CUTTING EDGE POP SONGS with Female Vocals are needed by a Major Label A&R Executive for an up-and-coming International Artist who has already worked with tons of A-List Artists! They’re looking for contemporary, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic ballpark of artists like (but not limited to) MØ, Sia, Halsey, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the following references to get a feel for the style and vibe they need:

“Nights With You” by MØ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwqpA_tQcXQ

“The Greatest” by Sia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKSRyLdjsPA

“Now Or Never” by Halsey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzQTc0-iBX8

Give them well-crafted songs that are rhythmically engaging, with compelling melodies, great hooks, and a super infectious chorus. This artist is unique, so they’re looking for “interesting ideas” and “different sounds,” but nothing too quirky. In other words, they’re looking for something new and different, but not so outside the lines that it lacks commercial appeal. Your lyrics should have a fresh, contemporary approach, with original and boundary-pushing themes that once again, don’t color so far outside the lines that they aren’t relatable. You’d be wise to have a really great vocal performance to help sell the artist and label on cutting your song. Your recording and overall production quality needs to be clean, 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 by a TAXI screener handpicked by the Record Company - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Friday, July 7th, 2017. TAXI #Y170707CP

Electronic

Return to List of Categories

CURRENT SOUNDING, ELECTRONIC SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Music Licensing Company that’s not looking for “typical library music.” They’re looking for music that is either from real artists, or sounds so convincing that you can’t tell that it’s not from a working artist or band.

“You Don't Know Me” by Jax Jones ft. RAYE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKB4cioGs98

“Run Up” by Major Lazer ft. PARTYNEXTDOOR & Nicki Minaj: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKroRc-Gzva

“It Ain't Me” by Kygo & Selena Gomez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3VTKvdAuIY

Please submit well-crafted songs that are rhythmically, melodically and lyrically engaging from start to finish. Your overall production should be fresh and modern, with current sounding Electronic elements throughout, and a chorus that really shines. It would also be cool to include some vocal samples to create more ear candy, but that’s not a requisite. Your vocal performance should be very contemporary and in the general stylistic ballpark of acts that would appeal to fans of the artists listed above.

Your lyrics can be along the lines of what you’d typically hear in this genre, but should avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

“Monument” by Röyksopp & Robyn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c-RbGZBnBI

Lyric themes can be about anything you’d normally hear in this genre, but you’d be smart to keep them PG-rated, and avoid specific names, places, dates, times, and brands. Do NOT copy the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for feel, texture, and tone. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

NEW LISTING -- FEMALE VOCAL HARMONY GROUP SONGS with a “vintage sound” are needed QUICKLY for an (up to) $1,000, NON-Exclusive, Direct-to-Supervisor placement in a big-budget Indie Feature Film with several well-known actors in it.

This is their temp song, but they are clearly not trying to copy it.

Quoting the Music Supervisor: “The lyrics of Mr. Sandman are wrong for this film, but the “vintage-y” warmth is something we like.”

“Mr. Sandman” by The Chordettes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX45pYvxDiA

They’re looking for a song that has a sort of “dreamy quality.”

Here are some other examples of that Vintage Female Harmony style:

“May You Always” by the Lennon Sisters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opm1zuEHZUU

“Near You” by the Andrews Sisters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrCJb-VfO74

You can submit recently recorded songs in that stylistic ballpark, or if you happen to have something that’s truly old, from back in the day, even better!

Although the Music Supervisor didn’t ask for specific lyric themes, universal lyrics that avoid specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity are always a good idea, although not a stated requisite for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs 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 placement is (up to) $1,000, depending on the ultimate placement. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the Master License Fee and any applicable performance royalties.

“Love Is A Battlefield” by Pat Benatar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGVZOLV9SPo

“Strangelove” by Depeche Mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIrm0dHbCDU

Please send them original songs that have a genuine 1980’s sound and style. Your vocals should be well performed from start to finish, with a solid ‘80s-style delivery. Your submissions can be actual vintage masters recorded in the late or early 1980s, or they can be songs recently recorded and just inspired by that era. Dated sounds and production could work in your favor for this pitch!

Your lyrics can be along the lines of what you’d typically hear in this genre, but avoiding references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity is a smart idea. It makes your music more licensable! Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe.

