Song Choice

We have started the coursework for quite some time. However it has been very difficult for our group to find a piece of music to use, this is because we went for a specific genre. Therefore we didn’t have much to choose from as we were only concentrating on that particular genre.

The website that we used to search our music was unsigned.com as it was the most popular and used website in our school. Therefore the recommendation was high for us as the majority of RnB songs came from there. So we actually used the website and found 2 potential songs that we wanted to use for our coursework. Both of the songs belonged to the RnB genre and they were both different as one had a fast pace, whereas the other one was much slower. The first song that we were happy to use was called “Photo Shoot” from Cincere, and the song was basically focusing on a woman of his life that he would like to take and use as a photo shoot. Consequently the song tended to have a lot of sing focusing on the woman with a verse of another artist rapping. Our second and back up song was called “Apologise” from Solo Soul. The song was slower and it focused on forgiveness from a woman therefore the majority of the song was based on sing.

Here is a photo of our song choices from unsigned.com;

1. Cincere- Photo Shoot













2. Solo Soul- Apologise













So in order for us to receive permission to use the songs we had to contact the artists even though the songs were non copyrighted. As a result we researched the artists and we managed to find an email address for both artists. From there we wrote an email for both artist stating where we are from, who we are and why we wanted to use their music.

Here is a photo of the emails we sent to both artists;

1. Cincere













2. Solo Soul













However it has now been three weeks and unfortunately we haven’t received any replies from our emails. Therefore we concluded that we weren’t successful in getting our music as a result we have to find another alternative so that we can begin filming our coursework.
