Hi everyone,
This will be the final gig I upload for my upcoming album. For this track, I’m looking for a male R&B artist to deliver powerful, soulful vocals in the build prior to the drop of the beat. Another male rapper has already submitted vocals but will not appear in the sample provided in this gig, though his lyrics will be provided to give you an idea on the theme of the song.
About my sound:
The genres I draw influence from include glitch hop, neurofunk, nu disco, hip-hop, rock, ambient, dubstep, jazz, and electronica. My artistic influences include Tycho, Shpongle, Pretty Lights, Glitch Mob, Aphex Twin, Seven Lions & Poolside, among others with similar sounds. If you haven’t heard their sounds, I suggest you do!
If you’re interested in submitting a sample/demo for this track, please read the specifications below before submitting:
1) Though the song already has lyrics from a separate vocalist with specific themes in mind, it is currently nameless, so feel free to name the song in alignment with the themes given by the other vocalist.
2) Its content involves the following themes:
A) Resilience and determination
B) Personal growth and success amidst adversity
C) Gratitude
D) Individuality and authenticity (marching to your own beat)
E) Spiritual metamorphosis* (this will be discussed later in point 4)
3) Your lyrics will come after the main verse. Here are the lead male’s lyrics prior to the build to the drop to help you:
Main Verse:
I’ve been focused, I know you noticed
They see me going hard, and I keep on flowin
Beam of light, every day I’m glowin
My mind is dialed in, and it keeps roamin
Well I’ve been soakin knowledge of the past
Took the lessons and I’m never going back
No stress ‘cause I’m only here counting blessings
My life is a story book that’s interestin
These days life is tough when I walk in my shoes
Wake up on a journey and I just can’t lose
Tryna find my truth, tryna find my peace
If I have to do it solo, then it’s fine by me
Something higher and present, something else of an essence
Been tryna to do right looking up to the heavens
Lucky number 7’s, gotta roll gotta play
It’s been hard, but I’m here just to see another day
Workin, hurtin, nothing’s for certain
I’m just myself until they close my curtain
Hopeless, broken, my soul wide open
The journey that I’m on is a reminder and a token
I’ve been pushing through, doing things they said I couldn’t
Proving critics wrong, doing things they said I wouldn't
Every day I make a step in the right direction
That’s what I call divine intervention
My mind is a roller coaster copin’
But now the higher up plan is in motion
(Your vocals here)
4) This follows from point “E” in point 3. In the build, given the lack of percussion, the musical tone is meant to be highly introspective and even psychedelic, as if there’s some sudden epiphany of higher wisdom—like a light at the end of the tunnel—building to some imminent, overwhelmingly positive outcome that is within reach but still seems quite far, as if something is clinging and pulling onto you and keeping you from materializing the thing you’ve been working so hard to reap. Hence, the duality of individual conscience striving for success but also some subconscious inhibition holding you back, as if you’re your own worst enemy.
5) Ignore the guitar’s long delay at the end of the sample. That’ll will be sorted in the final version.
6) If you use effects, that’s fine. But I’ll also need the dry stems in addition to the wet ones.
7) Finally, since this track is part of an upcoming album, your name will be featured in the title of the release.
If you’re okay with these specifications, feel free to place your bid. Feel free to DM and ask any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing what you’ve got!
