CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN LISTING
Posted: Sun Sep 14, 2014 2:24 pm
Need your thoughts about this listing: I'm having a dilemma. It mentions to have "implied religious message" and "avoid specific names" too. Is it okay to have "God" or "Jesus" in the lyrics? Or to be safe better not?
INSPIRATIONAL CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN SONGS with MALE or FEMALE VOCALS are needed by the Music Supervisor of a faith-based Independent Film. He’s looking hard to find some great Mid-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of artists like Chris Tomlin, Christy Nockels, Aaron Shust, etc. Please listen to the referenced songs to get a solid understanding of the sound, vibe, and message he’s looking for: “I Will Follow” by Chris Tomlin “Ever Lifting” by Christy Nockels “We Are Free” by Aaron Shust Submit positive, hopeful, and emotionally uplifting songs with an implied religious message – not overt Worship-based lyrics. Lyric themes about being a good person, paying it forward, loving and helping others, etc., etc., etc. could all work well for this pitch. Be sure your vocals are strong, with an intimate, heartfelt delivery. Songs should have emotionally moving melodies with an engaging hook-driven chorus that leaves the audience with a true sense of hopefulness and optimism. The more universal your lyrics are the better, so please avoid specific names, dates, times, brands, profanity, etc. Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). The estimated license fee for this use is $100-$200. This is a Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll keep 100% of the sync fee and 100% of any applicable performance royalties. You’ll also keep 100% of your Copyright and Master ownership. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. All Songs will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 songs no later than 4pm (PDT) on MONDAY, September 15, 2014. TAXI #U140915CC
