Looking for: Raw and emotionally driven Blues songs for inclusion in various media projects. Material should reflect a soulful, authentic energy with strong instrumentation and expressive vocals. We're looking for songs that carry a sense of lived experience--whether through heartbreak, hardship, resilience, or longing. Styles may range from stripped-back acoustic performances to electric guitar-driven productions, provided the emotional core and grit remain present throughout. Vintage-inspired sounds and modern interpretations are both welcome as long as they retain a genuine connection to the Blues tradition.
Compositions should showcase solid musicianship, natural rhythmic flow, and tasteful production. Live instrumentation is strongly preferred or should at least emulate the warmth and feel of organic players. Vocals should be distinct, character-rich, and expressive without being overly polished. Tracks that evoke Southern heat, emotional weariness, personal redemption, or hard-earned strength will work particularly well.
Submissions can reflect Delta Blues, Chicago Blues, Soul-Blues, Swamp Blues, or contemporary Blues-Rock hybrids. Tempos can vary from slow-burning ballads to steady mid-tempo grooves or foot-stomping anthems. The focus should remain on emotional resonance, grit, and character--tracks that feel lived in and resonate beyond surface-level production.
