Original Classic Adult Contemporary Songs forward

[RPaul]

I'm stoked to report that a brand new remix of a song I wrote back in the late 90s with Rebecca Hanneman called "Love Holds On" was forwarded for the recent "classic adult contemporary songs" listing. The song was the title song from my first album, and I also included an up-tempo pop version on another of my albums, but this version takes the vocals from that first recording, replaces the instrumental tracks, and does a new ballad-style mix that actually comes the closest to my original vision for the song of any of the recordings. It can be found as "Love Holds On (AC Ballad Remix)" on my profile at http://www.taxi.com/RickPaulMusic.

The listing read:

ORIGINAL CLASSIC ADULT CONTEMPORARY SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed QUICKLY for a NON-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor Placement in an Indie Feature Film.

NOTE: TAXI normally doesn't take requests for music for indie films unless there is a sync fee paid to the music creators. This request was made early in the film's production, hence the sync fees haven't been defined yet. If there are any, they will likely be on the smaller side, with most of the income earned via P.R.O. royalties paid down the road. However, this request comes from an excellent Music Supervisor who uses music from TAXI's members. We think this is a great chance to (possibly) make some money upfront, and maybe more importantly, it's an opportunity for this extremely busy Music Supervisor to get to know you and your music (and at the very least, make some performance income).

They’re looking for Songs in All Tempos that would fit in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:

"Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts
“You Needed Me" by Anne Murray
“Leader of the band" by Dan Fogelberg
“Midnight Blue” by Melissa Manchester

Please send them original A/C songs that have a genuine '70s-'80s sound and style. If you are creating Songs for this request, having era-appropriate sounds and production will likely work in your favor! Please be sure your vocals are well performed from start to finish, with solid, CLASSIC-style deliveries. The more authentic your Songs sound to the era, the better!

NOTE: Your submissions can be actual vintage masters recorded in the '70s or '80s, or they can be Songs recently recorded and just inspired by those eras.
Lyric themes can vary, but should be something you might have heard on the A/C Charts in the 1970s or 1980s. You’d be smart to avoid references to brands, places, profanity, and specific names for this request. 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.
These will be Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placements, so you’ll get 100% of the Sync Fee (if applicable), you’ll keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership, and you’ll also get 100% of any applicable performance royalties. No Publisher splits!

You must own or control the Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - Short critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST) on Wednesday, November 20th, 2019. TAXI #Y191120AC
