Empowerment anthem? Pure Pop Perfection? One woman who can't stop singing the word 'OH', like, a thousand times? #ALLTHEABOVE. Plucky piano and voices start us down the road of spunky self-determination, while the hand claps and 'heys' of your squad (along with the synthesizers of your nerds) provide additional motivation. Happy, fun and proudly-80s-influenced. Knowingly cheesy guitars kick off the second half, which begs to have some kind of montage behind it in which someone is wearing sweatbands and doing sit-ups repeatedly for no clear reason. Inspirational, catchy and uplifting with a bouncy beat- what else do you want? ASIDE FROM THE SINGER TO STOP SINGING THE WORD 'OH'.

Feel-good, positive inspirational SynthPop that goes from small/intimate to large/driving, that has left me with goosebumps, a flush of excitement, chills and loss of feeling/numbess in my extremities. Oh shit. I'm having a stroke. The cut starts with sweet-sounding processed ostinato synths and a simple, distant acoustic piano melody (recorded on iPhone) that builds in tenor @:08 and @:17. Chugging synths and electric guitars create a propulsive, evolving sense of optimism, wonder and hope, like 'I hope worker's comp covers stroke.' A simple, four-on-the-floor bed of electronic kick and synth bass provides a simple bit of happiness before the chugging, celebratory final reprise start @1:07, featuring a synth lead. Uplifting cut that's good for overcoming the odds, PSAs, and the upsetting realization that my sudden incontinence isn't even a stroke symptom.

Brass-driven attitudinal nightlife cut, ready to show up, party and steal that girl you've spent all night chatting up, which is fortunate, as you forgot you were at a family reunion. Quirky processed bari sax creates a winding intro melody as the cut kicks in @:08, adding drum machines, synth bass, jangling coins, throbbing synths, electric guitar and a Rock/Funk horn section that beer-commercials the mood right up. Positive with a serious, but playful attitude, this cut works for advertising alcohol, suggesting expensive bars, glossy urban and celebrating anything but sobriety.

Vampire nightclub! Glossy, synth-driven, neutral-to-positive-to-haunting Synth Pop/Nu Gaze party music, suggesting soirees in ultra-chic lofts, thrown by attractive, rich people who serve the poor- as appetizers. Mysterious, delayed, glassy and voice-like synths start the cut, along with synth bass and clapping. @:08 huge synths and synthetic drums enter, creating a sense of uplift and positivity with dynamic breaks throughout. A simple claps- and bass-only section @:33 suggests time passing, that grows linearly back into the full mix. Good for technological mysteries and suggesting an upscale lifestyle with a touch of danger, like a manic-depressive KITT.

Loaded with driving electrical energy, frenetic, leg-humping, borderline out-of-control cartoon-like ferocity that feels like a videogame at too high a voltage. Distorted synths and a pounding beat set the stage for drama, danger, fun, excitement and perhaps a little sexy glamour- like hitting on John Cena's date at the Emmys. Second half has a madman-at-the-keyboard feel that's almost Baroque with fast slowing synths and urgent rhythms. Kicks back in @1:19. If there were ever an animated celebrity military force, this would be their attack song. Works for entertainment, animation, kid's programs, sports, and commercials.

Funk/Pop/Disco/EDM party music. This intensely-happy mashup fuses several dance music flavors that all come together in a happy, sweaty, hopefully delicious funktail. Begins more on the funk side, with in-the-pocket guitar, vocal snippets along with disco beats and horn stabs. Keeps getting funkier and dancier all the way to :29. After :30 becomes much more EDM with lyric 'All that ways' there for drama. Big, tense rise/buildup @1:43 drops to the funky guitar, claps and drums @1:57, joined by the other party-goers @2:06 who just keep dancin' the night away. Good for events, concerts, dancing and... Yes that's a tacked-on ending. You're welcome. Ingrates.

Bright, confident dance pop with a ridiculously catchy male vocal. This relentlessly upbeat song is scientifically engineered to conjure images of twinkly-eyed unicorns with laser scarves piloting champagne-bottle planes under sunny skies. Opens with 'Whoas' over a building EDM bed that really takes off @:17. Happy claps and acoustic guitar @:39 warm up the vibe and adds yet another layer of positivity. Great for commercials, events, corporate, branding. (BTW, anyone else find it ironic that this song's first vocals are 'Whoa'?)