TRADITIONAL, VINTAGE TEJANO SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by an A-List Music Publisher for Film and TV sync licensing. If you’ve got old Tex-Mex or Tejano recordings that sound like they could be on a playlist with the references below, or any other popular acts from that era, you might have exactly what this publisher is looking for:

“Vaya Con Dios” by Freddy Fender https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q6OH3L9Pqg

“Ay Te Dejo En San Antonio” by Flaco Jimenez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OppHs_RHISo

“Hey Baby (Que Paso)” by Texas Tornados https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vrKL7ZBQ4Y

The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s broadcast quality! Many TAXI members have been signed by this publisher with nothing more than good demo recordings! They’re much more interested finding music that sounds authentic to the time period than worrying about pristine recordings. Good demos and master recordings are all of interest to this company.

TAXI Tip: Your songs can feature vocals performed in either Spanish, English, OR a combination of both!

This Publisher is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and big Feature Films when they need music that is authentically from a particular time period. The Publisher pays you an upfront fee for the master and composition rights. You’ll keep the Writer’s share of the Publishing and make applicable income through your P.R.O.

This company often averages several placements per week, and many of those placements are TAXI members who’ve been signed with this company because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens of TAXI members have signed buy out, cash-up-front deals with this company. Several have even received up front checks for $10,000 - $15,000 (or more!) Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the songs signed by the Publisher.

This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market! Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. Please include lyrics.

TRAILER-Style HIP-HOP SONGS with a Country Influence (AKA HICK-HOP) and Male Vocals are needed by a NON-Exclusive Music Library that needs quite a bit of fresh, new material for TV and Film pitches. They’re searching for Mid-to-Up Tempo Songs that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

“Long Hard Times to Come” by Gangstagrass featuring T.O.N.E.-z: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAffMSpW8KM

“Workin” by Big Smo ft. Alexander King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igZweLr604Y

“Country Folks” by Bubba Sparxxx ft. Colt Ford & Danny Boone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJUx8didhZA

Please submit original, well-crafted songs that have a noticeable Country feel and vibe, but with a fresh and current Hip-Hop approach. Your song should be well-structured, with banging beats, and a confident vocal delivery that’s full of attitude and swagger. Your production should be polished and have attention-grabbing melodies and instrumentation that tastefully fuses Country and Hip-Hop together.

TAXI Tip: These songs will be pitched for Film Trailers, so even though they’re song structure they still need to have a semblance of a three act trailer structure: intro that sets the tone, middle exposition, and a final big, huge, epic build.

Watch This: Here’s a really good example of how a song (albeit, not a Hick Hop song) is used in the three acts of a Film Trailer!

“Wolf of Wall Street” Trailer #1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idAVRvQeYAE

Your lyric themes can vary, but should be in the wheelhouse of what you’d typically hear in the Rap/Hip-Hop genre, but without profanity. Universal lyrics will work best, so please avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, tone, and vibe. Also, do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

NOTE: They will need an instrumental-only version of your song as well, but not yet! All you need to submit for now is the Full Song with vocals, but please have a mix-minus-vocal on hand and ready to send it at a moment’s notice if you get a call or email from the Music Library. If you don’t have the ability to get your mix-minus-vocal in the Music Library hands within an hour after being contacted, please don’t submit for this!

This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share of what they place. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this pitch. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD.

RE-IMAGINED TRAILER-STYLE COVER SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a great new, NON-Exclusive Music Library started by a highly experienced Film and TV Music veteran! Please listen to the following examples the client gave us to get a general idea of the range of music that could work for this pitch:

Ghost in the Shell Official Trailer 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4VmJcZR0Yg

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Live Orchestra & Choir Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4VfaxeYOt8

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pG_Q5_0Gok

Please submit well-crafted songs that give a contemporary, innovative, and creative take on older songs. Your productions can range from stripped-down versions that might only be a guitar/vocal, piano/vocal, ukulele/vocal, or a band-sized ensemble, or a full orchestral version. Any acoustic instruments you use should sound real and organic, not synth-y or obviously quantized. Your covers can come from genres such as Rock, R&B, Country, Pop etc. as long as it’s original and engaging from top to bottom. Taking upbeat songs and making them dark and moody and more downbeat could make your submission stick out for this pitch.

TAXI Tip 1: You don’t have to use all of the song’s original melody, but the song should be recognizable. If you stray too far away from the original melody or lyric, your cover may not be as appealing.

TAXI Tip 2: These are being pitched for Trailers, so experiment with breaking up the song structure to deliver a three act trailer structure: Intro that sets the tone, Middle exposition, and a Final, big, huge, epic build.

Your songs should be full-length, in the 3 to 4 minute ballpark. Non-Faded/Buttoned endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

ORIGINAL ORCHESTRAL SONGS with Female OPERATIC/CHORAL Vocals are needed by a great new, NON-Exclusive Music Library that’s been launched by a highly experienced Film and TV Music veteran! They’re on the hunt for Songs in All-Tempos are in the general stylistic ballpark of the references we got from them:

Note: This Music Library needs songs to pitch to a Music Supervisor doing Film Trailers for huge Hollywood movies. Sync Fees can range from $15,000 and up, depending on the particular spot and ultimate use.

