Pitch #2387
Dolly Parton. RE-OPENED! A Street Pitch guest and music publisher who has already generated income for SongU members is listening to songs for Dolly Parton. Note from the Pitch Guest: "In January of this year, I posted a Street Pitch opportunity for the Dolly Parton project and I was pitched a lot of super incredible songs. I'd like to thank each and every SongU writer for that. UPDATE: In a conversation with a member of Dolly's team just days ago, I was informed that Dolly is still actively and aggressively looking for THE song or songs to record on her next project. Therefore, I am re-opening the Dolly listing in hopes of landing YOU a coveted spot on her next project." Please read the ENTIRE brief before submitting.
What to Submit: Musically, Dolly wants songs with Pop elements, songs that are pop-leaning or lend themselves to a pop production. Any tempo. Lyrically, "don't look back"! Dolly is being pitched way too many songs that are "backward looking" and covering the same predictable ground. These are songs about where Dolly came from, how she got from there to here, what she wears, what she likes, how she looks, etc. Songs like this will not work. Relevant songs for this project should be in the present and/or forward-looking. Songs can, in some way, encapsulate the richness of her legacy and who Dolly is at her core, allude to her tradition of inclusiveness and acceptance, and can even nuance her Christianity. However, she doesn't want to browbeat anyone, so to speak, with her faith. Songs that inspire, have strong emotional elements, and resonate with the listener are also great contenders. Let's make this happen! I look forward to hearing your BEST Dolly pitches!!
Pitch Follow-up: If this guest expresses interest in your song, you will be asked to sign a single song agreement, executable only with a major cut.
