Does this sound anything like the s/s piano a la's?

[Paulie]

Wondering if my solo track sounds at all like the a las, perhaps too similar to Bruno's chord changes?

SINGER/SONGWRITER-Style, PIANO-BASED INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed for a $250, Direct Placement in a TV Show. They’re looking for Down-To-Mid Tempo Instrumental Cues that are and in the stylistic range of the references below:

“When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekzHIouo8Q4

“Hello” by Adele: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQHsXMglC9A

“All of Me ” by John Legend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=450p7goxZqg

Although the references have vocals, this request is for Instrumentals only. Please submit well-crafted, emotionally moving Piano-based Instrumental Cues that sound like they’d work well in a scene about the down side of love; losing someone, heartbreak, etc. Simple is better for this pitch. They’re not looking for Composer of the Year so much as music that nails the mood and emotion. If you’re playing like Liberace, you’re probably overdoing it

Hey Paul,

It does sound like the Bruno M song, yes. Don't know if it's too on the nose or not - the sub-genre (or whatever it is!) has a pretty narrow harmonic and rhythmic range, so I don't know what you're supposed to do; it's the eternal question: how to make a track sound the same but different. One thing you could do is change the key - you are in the same key as the Bruno song, That's easy. Good luck man

[Paulie]

Yeah... habit. I should have changed the key, but C is so common.

The reason I ask is that this track was returned: "Cool vibe but style isn't similar to the example songs mentioned here."

I was a little surprised by that comment. Thanks for listening!