“Never Let Me Go” by Angèlia Grace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRbiO958ai8

Epic Western Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z699pbUYpqk

“Hallelujah” by Live Symphony & Choir: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6g8kkx7C-c

TAXI Tip: As you’ll see, the references aren’t trailers, and as such, don’t have the three act trailer structure that your submissions should have.

Give them emotionally powerful compositions that sound like a real-deal Theatrical Trailer that’s consistent with the level of quality, style, and impact of what you would hear in a big budget Hollywood Trailer. Your song structure should follow what you’d typically hear in film trailers with three “acts” that build as your composition progresses. Be sure any orchestral instrumentation you use sounds very convincing, and please avoid anything stiff or obviously MIDI-driven for this pitch. Non-Lyrical Choral/Vocal samples are okay for this pitch as long as they sound really, really authentic, however, mixing live vocals and choral samples could probably be your best bet.

You can have some lyrics, but non-lyric vocalizations and foreign language could work as well. Universal lyrics are still recommended, so please avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs 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).

This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share of what they place.

CONTEMPORARY TOP 40 INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a very successful, NON-Exclusive Music Library owned by two highly-accomplished industry veterans. They’re looking for contemporary sounding, Mid-to-Up Tempo Instrumental Cues (chord changes, no melody) that would sound at home on a playlist with songs like (but not limited to) these:

“Can’t Stop The Feeling” by Justin Timberlake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ2ClPjFnB8

“24K Magic” by Bruno Mars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqyT8IEBkvY

“I Feel It Coming” by The Weeknd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFLhGq0060w

Although the references have vocals, this pitch is for Instrumentals only. Please submit fresh, well-crafted Instrumental Cues that are rhythmically and melodically engaging with a contemporary sound and vibe you’d hear from the references and other acts in the same ballpark. Your overall production should be current sounding (not dated, please) and have a slick, polished, Top 40 sound. Be sure to craft your submissions around a central melodic motif, while adding and subtracting instruments and elements in and out as your Cue progresses to keep it from sounding too repetitive or one-dimensional. They do NOT want any polysynth or synth lead sounds to TAKE THE PLACE of a vocal.

Quoting The Music Library – “We need relevant sounding drums, warm tracks…no mid range elements or harsh mixes that get in the way of dialogue. They should sound like mastered pop hits.”

NOTE: This company is beefing up their catalog in a big way, so if they love what they hear from you, be prepared to have them ask you to send in 10 MORE Cues in the same style in a relatively short period of time. This could be a case in which submitting three Cues that are all “forward-able” is a good idea. It could show them you have the depth in your catalog.

All submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length. Buttoned/Stinger Endings and good Edit Points are encouraged for this pitch. BTW, “good edit point” does not necessarily mean that you need a full rest for the edit point. Kick drums, snare hits, etc. that are easy to cut on and designate a section, will do the trick! Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for feel, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this pitch. Please submit one to three Instrumentals Cues online or per CD.

Please send them anything you’d expect to hear on today’s Latin charts, but with an Alternative influence. If you’re wondering if your music is Alt Latin, listen to the references again, and search for more examples on Youtube. This genre is very wide-ranging, so there’s no exact description for what it sounds like or what they’re looking for. If your music has an edge or is a hybrid of Latin and some other edgy genre like Punk, Hip Hop, or even Hard Rock, you just might fall into the Alt Latin genre! Vocals performed in either Spanish, English, OR a combination of both can work for this pitch. Please be sure your bio includes any highlights such as, (but not limited to), touring, fanbase, or impressive sales or streaming figures you may have. Submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics, photo, and bio.

They’re looking for radio-worthy songs that are Mid-to-Up Tempo, and could generally fit in the stylistic wheelhouse of these references we got from the client:

“Here” by Alessia Cara: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKp2CrfmVfw

“If I Were A Boy” by Beyoncé: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWpsOqh8q0M

“Paper Planes” by MIA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewRjZoRtu0Y

Give them well-crafted songs that sound like they should be on today’s Pop charts, with an unforgettable melody and a great big hook-driven chorus that’s super infectious. Your song should have a slight R&B appeal, but still maintain a Contemporary Pop sound. A polished Pop vocal delivery will help get the label and the artist excited about recording your song.

