That makes them album cuts, but they are not ever going to be a commercial single record. Some songs you write with your heart, but commercial songs are written for your pocketbook. If a woman doesn't like your song, you might as well shred it. Our entire market is driven by a female demographic. If you forget this as a songwriter, you haven't got the first commercial song for radio or retail.
Music is a form of escape for people.
Finally, if the songs that you are writing are not lining up with the questions on this page, then you need to review your writing and start over. Every producer, artist, and publisher will ask these questions as they are examining songs. If you want a big cut in the industry, then you will have to write a commercially viable song for the bigger, national and international marketplace with a universal theme that is so well written that it could be a hit on any artist. Each songwriter or songwriting team may enter a total of four songs to be considered each quarter. Every three months, winners will be announced via our songwriter's listbot message center.
