New listing
Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2024 10:45 am
Hey everyone!
So there is a new listing, and I was wondering if anyone can decipher this a little better than I can??
Lots of MODERN SONGS in ALL GENRES with the lyrical theme "Starting Something" and Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Successful Publisher with an awesome track record of really BIG placements, mostly in TV Commercials.
TAXI's Educated Guess: When companies ask for something as specific as this request, it often means they're pitching to a specific, big-time TV Commercial!
We purposely avoided putting references in this request as we felt they could potentially be more misleading or limiting, than helpful.
This Company is searching for positive, high-energy Songs with lyrics that include the following theme:
"Starting Something"
NOTE: Since this is a lyrical theme, your Songs don't HAVE to include the exact phrase, although they can. Your lyrics DO need to line up with the idea, however. (i.e. "Let's get started", "We start today", and "Ready to start" are all examples of what could potentially work)
They're looking for popular/commercially viable genres, including (but not limited to): Pop, Country, Rock, Singer-Songwriter, Folk, EDM, R&B/Soul, Rap/Hip-Hop, etc. We recommend that you avoid submitting anything in genres that don't have a lot of mainstream appeal!
QUOTING THE COMPANY: "We need something modern, with lots of dynamics and edit points. Looking for tracks that are recent and sound cutting-edge with sounds and production. The style/genre is open as long as it is modern, positive, high energy, and sounds like it could be on the airwaves. Ideally, the above lyrical theme is in the chorus and not just a line in a verse!"
Please submit Modern Songs in any commercially viable genre that use the lyrical theme listed above. Your submissions should have uplifting and positive motifs, catchy melodies, emotionally upbeat energy, modern and high-quality production, well-crafted lyrics, and solid arrangements. Since the listing is open to a wide variety of genres, instrumentation may vary based on which direction you go, as long as your submissions are competitive with other Songs in your chosen style. Please be sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Expressive Male or Female vocal performances will help you get the attention of this Publisher!
TAXI Tip: Songs with simple, yet impactful and universally-relatable lyrics will likely work best for this request. Read that twice, please!
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. Any sync licensing fees are split 50/50. You’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. Please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed to any other Libraries or Catalogs. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Saturday, March 30th, 2024. TAXI # S240330TG
OK....so NO reference tracks, which makes this a little more difficult to understand (at least for me)... So, "Starting Over" "Lets get Started" etc.... Are they looking for only positive lyrics?? 100% positive? Could it be in the vein of "We have had our issues, but let's start over?" "Begin anew" that kind of sentiment? And what "genres" do not "have alot of mainstream appeal" Would Hard Rock/Metal work for this?? Or would I be better off doing more of a singer/songwriter, stripped down approach?? I apologize you guys, but figuring out what they actually WANT seems to be my biggest obstacle as of late.....THANKS!
