INSPIRING & POSITIVE BLUES/BLUESY SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Film/TV Music Publisher for (up to) $250,000 placements in upcoming Ad Campaigns for a Huge Brand!

Since this is a wide ranging, lyric and vibe-based request, we are not providing any references as we feel they may be more limiting than helpful. This listing is open to impactful VINTAGE as well as CURRENT-Sounding Songs in All Tempos that are nailing the inspiring and positive vibe requested by the company. Please read the following quote from the Publisher carefully to help increase your chances of nailing this request. The bar will be high for this listing.

Quoting the Publisher: "We're looking for Songs with concepts/themes centered around the following ideas: Human Kindness, Giving Back, Happiness, Helping Someone, Unconditional Love, I Got Your Back, Lean On me, Always here for You, Friendship, etc. The key is the lyrics and emotion, keeping the songs inspiring and positive is important. These ads are basically telling the audience 'we have you covered by any means necessary, we are here to help, and we are your friends.' Any concepts along those lines will work."

Please submit top-notch Blues or Bluesy Songs brimming with inspiring and positive energy. Your submissions should have captivating melodies, well-crafted lyrics centered around the themes mentioned above, and emotional, well-performed vocals. Your arrangements and instrumentation can range from stripped-down to more filled out ideas – just be sure they are bluesy and convey a feel-good, emotionally upbeat vibe and feel. Your production should be well-balanced, and if you choose to use any virtual sounds or samples, they need to be high-quality. If you have heart-warming tracks that could instantly draw viewers in and get them emotionally invested in what is being shown on screen, send them in!

Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality will work for vintage recordings.

IMPORTANT: This Publisher may need instrumental-only versions of your Songs as well, but not yet! All you need to submit for now are the Full Songs with vocals, but please have mixes-minus-vocals on hand and ready to send at a moment’s notice if you get a call or email from the Publisher. Go ahead and submit for this if you would be able to get your mixes-minus-vocals in their hands within an hour after being contacted.

NOTE: The sync fee we were quoted was $250,000. 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 will be lower (in the $25,000 to $50,000 range) for an unknown, independent act, or for music licensed from a music library. It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.

The estimated license fee for this placement is up to $250,000, depending on the ultimate use. This Publisher offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll split any applicable sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Master rights and the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's Share for any placements they generate. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener that was hand-picked by the Music Publisher.

Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, May 30th, 2023. TAXI # S230530BL

"Holy Water" by Michael Ray

Send them top-tier Country Songs that sound like tomorrow's hits, today! Your submissions should have instantly memorable choruses with a bit of range, super catchy melodies, and a hefty dose of Country charm.

Finish your submissions off with engaging, well-performed Male vocals and you could have just what this Publisher is looking for!

Stripped-down demos and full productions are both okay to submit, as long as your Songs are great and your recordings are clean, clear, and well-balanced! Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe.

Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Time permitting, an associate of the Producer/Publisher (who was hand picked by the Publisher and has been trained as a TAXI screener) will screen some or all of the submissions. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, May 31st, 2023.

NOTABLE: This film's Producer used a bunch of TAXI member's music in his last (few) films, and loved what he found so much that he came back for more!!

NOTE: The Filmmakers are open to hearing both high-quality vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), OR recently recorded Songs in the general production style of the reference.

Quoting the Music Supervisor: "We need a medium tempo, honky tonk Song for a line dancing scene. Needs to have organic instrumentation and Male Vocals. IMPORTANT: The Song should match tempo of the reference track."

Please submit '90s style Country Songs that could easily be line danced to and would work well as a replacement for the reference.

Please be sure your production is well-balanced and any virtual sounds or samples you may choose to use are high-quality and very realistic sounding – nothing stiff or obviously MIDI-driven will work. If you have tracks that could sound at home in a honky tonk, this Supervisor wants to hear them!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places will make your Songs easier to place. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media.

Contemporary Pop instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references (and others like them) will work best for this pitch.

IMPORTANT: This Library really wants to find top-notch Composers – not just people who combine different samples or loops without altering them at all. Cleared sample libraries are okay to use, but any samples or loops you include in your pieces should be altered enough that they're distinguishable from the originals. Basically, if you Shazamed one of your tracks and another artist's song comes up, your music would definitely be disqualified by this Company.

ALSO IMPORTANT: Your Submissions can NOT be commercially released on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. OR be encumbered by ANY other publishing, licensing, administration, and/or exploitation deals (whether non-exclusive or exclusive) including publishing/licensing agreements with CD Baby, TuneCore, etc.