INDIE POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $15,000 placement by a NON-Exclusive Publisher that’s supplying songs directly to the Music Supervisor for a very popular Sports Video Game. The song they choose could also be used on the Video Game Soundtrack Album! They’re looking for Mid-to-Up Tempo Songs that could be heard on a playlist as acts like, (but not limited to) Grimes, The Moth and The Flame, LORDE, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the following references the client gave us to get in the general wheelhouse of what this Publisher needs:

“Kill Vs. Maim” by Grimes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooWkA_-lOHA

“Red Flag” by The Moth and The Flame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqDrftAxYpk

“Perfect Planes” by LORDE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm4_f8804nU

Please submit innovative Indie Pop Songs that are rhythmically creative and melodically captivating. Your Song should have a modern Pop structure, with instrumentation and melodies that pulls the Song a bit outside the typical Top 40 Pop sound. Your vocal performance should be really strong, with a unique quality that makes it stand out.

Lyric themes can vary, but should be something that would sound appropriate in the Indie Pop genre. Universal lyrics will work best, so please avoid using specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artist or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Appropriate sounding broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine) – in other words, Lo-Fi and distorted could work for this!

NOTE: The sync fee we were quoted is $15,000. However, our experience tells us that the sync fee quoted for this placement is probably based on them licensing a song from a well-known act through a big publisher like Sony or Universal. We think the sync fee could be lower for an unknown, independent act. We would “guesstimate” that the range for an unknown artist’s song would be in the $2,500 - $5,000 range. It could go higher. We’re just being cautious and conservative.

The estimated license fee for this is (up-to) $15,000, depending on the ultimate placement. This Publisher typically does Non-Exclusive deals, however, these deals will be Exclusive for the first 60 days after the game’s release, then it will become Non-Exclusive. You’ll get 50% of the sync fee and 100% of the Writer’s share. They’ll get 50% of the sync fee and 100% of the Publisher’s Share. You’ll keep 100% of the original copyright and master.

Believability is a key factor for this opportunity, so please be sure your submissions sound like a true Goth Rock act with plenty of darkness, doom, and gloom.

They’re mostly interested in artists and bands that are active and out there working on their careers, so please include any touring, fan base, or sales, streaming, or impressive social media figures you have in your bio. If you’re a young artist or band, and don’t yet have much of a story or track record yet, but you do have an amazing sound and the songs to back it up, they’d still like to hear you!

You can incorporate some minimal electronic elements, but your song should be primarily driven by traditional Rock instrumentation. Having a distinctive vocal sound/identity could also help you stand out for this pitch.

No specific lyric themes were requested, so anything that sounds like it’s what you’d normally hear in the Alt Rock genre could potentially work. Universal lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places could make your song more appealing. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe.

“Silhouettes” by Colony House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBTB54ty-tc

“Electric Feel ” by MGMT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmZexg8sxyk

“Casual Party” by Band of Horses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV99ErubyMI

Quoting the Music Supervisor: “The songs must have great energy, and should sound hopeful and happy. The intro section of Silhouettes works really well.”

Please submit well-crafted Songs that are in the general style of the references above. Your submissions should have an authentic Indie Rock sound, with catchy melodies, great hooks, and a big infectious chorus. Be sure your vocals are attention grabbing, with a solid, confident, and current sounding delivery.

ORIGINAL, 1990’s-Style ROCK SONGS with Male Vocals are needed by the CEO of a Music Licensing Company that’s building a new catalog for Film, TV, Video Game, and TV Commercial placements. This company is new, and headed up by a veteran Film/TV music executive with tons of relationships and a very long list of high-quality placements. They’re on the hunt for authentic sounding, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that fall in the general stylistic wheelhouse of artists like (but not limited to), Soundgarden, Wolfmother, Nirvana, etc., etc. Please listen to the following references the client gave us to get yourself in the general ballpark of the style they need:

“Fell On Black Days” by Soundgarden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySzrJ4GRF7s

“Joker and the Thief” by Wolfmother: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySjXFjLTagQ

“Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg

Please submit well-crafted, guitar-driven, 90’s sounding songs with rockin’ rhythm sections, authentic Rock instrumentation, anthemic choruses, and a vocal performance that’s full of ‘90s attitude and swagger. Your submission does not have to have been recorded in the 1990s, but it should capture the overall energy, feel, and vibe. However, if you happen to have some old recordings from that era, they’d love to hear them!

TAXI Tip: This is a great time to get in on the ground floor of this new company, knowing that they need a lot of material, yet already have at least a decade of relationships with Music Supervisors already in place!

Lyric themes can vary, but should be something in the ballpark of what you would have heard in 1990’s or early 2000’s Rock music, so please be sure not to reference anything outside that era. Avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs 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).

