Seeking Full Songs/Demos/Tracks for Korea/China
Both Korea and China have their specific styles and sounds. Some cross each other but they aren't normally the same.
Korea is a little more Old School Funk/R&B with new Pop/Edm elements. Always has to have lots of changes and lots of energy. I.E. Intro, Verse A, Verse B, Pre, Chrous, Post/Tag and Bridge.
China doesn't relate so much with Funk but some R&B still works well. China Doesn't need as many different sections as Korea but still needs to clearly define the Verses from the Chorus and Bridge.
Both Korea and China favorites are BALLADS! Piano/Guitar and Voice is their favorite style and will always have a good chance of a placement. China likes the old American 80's/90's style ballad a lot.
The Best Reference I can give you is a song I produced for the KPop Group "Got7" it's called "Just Right"
I get this as a reference for almost every boy band or girl group looking for music in Asia. It hit #3 on the World Billboard Charts and It's one of the top 10 most viewed Kpop videos on youtube.
Baauer - Temple ft. M.I.A., G-DRAGON
This is a good reference for China as well. More on the urban/edgy side.
I won't be able to give a detailed critique to everyone but if you get a response it will most likely be to talk about moving forward with pitching your song!
Thanks so much guys! I have a lot more projects coming soon along with my personal DJ/Artist project I'm working on.
Stay connected!