A trippy trip down memory lane. 40's Swing meets happy, propulsive Synth Pop but has children that look like Charlie Sheen, because that guy has slept with EVERYONE. Starting with processed/old-radio-sounding big band music and Andrews Sisters-esque vocals, acoustic guitar and acoustic bass the cut explodes into frenzied dance club activity @:15 by adding synths, electronic kick drum, slide guitar and synth bass. A series of hits @1:02 begin a short vocal-free section, returning to a vocal build @1:21 and a power-down @1:27 before returning to the main theme. Good for celebrations, children's programs, making the old seem new and making the old WWII saying 'let's bring the boys home' sound much dirtier.

VH005809
2:03
Two feels juxtaposed: Bubblegum Pop and tough guitar-driven Rock, eventually combining them both. Starting with a light synth lead and churning guitars/synths beneath, the cut explodes into a mid-tempo wash of synth-heavy good-feeling positivity @:09, appropriate for female-empowerment, kid-friendly daydreams and all-bunny nightclubs. However, @:30 a gritty electric guitar line from the Pop section is isolated, adding insistent drums and electric bass giving the cut a driving feel, suggesting competition, sports and toughness. @1:09 we return to the Pop section, with a subtle tougher edge, like added vocal 'heys' and heavier drums.
-
VH005810
1:44
Fun, quirky and celebratory cut that features an unnaturally pitched-up vocal melody that's a combination of J-Pop and Indie SynthPop, appropriate for holidays, image spots, lighthearted sports and accidental castration. A gritty guitar arpeggio, electronic drums and synths galore provide a driving bed for what seems like a very happy little bunch of testicle-free elves, with the full, propulsive mix starting @:13. Various mix-outs throughout, providing plenty of breaks and changes in feel. The mix thins @:46 removing most of the synths, leaving stuttering guitars and vocals.

VH005811
1:22
Fun but serious- like AP kindergarten or a drunk Kierkegaard, this uplifting/positive, pulsing, driving Indie SynthPop cut features a simple, insistent synth/electric bass throb and breath-like reversed hi-hats that provide a propulsive bed for electronic drums and a four-on-the-floor kick @:07 and a celebratory, carefree piano-like synth melody @:14. Good for suggesting youthful exuberance, image spots, positivity and forward motion. Getting a headache? Breaks @:33 and @:55 provide brief pauses from the constant synth pulsing. I'd describe more, but as K-man said, 'once you label me, you negate me.' I'd like to negate that asshole. Hey- I just did!

Get down or give it up? Bust it loose or keep it tight? And 'hot' means 'cool'? Oh, Funk, why must you confuse me so? Dirty, slippery, and greasy (hello, Guy Fieri's thong) this funky ditty will have you putting on your dancin' shoes, boogie-oogieing boots, or, in my case, Velcro-fastening orthotics. A CDC-grade-infectious sax and organ riff drives this track straight to funkyland, where everyone is ready to party and even the morgues have disco balls. Bass and drums are on their own (mostly) @:32 providing a good alternate beginning, then kicks back in @1:01 for full funkitude. 70s sounds with modern production make this perfect for celebrities, celebrations, or happy times.

Advertising something upscale but fun? Flirtatious, slick and Euro-sounding. Midtempo, laid-back, Pop-tinged Funk cut that uses a perky synth lead, synth bass, drum machines, accordion, rhythmic breathing and piano to create a bouncy, fun but sophisticated bed of lighthearted attitude, making this cut good for advertising cosmetics, suggesting hip nightlife or fun activities for you and your significant otter. Yes, otter. That's not a typo.

VH005814
1:39
Fun + danger. Like playing leapfrog with a narwhal. Deceptively light remixed attitudinal Rock that gets more serious. A rolling acoustic guitar and four-on-the-floor kick drum provides a thoughtful, slightly dramatic, news-like bed of movement. @:09 the cut grows in tenor with swelling electric guitars, acoustic/electronic suggesting growing tension until @:17 explosions of a guitar-amped brass melody suggest a dark celebration, sports, important decisions, chest-pounding image spots, slightly tense anticipation and having your spouse notice the greasepaint stains on your collar. A good time-passing bed @:32 starts with an electric bass and tambourine that slowly builds back up to the main mix.

