TOP 40 POP SONGS with an R&B Influence and Female Vocals are needed by a big, Major Label A&R Executive for a Multi-Platinum Pop SUPERSTAR who's working on a brand new album. They're looking for chart-worthy Songs in All-Tempos that you'd expect to hear on playlists with artists like, (but not limited to) Zendaya ft Chris Brown, Ariana Grande ft. Big Sean, JoJo ft. Remy Ma, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the references to get an idea of the sound and style that could work for this pitch: "Something New" by Zendaya ft Chris Brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VGCKaTbkHA "Right There" Ariana Grande ft. Big Sean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhcpubAVdmc "FAB." by JoJo ft. Remy Ma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_4b9ZcewYI Please submit Top 40 style Pop songs that have a soulful R&B appeal to them. Your songs should have all the essential elements of current Pop music - strong hooks, infectious melodies, a fresh beat, and an unforgettable chorus. Your vocal performance should sound like a real-deal, chart-topping Pop artist to get them attracted to your song. Make sure your production and recording quality is clean, clear, well balanced, and good enough to represent your song well. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Saturday, February 11th, 2017. TAXI #Y170211PS
Stylistically Off Target
Style isn't similar to the example songs mentioned in this listing and could have a more Top 40 R&B/Pop sound needed here.

CONTEMPORARY R&B SONGS with a POP Influence and Female Vocals are needed by a top A&R Executive at a Major Record Label for a Grammy nominated singer that's working on her second album after having charting success with her debut release. They're looking for fresh, modern, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that would appeal to the fans of artists like Zendaya, Kehlani, Tori Kelly, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the references below to get a solid idea of the type of material that could work for this artist: "Replay" by Zendaya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyLE48i4XY0 "Undercover" by Kehlani: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBrmg0BBHI4 "Should've Been Us" by Tori Kelly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE2drlA8vf8 Please submit songs with a radio-friendly structure that are rhythmically, melodically, and lyrically engaging, and would instantly showcase this artist's impressive vocal range and control. You know the routine, your submission should have great hooks, and a big, chart-topping chorus that's as memorable as it gets. It's okay if your submissions lean toward the Pop side of the spectrum, as long as your songs are still rooted in the R&B genre. You'd be wise to have a really great vocal performance to help sell the label on cutting your song. Your recording quality needs to be clean, clear, well balanced, and good enough to represent your song well. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Tuesday, January 31st, 2017. TAXI #S170131CR

HELP WANTED
Music & Lyrics by Linda Starr
I’ve been workin’ all my life
Just to pay the rent
I’ve been workin’ all my life
And never saved a cent
I’ve got to get out from under
Get this job and go
‘Cause I’m your ‘help wanted’
Don’t you know?
It’s so hard to make a dime
Lord, I need a break
Feel like I’m just doin’ time
And it’s no piece of cake
I’ve got to get out from under
(Let me) Get this job and go
‘Cause I’m your ‘help wanted’
Don’t you know?
Well, I know you’re in a hurry
You can trust me, don’t you worry
Here I am in all my glory
Won’t you listen to my story?
Give me something I can do
Let me show my stuff
Time is runnin’ out for me
And life is gettin’ tough
I’ve got to get out from under
Get this job and go
‘Cause I’m your ‘help wanted’
Don’t you know?
Give me something I can do
Let me show my stuff
Time is runnin’ out for me
And life is gettin’ tough
I’ve got to get out from under
Get this job and go
‘Cause I’m your ‘help wanted’
Don’t you know?
