Singer/songwriter song forward!

Post by eeoo » Tue May 28, 2013 1:12 pm

I got this one through:

https://soundcloud.com/ethan-okamura/holding-on-wip

For this listing:

U130515SS

PUBLISHING COMPANY with a KILLER track record needs contemporary, earnest, SINGER SONGWRITER SONGS with MALE or Female VOCALS. They’re looking for Mid-to-Up tempo SONGS that will work well for Film, TV, and Advertising. This is the company’s FIRST listing with TAXI, and we really want to impress them, so send your best! Stylistically, they need songs in the spirit of: "Hold Onto Hope Love" by Amy Stroup - http://bit.ly/14bbVvK "Open Your Eyes" by Andrew Belle - http://bit.ly/13n9FT6 "And Then You" by Greg Laswell - http://bit.ly/kVvKSx Quoting the source: “We’re a super Artist Friendly Company. We’re looking for GREAT SONGS and UNIQUE ARTISTS. We’ve just partnered with a HUGE GLOBAL PUBLISHING COMPANY, and we have tons of connections for Film, TV, & Advertising placements.” Your songs, vocal performance, and production must be TOP-NOTCH for this request.

Fingers crossed!

Great work on this one, Ethan. Not at all surprised that the song got forwarded, although it is a little off the path for a listing that wanted mid- to up-tempo (thought that might have made for a nail in the coffin for this song in regards to listing). Regardless, a winner is a winner, and this song has plenty of potential. I could easily see this coming alive on the screen.

Best of luck, I'll be hoping you get a phone call soon!

Thanks guys. Yeah, I saw the mid to up tempo description in the listing and thought the same as you but then i listened to the ala's and they were pretty down tempo and melancholy so I figured it was worth a fiver.
