Contemporary Instrumental Cue
Hi Everybody
I am looking for feedback on this track and specifics on whether it would fit the listing below. Track was made in the style of DJ Snake/ Bieber "Let me love you" which is one of the references given in the listing.
Here is the track: https://soundcloud.com/javi-olivencia/its-not-too-late
Thanks for listening!
CONTEMPORARY POP INSTRUMENTALS CUES are needed by a very well-respected Music Library with a solid track record of Film and TV placements. This company ran a lot of listings with TAXI about 10 years ago, and placed a bunch of music from our members. They’ve recently started a New Company, so this is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor. This company pays an Upfront Fee to Composers!
They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Pop Instrumental Cues that could generally fit in the stylistic wheelhouse of these references:
“What Lovers Do” by Maroon 5 feat. SZA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NmGGGlHpxQ
“Let Me Love You” by DJ Snake ft. Justin Bieber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMs0GnYze34
“Mama” by Jonas Blue ft. William Singe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPTfXwPf_HM
Although the references have vocals, this pitch is for Instrumentals only. Please submit fresh, well-crafted Instrumental Cues that have a contemporary Pop sound (not dated, please!) that’s built around a central melodic motif that adds and subtracts instruments and elements as the Cue progresses to keep it from sounding too repetitive or one-dimensional. Forward movement and a developmental arc will help you win them over!
Your submissions should be about 2 minutes long (give or take), with Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings. Please Do NOT copy the referenced acts or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

Re: Contemporary Instrumental Cue
Javi,
I think you nailed it- this really sounds like contemporary pop to me. I expected Justin Bieber to start singing at any moment. I did an A/B compare to the ala's, and your levels and eq sounded pretty close to me, and your drums and other samples are pretty close.

Re: Contemporary Instrumental Cue
Nice track. Good long reverb and samples.
This is not my genre though. I'm actually having a crack at it myself.
My only thought for what it is worth is the hand clap sample could be tighter rather than the one you have. Also, maybe a little bit more variety in the ear candy to keep it moving through.
Don't worry if you don't agree. Your track sounds great.
