Lyricist Chris Breen's May 2006 News Blog
Apologies for this, but I'm gonna cheat for my first one and copy the news section (updated this week on 15 May 2006) from my Lyrico website (http://www.lyrico.co.uk) and paste it in... after that, I promise, I'll add to the blog live! Anyway, here goes...
STOP PRESS!
Great new pop-rock/Power Pop song "All I Want From Love" by Paul Jeffery and Chris Breen is produced by Norwegian producer Torgeir Bjordal of FUELLED Productions. Track available for male artists to cover* or for licensing. Hear the track now by clicking HERE!
*N.B. Female lyrics are available for All I Want From Love.
Chris has formed a Dance Music top-line and songwriting company with songwriter Paul Jeffery and dance record producer Decibelle/Sharon Sullivan. The company is called Sundance Songs and we specialise in extremely radio-friendly, accessible dance music, writing songs for artists to re-record as covers or, alternatively, using session vocalists and offering tracks as masters for licensing.
The first track to come out of Sundance Songs, Summer Love, gained a huge amount of interest, with discussions relating to licensing and recording happening with 6 or 7 companies in as many weeks. Click here to hear the track! In March negotiations continued and the team are in the process of signing a Licensing and Publishing deal. All being well, the track should be released and be commercially available across Europe this summer!
STOP PRESS AGAIN!
Full licensing deal signed to Motiv8 records on May 8 2006 for Summer Love. Watch this space!
