NITPICKY!! Come on man...... TEN seconds? It said "2 to 4 minutes GIVE OR TAKE!!!"
The screener also mentioned that it is not "modern enough" but WTF does that mean anyway? It asked for "throwback motifs from the '60s and '70s, but with a contemporary sound" Well, that is what I sent them, and that is what they got!
Am I supposed to put stomps and claps on there to make it "modern" or something else that is trendy and stupid?? How about a screaming metal guitar solo? or a trap beat? lolol

Lots of MODERN FUNK/SOUL INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Successful Publisher with an awesome track record of really BIG placements!

"1612" by VULFPECK
"Adrienne and Adrianne" by the Fearless Flyers

IMPORTANT: They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
Although some of the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only.
Please submit Modern Funk/Soul Instrumentals with throwback motifs from the '60s and '70s, but with a contemporary sound! Your submissions should have soulful grooves, catchy melodies, funky bass lines, tight musicianship, danceable rhythms, emotionally upbeat energy, modern and high-quality production, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward movement and interest building throughout. Funk instrumentation that's in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best (think organ, funky guitar, drums, bass, etc.).