You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is not already signed with other Libraries or Catalogs.

Please send them top-notch '80s Rock Instrumentals (and/or Cues) with rockin' guitars, catchy motifs, and tons of great '80s energy! Your submissions should have inviting rhythms, solid musicianship, and engaging arrangements with tons of dynamics, forward motion, and interest. '80s Rock instrumentation that is generally consistent and competitive with the references (and others like them) will work best for this pitch. Your productions and any virtual instruments you may choose to use need to be high-quality and era-appropriate.

Your submissions should be roughly 90 Seconds (give or take) long for Cues, and about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form.

Lots of EPIC, SLOW-BURN HYBRID TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a UK-Based Production Music Company that's landed lots of cool placements in TV Shows, Film Trailers, and Video Games.

NOTE: We previously ran this request as TAXI Listing #S230507BR, but the Company is looking for more material, so they asked us to run this search again. If you submitted to listing #S230507BR, please send different material this time around.

This Company is searching for Instrumentals in the general ballpark of the following examples we got directly from our contact with the Company:

"The Devil You Know" by David Chapell (from 0:00 - 2:39)

"Zenith" by Armi Päivinen & Samuli Vuori

Quoting the Client: "We're after powerful music with a mellow beginning. The tracks should follow the Intro > Build > Climax > Climax II (optional) > Outro structure. The intro needs to be minimal and slow with very few elements that build to an edit point. The second act should start to introduce the next elements, simple rhythms, and pulses before another edit point. The climax should unleash the full melody with all the powerful instruments and push onto the Climax II (if needed) where you will add to the power with bigger hits and higher octaves. Ease the track out with a gentle outro. Most importantly, build intense tension and release a huge epic climax. Work with a melodic idea and flesh it out with massive brass, climbing strings, heavy percussion, unique sound design and scorching guitars. Choirs may be added for dramatic value also. Think epic battlegrounds and game boss fights."

Send them well-composed Hybrid Trailer-Style Instrumentals that start with a mellow beginning and gradually build to a dramatic, climactic crescendo. Compelling motifs, excellent arrangements in the general wheelhouse of the reference, impactful rhythms, and plenty of dark, epic, slow-burning energy are all needed for this pitch. High-quality Orchestral Hybrid instrumentation will suit your submissions best. Please follow the desired structure that the Company has outlined above. Craft your pieces around a central motif and layer instrumentation in and out as they progress to create dynamics, forward motion, and interest – and don't forget the edit points! Your production should be polished and any virtual sounds, or samples you use need to be state-of-the-art and cutting-edge.

TAXI Tip: Don't be afraid to layer up your instrumentation to create a huge, blockbuster sound!

NOTE: This Company is likely more interested in composers who can deliver full albums in this style than people who only produce one or two tracks every now and then. We suspect that if they hear a couple of your tracks and love what you're doing, they'll ask you to send them more music on an ongoing basis.

All submissions should be about 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, button/stinger endings will work best for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You'll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share, and you'll get 100% of the Writer's share. You must own or control your Master and Composition rights. Since this is an Exclusive deal, please be sure your material is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit as many Instrumentals 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, June 10th, 2023. TAXI # S230610WY

This Publisher is looking for a WIDE RANGE of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general ballpark of the following references we got directly from our contact at the Company:

"Crazy" by Seal

"You Get What You Give" by New Radicals

"Groove Is in the Heart" by Deee-Lite

"Wannabe" by Spice Girls

"Genie In A Bottle" by Christina Aguilera

"Waterfalls" by TLC

"One" by U2

The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s broadcast quality, and you can submit old masters OR old demos.

Please submit top-tier, original, vintage Pop Songs that capture the sound and vibe of music from the 1990s! Super catchy melodies, unforgettable choruses, well-crafted lyrics, slick arrangements and confident, well-performed vocals that were recorded between 1990 and 1999 are all needed for this request. Typical Pop instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references (and others like them) will work best for this pitch – ranging on the Pop spectrum and incorporating elements of R&B and Rock could work, as well. Your productions should be well-balanced and any virtual instruments or samples you use should be of high-quality, as well as genre and era-appropriate.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity are recommended, but not an absolute necessity.

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 great demo recordings - they love finding really good demos that sound like they should have been a hit back in the day, but never got signed or released! This Publisher is interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period. This is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and Feature Films when music from a specific time period is needed.

The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the copyright, and you keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization. Win-win! This Company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with them because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens of TAXI members have signed buyout deals with this company. Several have even received upfront checks for $10,000 to $15,000 (or more!). Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the Songs signed.

