Pitch #2468
Randall King. Veteran music publisher with multiple cuts on major artists is listening to songs for Warner Music recording artist Randall King.
Seeking: Strong, uptempo country songs with radio single potential. Absolutely no ballads. We're looking for something positive and energetic - songs that will get his crowd fired up. No rodeo or cowboy themes. He's not super young, so the lyrics should have substance that reflects his age and experience. Think smart, relatable, and current. The theme and style shouldn't lean too old-school. In short, aim for uptempo, solid country songs that connect with a younger market while still feeling authentic to him. Be sure to check him out on YouTube to get a feel for his voice and energy.
AI Guidelines: Based on the current copyright report (https://songu.com/FAQAI.aspx), this guest will only consider songs with entirely human-authored lyrics and human-authored melodies. AI may be used for demo production, but any such use of AI must be disclosed.
In general, here is what this pitch guest is seeking in every song that is pitched to them:
-- Fresh ideas and interesting titles; lead directly to the title in a strong way to make the title stand out.
-- Get your first verse set up much quicker to grab the listener within the first 30 seconds from when it starts. Most of the time, I don't even get to the second verse if the first verse does not draw me in. Your song may not need a pre-chorus. Try to get to the point and make it pay off quickly.
-- Before pitching, please do your research. Really listen to the artist and see what kind of songs they like to cut. Figure out what they like, how they sing, and what songs they lean toward.
-- Please read the description/brief and submit only what we request. For example, if we're looking for uptempo, only send uptempo. If we mention "no drinking songs", then please don't send a drinking song.
-- Read a lot for new ideas and stories. For Country songs, understand the writing of great writers like Shane McAnally, Michael Hardy, Don Schlitz, Bobby Braddock, Lori McKenna.
Pitch Follow-up: If this guest expresses interest in your song, they will pitch it with the understanding that you will be asked to sign a single song agreement with the publishing company if there is interest in the song.
