Label/Publisher is seeking songs for release, publishing, sync placement opportunities, and promotion. We have a proven record of placing songs with major networks and brands such as FOX, ABC, Roxy, Forever 21, Specialized, etc.

We are specifically seeking music from artists that have a timeless sound. The overall vibe of the label is one of honest music with warm vintage emotion. We are looking for Singer-Songwriter, Folk, Americana, Alt. Country that evokes emotion. We lean toward a more melancholy sound so please no “fun” or overly “happy” songs. At the moment we are only seeking single songs. By focusing on singles we can target specific markets when promoting and seeking sync placements. This also allows us to craft the labels’ “sound” while acting as a discovery vehicle for new and emerging artists.

IMPORTANT: Artists must be willing to sign the master & publishing rights to the selected song over to the label and publisher. The songwriter/writers will retain 100% of the writing credit and will receive all royalties for their share. In addition, an advance will be paid to the writer/performer for the song in an amount to be determined. The advance then becomes a recoupable expense. After the advance is recouped, all income generated by the song will be split 50/50.

Our label is distributed by our digital aggregator, The Orchard, and releases will be available on every major retailer and streaming service including iTunes, Spotify, IHeartRadio, Amazon, YouTube, Google Music, rDio, Shazam, Flipagram, etc.

Brief Description: Sync Opp: Campaign for the Secret Boutique Whiskey.

We have a client looking for a track for a prestigious European Boutique Whiskey brand. (Identity undisclosed)

Creative Details from Client

Project Overview:
Develop a captivating campaign for the secret Boutique Whiskey, set to launch this year. The campaign emphasizes fearless creativity, aiming to resonate with audiences through compelling storytelling.

Music Requirement:
The selected track should exude an indie rock vibe akin to "Welcome to my Island," featuring a strong beat and uplifting vocals. The overall tone should channel the spirit of artists like Karen O and Caroline, with a distinct "left of the dial" appeal. The lyrics must strike a balance between relevance and neutrality, avoiding overly celebratory or melancholic themes. The emphasis lies on impactful vocals and a dynamic progression that complements the video narrative.

Client Preferences:
Preferably vocals-driven, with lyrics that resonate without veering into clichéd or overly empowering territory. The song should possess a certain edge while maintaining a universal appeal.

Exclusivity and Usage:
Exclusivity is granted to similar brands within the whiskey industry. The global campaign spans across various mediums, including social media, CTV/digital platforms (limited to the US and UK), and Out-of-Home advertising. Usage rights extend for one year across all channels, with paid media usage restricted to six months in the US, UK, and Sweden.

Budget:
Total budget allocation stands at $30,000 All-In (Less all Fees), covering all aspects of music acquisition and licensing.

Additional Notes:
Creativity and relevance are paramount in song selection, aligning closely with the brand's ethos and the campaign's overarching theme of fearless innovation.