Make sure your Songs were actually recorded BETWEEN 1990 and 1999, otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!

Your name needs to be on the copyright. Your Songs need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the Copyright and Master recordings to submit for this pitch. DO NOT SUBMIT FOR FRIENDS! Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, June 4th, 2023. TAXI # S230604YN

This Publisher is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references we got directly from our contact at the Company:

"Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

"Crimson and Clover" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

"Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar

The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s broadcast quality, and you can submit old masters OR old demos.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity are recommended, but not an absolute necessity.

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 great demo recordings - they love finding really good demos that sound like they should have been a hit back in the day, but never got signed or released! This Publisher is interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period. This is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and Feature Films when music from a specific time period is needed.

The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the copyright, and you keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization. Win-win! This Company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with them because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens of TAXI members have signed buyout deals with this company. Several have even received upfront checks for $10,000 to $15,000 (or more!). Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the Songs signed.

Make sure your Songs were actually recorded BETWEEN 1977 and 1986, otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!

Your name needs to be on the copyright. Your Songs need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the Copyright and Master recordings to submit for this pitch. DO NOT SUBMIT FOR FRIENDS! Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

This Publisher is looking for a WIDE RANGE of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general ballpark of the following references we got directly from our contact at the Company:

"Crazy" by Seal

"You Get What You Give" by New Radicals

"Groove Is in the Heart" by Deee-Lite

"Wannabe" by Spice Girls

"Genie In A Bottle" by Christina Aguilera

"Waterfalls" by TLC

"One" by U2

The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s broadcast quality, and you can submit old masters OR old demos.

Please submit top-tier, original, vintage Pop Songs that capture the sound and vibe of music from the 1990s! Super catchy melodies, unforgettable choruses, well-crafted lyrics, slick arrangements and confident, well-performed vocals that were recorded between 1990 and 1999 are all needed for this request. Typical Pop instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references (and others like them) will work best for this pitch – ranging on the Pop spectrum and incorporating elements of R&B and Rock could work, as well. Your productions should be well-balanced and any virtual instruments or samples you use should be of high-quality, as well as genre and era-appropriate.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity are recommended, but not an absolute necessity.

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 great demo recordings - they love finding really good demos that sound like they should have been a hit back in the day, but never got signed or released! This Publisher is interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period. This is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and Feature Films when music from a specific time period is needed.

The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the copyright, and you keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization. Win-win! This Company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with them because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens of TAXI members have signed buyout deals with this company. Several have even received upfront checks for $10,000 to $15,000 (or more!). Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the Songs signed.

Make sure your Songs were actually recorded BETWEEN 1990 and 1999, otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!

Your name needs to be on the copyright. Your Songs need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the Copyright and Master recordings to submit for this pitch. DO NOT SUBMIT FOR FRIENDS! Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, June 4th, 2023. TAXI # S230604YN

Many TAXI members have been signed by this Publisher with nothing more than great demo recordings - they love finding really good demos that sound like they should have been a hit back in the day, but never got signed or released! This Publisher is interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period. This is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and Feature Films when music from a specific time period is needed.

The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the copyright, and you keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization. Win-win! This Company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with them because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens of TAXI members have signed buyout deals with this company. Several have even received upfront checks for $10,000 to $15,000 (or more!). Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the Songs signed.

Make sure your Songs were actually recorded BETWEEN 1990 and 1999, otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!

Your name needs to be on the copyright. Your Songs need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the Copyright and Master recordings to submit for this pitch. DO NOT SUBMIT FOR FRIENDS! Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, June 4th, 2023. TAXI # S230604YN

A Bunch of Original, VINTAGE Late '70s to Mid '80s POP/ROCK SONGS with Female Vocals are needed by an A-List Music Publisher for Film and TV sync licensing.

This Publisher is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references we got directly from our contact at the Company:

"Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

"Crimson and Clover" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

"Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar

"Call Me" by Blondie

"Barracuda" by Heart

The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s broadcast quality, and you can submit old masters OR old demos.

Please submit original, vintage Pop/Rock Songs that were recorded between 1977 and 1986 that could sound at home on a playlist with artists like Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Blondie, Pat Benatar, and Heart. Your submissions should have super catchy melodies, unforgettable choruses, rockin' guitars, engaging grooves, top-notch musicianship, and über compelling, well-performed female vocals. Pop/Rock instrumentation that falls in the general wheelhouse of the references will work best for this request. Your production and arrangements need to be strong, well-balanced, and era-appropriate.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity are recommended, but not an absolute necessity.

