I know this is a good song, but something's not working
"What is this song missing?" Is the hook solid"? "Are the first 3 lines strong enough to hold someone's attention?" "Is the bridge more of a chorus than the actual chorus?" More times than not writers have all the ideas and great parts but the set-up may be off. It's like a joke that has a great punch line but the delivery is off and so no one laughs at the right time. Also, sometimes you've written more than you need. Remember, the best songs seem to be the most simple.

Are Your Tracks Radio Ready?
No matter what the style of music, for popular appeal there are elements of production, performance & structure that must be in place to make the track what is known as "Radio Ready". Find out what your tracks may be missing before you waste time & money on pressing & attempting to shop the songs. In the biz, will only get one listen! Even if it's not what the prospect may be looking for, you will establish yourself as A list or B and the latter is very tough to shake - don't take that chance!

Lets talk about your song structure first. I facilitate a song writer's workshop on the structure and lyric of a song. I can make suggestions and offer advice as to the three basic elements; melody, lyrics, harmony. We can also talk about the demo process.
