Secrets
Warm, summery hip hop. Fat synth chord intro, retro and fuzzy, trap beats and cute, bleepy melody line added, then jazzy vocal samples. Chilled, calm and breezy, perfect laid back soundtrack to fashion content or a free-wheeling TV sequence.
Paradise
Breezy summer beats. Wonky flute-like synth pads with tinkling piano. Big synth melody enters before a sexy and satisfying beat drop. Bright and breezy trap beats give way to sparkling chimes for the break. Blissful, laid back and cool, like a warm summer breeze, perfect jam for pop culture content.
Listen
Breezy hip hop with piano. 90s R’n’B style piano chords intro with distant reverb-laden vocal samples. Tight beat drops, slow and smooth. Shaker beats and orchestral string samples bring more of the 90s R’n’B flavour. Melancholy, romantic, sensual, yearning; sitting home, waiting for that telephone to ring…would suit a thoughtful, glamorous fashion advert or documentary/TV drama.
Contemplative
Gentle piano and acoustic guitar instrumental. Simple piano melody joined by calming, repetitive acoustic guitar, a key change brings freshness before a blissful section of gentle humming strings like bees hovering on a flower. Chilled, serene and romantic, delicate music for a thoughtful nature documentary or hopeful TV/Film scene full of blossoming love.
Can’t Stop Me
Blues rock stomper with attitude. Low-key, anticipatory build up on bass, drums and electric guitar, a heavy, stomping drum groove introduces a raw blues guitar riff and Black Keys-style scuzzy electric guitars. A psychedelic vocal refrain, ‘Can’t Stop Me Now’ of close male harmonies breezes in over the plodding beat. Shredding guitars solo before fade out. Cool, determined and badass, clean, slick, American blues rock for an advert or TV sequence with swagger.
Dumpling
Kalimba-infused weirdo hip hop. Thumb piano samples looped to create a polyrhythmic, high-life-style groove. Bassy hip hop beats drop in, giving a syncopated rhythm throughout. Vinyl scratching samples bring a modern edge. Upbeat, danceable and off-kilter, a wonky beat-driven, African-influenced track, perfect for a travel or youth culture documentary, or fun online content.
Isolation
Modern country track instrumental with orchestral strings. Acoustic guitar plays a snaking country-style melody with cheeky pizzicato strings on countermelody. Syncopated beats and bass guitar build a deeper groove throughout. Sassy, fresh and fun, with nods to country and western roots, like Billy Ray Cyrus doing hip hop, perfect for a dynamic advert for a refreshing summer beer on a sticky summer’s day, or for a breezy American-style commercial.
In Retrospect
Deep house 90s-style track. Heavy beats with intermittent colourful breathy synths. House synth chords and hi-hats build momentum, choral-like synths swell and more beats drop. Fun squeaks and playful high pitched synths add light-hearted texture. Sincere and thoughtful, yet fun and playful, perfect for TV sports coverage, an edgy urban documentary or a cool advert.
Dangerous
Dreamy synths under hip hop beats with helium vocal samples. Male vocal samples interspersed with child-like vox, like Sampha in a tender duet with a chipmunk. Laid back beats and rippling piano chords keep it chilled. Thoughtful, gentle and soft in contrast with the chunky beats. Would suit emotional or tongue-in-cheek content.
