Brief Discussion
As we shift into holiday mode, we have seen an increase in demand for both instrumental and vocal jingles. Requests range from public domain covers to modern originals, capturing the dreamy and cheerful essence of togetherness, joy, and the holiday spirit. While Christmas music remains a common ask, many companies are also interested in non-denominational takes on holiday tunes, aiming for inclusivity and a more global approach.
We’re also seeing an influx of brands looking for ‘popular’ and ‘trending’ music. With TikTok and Instagram in the spotlight, many are looking to mimic the 'Top 40 sound' you can quickly find on the internet. Popular genres include hip-hop, R&B, dance pop, and music with percussive and dynamic beats.
