New Pop vocal song contract!

Post by JohnnyP » Mon Apr 06, 2020 4:14 pm

Just got an email a few hours ago regarding the song below.


https://soundcloud.com/jp-pearson-1/liv ... ve/s-wfyIr

It's been forwarded a few times and I guess the last one stuck! Exclusive 5 year 50/50 with opportunity to pitch new songs directly. I think it was from this listing but not sure..🤞



"A BUNCH of POP SONGS (in a wide range) with Male or Female Vocals are needed QUICKLY by a successful Music Licensing Company for the Music Supervisor of a new TV Series!

Our client is looking for several Songs in All Tempos that would fit on a playlist with the following references:

“My Style” by Beginners

“Out Of My System” by Youngr

“Boots” by Leony

“you should see me in a crown” by Billie Eilish

NOTE: They’re looking for a bunch of Pop Songs ranging from upbeat party Songs to emotional relationship Songs, to Songs that are just plain badass or empowering!

Please submit fresh Pop Songs that fire on all cylinders: rhythmically, melodically, and lyrically. Your submissions should have solid Pop Song structure and high production value. Please be sure your vocals are well-performed and on par with the references mentioned above.

They didn’t specify any lyric themes; however, lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity are recommended as they’re easier to use. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control 100% of 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 other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, March 15th, 2020. TAXI # S200315PS

Had you posted a different track or mix of that song before?
Sounds a bit familiar - way to land that one!

Thank you Tom! I appreciate that. It got a few returns before finding it's home, mostly due to me submitting to incorrect listings :roll: . I'm glad it found a place. Best, John

Go your own way! Out of necessity, drive, gumption, whatever.. don't let anyone tell you you can't!
It's not what goes into your music that's important, it's what comes out the speakers

Great song, and a nice, bright contrast to the "contagion"-themed stuff required at the moment. Congrats!

Tom
Thank you Tom! Hope you're doing well. Best, John
