Post by jasminecrowe » Thu Feb 19, 2015 10:06 pm

I got my first forward with Taxi this week to a major music library with one of the songs I submitted and got all 3 of my songs forwarded to a MAJOR label seeking new artists!! :shock: :D I'm so excited I had to post!! I write, sing, perform and produce all the songs in my home studio so I feel very encouraged to keep working harder and harder at my craft! :) Hard work pays off - build it and they will come... ;)

Thanks all! Here are the two listings:

CONTEMPORARY, TOP 40 sounding POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a GREAT Film/TV Music Licensing Company with tons of placements in shows you'd want to hear your music in, plus some feature film placements as well! They're eagerly hunting for current sounding Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the stylistic wheelhouse of Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Demi Lovato, Adam Lambert, etc., etc., etc. Give them immediately catchy songs that have a fun, energetic, and emotionally upbeat vibe. Songs need to have a solid structure, great beats, cool melodic and lyrical hooks, and of course, a killer chorus. Great vocals will get them excited about signing and pitching your songs for high-profile placements. Lyric themes can be about anything that would typically be found on a Pop record (love, heartbreak, empowerment, etc.), but should be universal, avoiding specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for feel, texture, tone, and vibe. This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the songs you submit aren't already signed to any other Libraries or Catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50, the Company gets the Publisher's share, and you'll keep 100% of the Writer's share. You must own or control 100% of your master and composition rights. 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, January 19, 2015. TAXI #S150119PO

The song is called "Supernova"

MALE or FEMALE, HOT A/C ARTISTS with a CURRENT POP APPEAL are needed by a Major Record Label that's actively on the hunt for great new artists to add to their roster. They want amazing artists that could share the stage with the likes of Sam Smith, Emile Sande, Adam Levine, etc., etc., etc. In other words, they're not looking for artists who sound like those artists, but have a sound that would fall loosely in that category and appeal to fans that like those referenced artists. Quoting the source: "The ideal artists should showcase a sound and style that's stands out distinctively, in it's own lane. Not looking for a run of the mill singer, but true artists who that would appeal World Wide." Submit songs that highlight your fresh, unique style and sound, with plenty of character and personality. Great songs with solid hooks, memorable melodies, and a chorus that's ready for radio are the order of the day for this pitch. A fanbase, CD sales, and/or touring experience is a huge plus, but not absolutely necessary. Production quality needs to be good enough to represent you as an artist well. The specific deal points will be negotiated on a deal-by-deal basis. Please submit two to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics, bio, and photo. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a TAXI screener handpicked by the Label - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than Tuesday, January 27, 2015. TAXI #Y150127AC

The three songs are: Supernova, Black Widow, and Phoenix Rising found here: http://soundcloud.com/jasminecrowe

fwiw: listened and enjoyed all 3 tracks. It's no wonder they got forwarded:
imho: excellent lyric/writing; voice/phrasing/performance; song-structure...
and all the other elements are top-shelf.
Cheers to a stellar future, really! ;)
