I received a brief, the deadline is pretty much immediate, so would have to be something one-stop with all assets in order.
From a company I work with:
We’re working on a children’s movie centered around lyrics of trees, forests, and the magic of the woods.
Creative Direction:
The client is looking for a track that captures the epic, wonder-filled escape-to-nature energy similar to the first reference. Think sweeping, cinematic, and emotionally uplifting.
However, because this is a very American film, the ideal track should blend that epic feel with an Americana twang—something earthy, heartfelt, and rooted in U.S. folk/heartland textures (see second reference).
1st Reference: "Running with the Wolves" - AURORA
2nd Reference: "Of Monsters and Men" - Dirty Paws
What Works Well:
Themes of adventure, nature, forests, discovery
Epic but warm, emotional, and kid-friendly
Americana influence—acoustic textures, folk leanings, organic instrumentation
Vocals or instrumental both acceptable
Tone:
Wholesome
Uplifting
Magical
Earthy and adventurous
Technical Requirements:
All submissions must include:
High-quality Master WAV + MP3
Instrumental version
A cappella version
Confirmed writer/producer splits
One-stop clearance (all collaborators must approve)
No unauthorized samples
No AI-generated music
