Prize: Pull some strings and get the winning song on radio! Or something along that line. Haha.

This sounds like fun; I forsee an influx of acoustic crooning.

All genres welcomed? Imagine some brutaldeathcoregrindmetal love song. Heh.

Will all the songs be available for downloads? How would the winner be chosen, anyways?

Aiya... too bad,
I just post one love song with singing in OM before reading this thread.
Else can use that for this composition.
Sigh...
I think that is the only one song that I do with singing.
dun have chance to come out anymore...

 

[RoRK]

instrumental's allowed? i cant sing for nuts.

Aiyah. Just 'sing' one or two words lah and then hum a few parts. Just say "my love" at the end of each verse and then say "your face" at the end of the chorus. And like James said, do it with a Leanne Rymes type of voice - sure make it.

Cheers
RoRK

SOFT: hi john, how are things over your side?

John: Great! I have been signed by XYZ Company as a songwriter. One of my song has been selected for the upcoming album for ABC.

SOFT: WOW! That's awesome.

John: Ya man. It is all thanks to SOFT. They actually heard my demo on the SOFT radio and they contacted me.

SOFT: Really?

John: REALLY!

The above was an MSN conversation I had with one SOFTie who found his way to the commercial music business. Hopefully, more aspiring songwriters/producers will be discovered among SOFTies and live the dream they wanted.
