EMOTIONAL POP BALLADS with Male Vocals are needed for an (up to) $2,000, Direct-to-Film Producer placement in an upcoming Feature Film!
Keep that Money: You'll get 100% of the sync fee, and keep 100% of your publishing and master rights. No publishing splits.
This Film's Producer is on the hunt for Songs that could work as a replacement for "Falling" by Harry Styles, which is currently temped in:
"Falling" by Harry Styles
They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
QUOTING THE FILM'S PRODUCER: "This is for a Faith Based Feature Film set in the South, and we need an emotional ballad with solo Male vocals and piano accompaniment. It should have a similar style and tempo as the reference."
Please submit well-crafted Pop Ballads with a deeply emotional sound and raw, expressive vocal performances that are powerful and moving. This Film Producer is looking for tracks that capture the longing, passion, insecurity, and vulnerability of the reference, with impactful lyrics that feel like you're laying your heart on the line. Captivating choruses, unforgettable melodies, moving arrangements, and well-written lyrics are all needed for this request. Instrumentation should feature piano. Based on the reference they provided, we think some very light supplemental instrumentation could work as well, such as atmospheric strings, washed out guitar, etc., but it needs to stay very minimal, and the overall aesthetic should be that of a piano ballad. If you decide to use any virtual instruments or samples, please ensure they are high-quality, very realistic, and not dated-sounding. Well-performed Male vocals with emotionally vulnerable performances are needed, and having compelling (even gut-wrenching) deliveries are going to go a long way in getting this Film Producer's attention!
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands could make your Songs easier to place. NO profanity for this opportunity please! Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.
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.
The license fee for this placement is (up to) $2,000, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Direct-to-Film Producer placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recordings, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Copyright and Master Recordings to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025. TAXI # S250402AL