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 great demo recordings - they love finding really good demos that sound like they should have been a hit back in the day, but never got signed or released! This Publisher is interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period. This is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and Feature Films when music from a specific time period is needed.

The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the copyright, and you keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization. Win-win! This Company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with them because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens of TAXI members have signed buyout deals with this company. Several have even received upfront checks for $10,000 to $15,000 (or more!). Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the Songs signed.

Make sure your Songs were actually recorded BETWEEN 1977 and 1986, otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!

Your name needs to be on the copyright. Your Songs need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the Copyright and Master recordings to submit for this pitch. DO NOT SUBMIT FOR FRIENDS! Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

Your submissions should have easily memorable hooks, catchy melodies, impactful lyrics, heavy beats, and confident, well-performed Male vocals.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places will make your Songs easier to place. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form.

The Label is interested in Artists and Bands that have gained some traction from actively working on their careers. Please detail (in your bio) what you are doing with your career. Include any impressive touring, fan base, sales, streaming, or social media figures.

CONTEMPORARY, ORGANIC-Based SINGER/SONGWRITER SONGS in a FOREIGN LANGUAGE (No Spanish or English) with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a U.K.-based Music & Media Company that's constantly landing placements in TV Shows, Film, and other Media.

We purposely avoided putting references in this request as we felt they could be more misleading or limiting than helpful.

Songs can be in languages as wide-ranging as Korean, Swahili, Arabic, Amharic, French, Italian, Mandarin, Russian, Hindi, Japanese, etc. Just no English or Spanish, please! Naturally, the most common languages will be more appealing to the client. Obscure languages from lesser-known countries could be less appealing to the Company.

Please submit excellent Singer/Songwriter Songs with captivating melodies, expressive, well-performed vocals, and plenty of mainstream appeal that could instantly draw viewers in. Your submissions should have engaging, well-crafted lyrics, memorable choruses, and tons of heartfelt, emotional energy that could work well for placements in TV and Film. Your arrangements can range from stripped-down to more filled out ideas. Organic, acoustic-based, live-performed instrumentation like acoustic guitar, piano, ukulele, etc. will suit your submissions best. Please be sure your production is polished, and if you choose to use any virtual sounds or instruments, please be sure they are high-quality and current-sounding.

Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, 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.

Quoting the Company: “Only artists/writers affiliated with ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, SACEM, IMRO, APRA AMCOS, SOCAN, including all Scandinavian and Latin American PROs, are eligible to submit their music for this opportunity.”

HEARTFELT SINGER/SONGWRITER SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a TAXI COMPILATION going directly to a WHOLE BUNCH of our favorite Music Licensing Companies, Music Supervisors, and Ad Agencies for Film, TV, and Advertising placements! As always, we hold the bar high for these compilations, but the end result is that virtually every Song on our comps gets signed. It's not uncommon for several companies to offer deals on the same piece. It's also not uncommon for the companies to ask our members to create new music for them, especially if they weren't fast enough to nail down a deal before their competitors did ;-)

We're searching for honest, emotionally moving Singer-Songwriter Songs in a range of emotions and moods including (but not limited to): Romantic love, Friendship, Finding myself, Missing you, Coming or going home, Lost without you, Breakup, Loss, Coping with life, Turned my life around, Feeling desperate, Feeling confused, Emotionally bruised, Finding happiness, Beautiful heart/soul, Don't give up, Feeling afraid, Feeling vulnerable, etc., etc., etc....

We're purposely not giving any references for this Listing because a wide range of Contemporary Singer/Songwriter Songs that effectively convey a mood or emotion that a music supervisor, executive producer, film director, or editor would find compelling and "useful" could all be fair game. Generally Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs can be more easily placed, but if you have really strong Ballads or Down-Tempo Songs, those could work, as well, in this context.

Our A&R team will have a simple mandate: Are they GREAT? Do they instantly capture, convey, or embellish an emotion or deepen a mood? Do they sound ready to go as is? Would they work well for placements in Film, TV, or maybe even Advertising? Would TAXI's music licensing clients be happy to hear them and want to sign them because they know they can make money with them? Once again, the bar will be high for this request.

