RE-IMAGINED TRAILER-STYLE COVER SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by an International Music Library that offers a Composer/Artist-friendly deal and specializes in a wide range of Trailer Music. Please listen to the following examples to get an idea of the range of music that could work for this pitch:
Note: This Company ran a few listings with TAXI early last year, which resulted in adding several writers to their roster.
Logan "Grace" Trailer Music Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrHyzuZdNd8

Quoting the company: “We're getting strong interest from the ad agencies [that do Film Trailers] for more Cover Songs -- more than we can produce! It's not necessary to use all lines and lyrics from a song, but it’s very wise to retain the key lyrics and the overall melody. It could be as simple as using one key line from a verse and then a repeated chorus. The energy of the vocal performance and the arrangement should grow stronger through the song, ending with a minimum 30-second climax section.”
Additional info from the company: “Covering older hits is better than covering newer songs. The newer songs from charting artists will prove difficult, if not impossible to gain approval from the publisher/artist.”
Please submit re-imagined Cover Versions of familiar songs that would lend themselves well to this relatively new style of music often heard in Film Trailers. One approach is to take an “old-ish” up-tempo hit (from the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, for example), and do an ethereal, slowed-down version with haunting vocals, and a big, dramatic chorus section.
Think about flipping things on their heads! Take a Rock song and do a Country Version. Take a Country Song and try a Hip Hop version. Get creative, but stick with the original melody so the songs remain recognizable, even in their cool, new form! Versions that add drama and build as they go will work well. If you create something light and “feel-good” for a indie love story-type of Trailer, go for a big, heartwarming climax at the end.
Trailers are almost always in three acts, so starting out sparsely in the first third, build it up in the second third, and bring it all to a dramatic (or heartwarming) climax in the last section of your cover, and you’ll make it very useable.
TAXI Tip: Your productions can range from stripped-down versions that might only be a guitar/vocal, piano/vocal, ukulele/vocal, or a band-sized ensemble, or even a full orchestral version. You should go into this thinking, “What could I do with this song that would make it sound totally different than the original version, and make it sound really cool for those trendy new Film Trailers I see/hear these days.”
Your songs should be full-length, in the 3 to 4 minute ballpark. Non-Faded/Buttoned endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a very general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. But do NOT limit yourself to just those examples!!! Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).
This Library offers an Exclusive deal. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 60/40 (60% goes to the Artist/Writer/Producer). You must own or control your Master recording to pitch for this. Please submit 1-3 Songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Saturday, April 8th, 2017. TAXI #S170408TS
