ORIGINAL YACHT ROCK SONGS with Male Vocals are needed by a hard-working, high-quality, boutique-sized Production Music Library that’s already had successful placements with TAXI members’ music. They’re looking for authentic, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs (Vintage or Contemporary Recordings can both work) that might work on a playlist alongside these references (provided by the Music Library:)
“Biggest Part Of Me” by Ambrosia
“I'd Really Love To See You Tonight” by England Dan and John Ford Coley
“Margaritaville” by Jimmy Buffet
“I Keep Forgettin” by Michael McDonald
“Heart To Heart” by Kenny Loggins
NOTE: They are looking for songs and performances where the singer really gets the genre and sounds spot on to that era and style and is not just a “good” singer. This is a very unique genre and there is a certain sensibility that is needed for it to come across well.
Please submit authentic-sounding Yacht Rock songs that would stylistically fit the vibe and style of the references above and others like them. Your submissions should have a genuine Yacht Rock style, with solid musicianship and a compelling chorus. Recently recorded songs or old vintage master recordings can both work for this pitch. The more authentic-sounding, the better!
They didn’t specify any lyric themes, however, lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity are strongly recommended. 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.