Please send well-crafted Singer/Songwriter Songs that capture a heartfelt, sincere, and emotional mood and vibe. Captivating melodies, super memorable choruses, honest, well-crafted lyrics, and compelling, well-performed vocals are all needed for this request. Your arrangements can range on the Singer/Songwriter spectrum – from stripped-down to more filled-out ideas – just be sure they sound like a finished product. Your production needs to be well-balanced and generally competitive with top artists in the Singer/Songwriter genre. If you plan to use any virtual instruments or samples, they need to be high-quality and current-sounding, as well. This listing is looking for tracks that can add emotional impact to whatever is on screen (not just a pretty Song!), so if you've got those, send them this way!

Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands if you’d like to increase the chances of your Songs getting signed and ultimately landing placements. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

NOTE: No profanity for this request, please.

Because the selected music will be going directly to many different Music Licensing Companies (all over the world), deal terms may vary. However, since many of the Companies that will get this compilation are EXCLUSIVE Libraries, we ask that the Songs you pitch for this request are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. That includes any monetization, publishing, or publishing administration deals with online distributors like CD Baby, TuneCore, etc. If you don't want to sign an EXCLUSIVE deal, please don't submit for this listing. The companies that only do exclusive deals will not be willing to offer you (and you alone) a non-exclusive deal, no matter how much they love your piece(s). You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. And please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, June 4th, 2023. TAXI # S230604HF

IMPORTANT: This Library really wants to find top-notch Composers – not just people who combine different samples or loops without altering them at all. Cleared sample libraries are okay to use, but any samples or loops you include in your pieces should be altered enough that they're distinguishable from the originals. Basically, if you Shazamed one of your tracks and another artist's song comes up, your music would definitely be disqualified by this Company.

ALSO IMPORTANT: Your Submissions can NOT be commercially released on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. OR be encumbered by ANY other publishing, licensing, administration, and/or exploitation deals (whether non-exclusive or exclusive) including publishing/licensing agreements with CD Baby, TuneCore, etc.

NOTABLE: This film's Producer used a bunch of TAXI member's music in his last (few) films, and loved what he found so much that he came back for more!!

NOTE: The Filmmakers are open to hearing both high-quality vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), OR recently recorded Songs in the general production style of the reference.

Quoting the Music Supervisor: "We need a medium tempo, honky tonk Song for a line dancing scene. Needs to have organic instrumentation and Male Vocals. IMPORTANT: The Song should match tempo of the reference track."

Please submit '90s style Country Songs that could easily be line danced to and would work well as a replacement for the reference.

Organic Country instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the example will work best for this pitch – think guitars, fiddle, drums, bass, etc. Matching the tempo of the reference will be key to nailing this request as the dancing in the film is likely matched up to this tempo. Please be sure your production is well-balanced and any virtual sounds or samples you may choose to use are high-quality and very realistic sounding – nothing stiff or obviously MIDI-driven will work. If you have tracks that could sound at home in a honky tonk, this Supervisor wants to hear them!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and places will make your Songs easier to place. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality will work for vintage recordings.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $1,000, depending on the ultimate use. 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 License Fee and any applicable performance royalties.

A Bunch of Original, VINTAGE Late '70s to Mid '80s POP/ROCK SONGS with Female Vocals are needed by an A-List Music Publisher for Film and TV sync licensing.

This Publisher is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references we got directly from our contact at the Company:

"Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

"Crimson and Clover" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

"Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar

"Call Me" by Blondie

"Barracuda" by Heart

The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s broadcast quality, and you can submit old masters OR old demos.

Please submit original, vintage Pop/Rock Songs that were recorded between 1977 and 1986 that could sound at home on a playlist with artists like Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Blondie, Pat Benatar, and Heart. Your submissions should have super catchy melodies, unforgettable choruses, rockin' guitars, engaging grooves, top-notch musicianship, and über compelling, well-performed female vocals. Pop/Rock instrumentation that falls in the general wheelhouse of the references will work best for this request. Your production and arrangements need to be strong, well-balanced, and era-appropriate.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity are recommended, but not an absolute necessity.

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 great demo recordings - they love finding really good demos that sound like they should have been a hit back in the day, but never got signed or released! This Publisher is interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period. This is the hot, go-to company for a long list of extremely popular TV shows and Feature Films when music from a specific time period is needed.

The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the copyright, and you keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization. Win-win! This Company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with them because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens of TAXI members have signed buyout deals with this company. Several have even received upfront checks for $10,000 to $15,000 (or more!). Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the Songs signed.

Make sure your Songs were actually recorded BETWEEN 1977 and 1986, otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!

Your name needs to be on the copyright. Your Songs need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the Copyright and Master recordings to submit for this pitch. DO NOT SUBMIT FOR FRIENDS! Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, June 18th, 2023. TAXI # S230618JJ