EPIC, TRAILER-Style ROCK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a NON-Exclusive Music Library that’s actively pitching to Movie Trailer Music Supervisors. They’re searching for Mid-to-Up Tempo Songs that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references we got from the client:

“Uprising” by Muse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8KQmps-Sog

“Welcome To The Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRKJiM9Njr8

“Heaven Knows” by The Pretty Reckless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHBxJCq99jA

Please submit well-crafted Rock Songs that are big, powerful, epic, and sound like something that could be used in a Blockbuster Trailer. Your overall submission should be rhythmically, melodically and lyrically engaging with authentic sounding Rock instrumentation and a swagger filled vocal performance.

TAXI Tip: These songs will be pitched for Film Trailers, so even though they’re likely structured in typical song form, they still need to have some semblance of a three act Trailer structure: intro that sets the tone, middle exposition, and a big, epic build in the last section.

Watch This: Here’s a really good example of how a song (although, not a Rock song) is used in the three acts of a Film Trailer!

“Wolf of Wall Street” Trailer #1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idAVRvQeYAE

Lyrics that don’t have references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places could make your song more appealing.

Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. 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 (PDT), on Friday, July 7th, 2017.

Singer / Songwriter

Return to List of Categories

INDIE SINGER/SONGWRITER SONGS with Female Vocals are needed QUICKLY for an (up to) $1,000, NON-Exclusive, Direct-to-Supervisor placement in a $5,000,000 Independent Feature Film with some name-brand actors starring in it.

The Supervisor is on the hunt for a song that’s unique, kind of quirky, and somewhat stripped down, ideally with a “walking” feel, an upright bass part, pizzicato strings, touches of woodwinds or tuba, an eccentric arrangement, and soul-baring confessional lyrics that feel sort of intimately cabaret-like in their delivery.

Fiona Apple’s song, Extraordinary Machine, is a great example of a song with many of those qualities, so please listen to it to get your head in the general ballpark of the vibe this Supervisor wants:

“Extraordinary Machine” by Fiona Apple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZbYnm2KHRs

A small, acoustic-based ensemble should do the trick for this pitch. A vocal performance that’s emotionally honest, with a restrained, Vaudeville-esque style would probably get this Supervisor and the film’s Producers doing cartwheels, especially if the lyrics are loosely wrapped around a theme of bouncing back or surviving something like a relationship gone bad.

Note: Some of Tori Amos’s songs like Silent All These Years and Upside Down have a lyrical vibe and vocal delivery that are in that wheelhouse, but we didn’t link to them because musically they aren’t as close to the vibe and eccentricity in the arrangement as the Fiona Apple song.

Do NOT copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, and overall feel/vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

The estimated license fee for this placement is (up to) $1,000, depending on the ultimate placement. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Master Recording, plus you’ll also get 100% of the Master License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master Recording to pitch for this opportunity. All songs will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques.

NEW LISTING -- MELANCHOLIC, SINGER/SONGWRITER BALLADS with Female Vocals are U-R-G-E-N-T-L-Y for an (up to) $1,000, NON-Exclusive, Direct-to-Supervisor placement in a big-budget Indie Feature Film with several well-known actors in it. They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs (Vintage or Contemporary productions can both work) in the general stylistic range of this reference:

“Why Try to Change Me Now” by Fiona Apple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP8qadHtSrs

“Skinny Love” by Bon Iver performed by Birdy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNzCDt2eidg “Autumn Leaves” by Eva Cassidy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXBNlApwh0c

Quoting the Music Supervisor: “I’m looking for simple piano/vocals or guitar/vocals that sounds melancholic but sweet, hopeful, and slow. Lyrics are very important: They Can NOT be about love, but they could be about having regret.”

We think the Fiona Apple song is closest to their target!

Please submit well-crafted songs with melancholic melodies and lyrics that have a great big, emotionally impactful chorus. Having a simple, Stripped-Down, Guitar/Vocal or Piano/Vocal arrangement and a captivating, honest vocal performance that brings it all home should do the trick for this pitch! Read that quote from the Supervisor one more time, just for good measure!

Lyric themes about regret could work well for this pitch, but you don’t need to limit yourself to just that idea. They DO NOT want songs about love or relationships, they’re looking for something with some real substance that doesn’t mention any names, places, dates, times, brands, or profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

TAXI Tip: Please read that last sentence one more time before submitting: “…a compelling vocal performance that’s performed in Spanish.”

Lyric themes can vary, but should be something you’d expect to hear in Latin-based EDM.
