FORWARD for #S241117MC

[BradleyHagen]

Listing S241117MC
ANTHEMIC SPORTS ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a great Music Library with International Distribution and lots of success in Film and TV placements.

This Library is searching for Songs that could be found on a playlist with the following references:

"Ready to Go" by Republica

"We Will Rock You" by Queen

"Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes

NOTE: Although the references are a bit dated, this Publisher is looking for current-sounding material! Use the references to get yourself in the general ballpark of the sound and vibe they are looking for, but make sure your submissions are up to date with current trends and production techniques.

Please submit well-crafted Sports Rock Anthems full of bold, stadium-shaking energy! Your submissions should have electrifying guitar riffs, hard-hitting drums, and memorable, chant-worthy lyrics. Rock instrumentation that’s in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references will work best (think distorted guitars, driving bass lines, punchy drums, etc.). Please ensure your productions and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. High-energy, well-performed vocals with a larger-than-life sound are needed as well!

Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

NOTE: They will need instrumental-only versions of your Songs as well, but not yet! All you need to submit for now are the Full Songs with vocals. Please have mix-minus-vocal versions on hand and ready to send at a moment’s notice, if you get a call or email from the Music Library. If you don’t have the ability to get your mix-minus-vocal versions in the hands of the Music Library within an hour after being contacted, please do NOT submit for this!

AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

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 (PST) on Sunday, November 17th, 2024. TAXI # S241117MC

Now, this is the weird part....I didn't even listen to the reference tracks! I just blindly submitted and crossed my fingers.... This particular track has now been forwarded FOUR times now on FOUR different briefs, yet no signings!

Congrats, Brad.
I can imagine this getting used by a MMA/UFC fighter for his walk-in 'theme'.

Hi Brad,

Track is killer!!! That's why it keeps getting forwarded.. Congratulations!

As to why it's not signed... my only thought is this: there's something about the voice when it's doing the swagger rap that's not quite working... When he goes to sing, it's great!! But the rapping is just... something's missing there (for me - and I may be totally off..)

Maybe have the right rapper just rap the verses... If you get the right voice, that might put it over the top.

Anyway, great meeting you at the rally and cool to have you holding down the bass when we played Saturday night.

All the best,
Mark

Hey Mark!,, great to see you at the Rally! Fun jam! You make a really great point! This guy is an 80’s style rock/ metal singer, not a rapper……… I really need to think about finding a collab for something like this for sure…… rapping seems real easy until you actually try it lol (I say this from my own experience,)

[macomposer]

lol... I felt that way too when I was a yungin' ("I can rap! I know music - how hard could it be?") Welp. Yeah, I'm not a rapper....

Your song reminds me though of Old Town Road with Lil' Nas X and Billie Ray Cyrus. It's not a country rap song, but I'm just thinking about the cool contrast between his rapping and then Billie Ray's voice. It just works. The guy you have I think works great for the singing.. It's just finding someone who can convincing carry the swagger of the verses.

I wish you the best with it.

Congrats on the forward!

I still think this is a killer track and I'm certain it'll be signed up sooner or later. Good luck for it being this time!

[BTW, would you really have needed to listen to those ref tracks? ]

[BradleyHagen]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!!

And Happy Black Friday to my American friends!!! (Try not to spend TOO MUCH $$ on plugins and libraries today! lol)
