?
Many are staring, like specks in my vision
I don’t care, just doing mah thing

Bridge
I may not be like them, my personality is different
I may not be trendy, sometimes I can be a bit of a weirdo
I know what I want, don’t force me to
Go with your flow, It doesn’t matter if
The world revolves in a different direction
What matters is that
I love myself, I’ll stay true to myself

Hook
Listen to your own melody
Different tastes, not always the same
La-lala-la-la (4x)
B U NIQ
La-lala-la-la

Thanks Don. Can't take the credit for that since I don't speak Tagalog lol. My co-writer did an amazing job!

Glad to see the update it got forwarded! No big surprise though as the writing was spot on from the start. Hope it gets signed quickly.