Trying to make your Zima-esque carbonated alcoholic drink seem cool? Good luck. This flirtatious, sophisticated, tech-savvy SynthPop cut uses pulsing synth bass, electronic drums, sampled vocal snippets and a catchy synth/sax hook to suggest that someone, somewhere is having a lot of sex- but not Zima. A simple percolating bed @:33 slowly builds back to the main mix. Good for stories about the glossy, expensive nightlife of a city, an expose on high-priced escorts, one who is probably named 'Zima.' Or Tracii.

1:46
Feisty, powerful synth-pop with an 80s vibe and attitudinal female vocals. Determined to win whatever needs winning, this inspiring cut features more keyboards than the Casio museum. @:51 pauses for a strangely pensive/moody break, then @1:02 the singer and kick drum come back angrier than ever with a big super-motivating moment @1:17. Works for lighter dramas, unscripted/reality shows, beating the odds, or anything using the word empowerment in connection with sporting equipment.

The musical equivalent of slapping someone across the face, this gritty, loud, stop/start-feeling 90s Alt Metal cut violently suggests extreme sports, confrontations and that someone has some issues with authority. Climbing stabs of busy drums and distorted electric guitars alternate with crowd cheers to suggest gladiatorial combat and that marriage counseling isn't going so well. @:30 a bed of percolating synths and drums provides a loopable bed of activity while a radio-noise-like lead @:43 builds tension and suggests a Technology-based crisis. The cut returns to the main stop/start, guitar-driven theme @:50.
-
VH005818
1:32
Annoyingly joyful, bouncy, and celebratory, this Indie Pop/Worldbeat cut suggests spring break, sunny travel destinations and fun days spent on the beach- but not so much if you're a humpback whale. Or leatherback turtle. Or my Aunt Ginger who apparently still has natural predators. After a guitar-driven introduction, @:11, drums, electric/synth bass, processed percussion, clapping and cheap Farfisa organ lead you on a happy, uptempo trip down memory lane (or wherever you were taken into a basement and forced to join a cult). Great for travelogues, children's programs and weekends.
-
VH005819
2:00
Bouncy futuristic SynthPop optimism. A sing-song vocoded girl-ish vocal (note: actually a man), swirling synths and a buzzy synth bass suggest fields of computer-generated flowers, a shining sun and being mauled by a CareBear - lovingly. @:09 the cut gets lusher and more inspirational, with drum machines and waves of analog synths. @:28 a bed of simple 80s synth bass, repetitive synth lead and drum machines suggest time passing. @:52 a section of swelling angelic voices suggests Christmas or heaven/afterlife, returning to the celebratory main theme @1:19. Good for innocent celebrations, happy daydreams and kids programming.
-
VH005820
1:53
Tough and shiny. Fun-ish SynthPop attitude with a technology-friendly subtext. Appropriate for pro wrestling entrances, strutting, way-overblown machismo, clumsy strippers, and aiming for suave, but falling several feet short. Pulsing buzzy synths, electronic drums, synth bass and a processed male 'oh'ing vocal hook create a loping, forward-moving feel that's made bigger @:17 with an additional brassy synth lead added. Various transitory synth-based sound design throughout gives the cut a feeling of tech-friendliness.
-
VH005821
1:47
Anthemic, celebratory woman's-vocal-driven Bubblegum Pop cut that's appropriate for breakthrough emotional moments, defying the odds, or suggesting women being empowered, deputized or commissioned. Okay - sometimes a thesaurus does not help at all. Starting with unassuming staccato acoustic piano and a synth melody, the cut explodes into an inspirational, positive, call-to-arms @:06, with big synth pads, drums (loops and programmed), staccato strings, synth bass and soaring, monosyllabic woman's vocals that makes you feel proud, happy to be alive or at least aware that highly inarticulate people are finding singing jobs (or have stubbed their toes). @:31 a longer bed of the drums and piano starts again, suggesting anticipation and forward movement. @:59 a smaller-feeling synth and vocal break leads back to the full, uplifting mix @1:27.

VH005822
1:35
Slick, bouncy, laid-back club music that brings to mind glossy nightlife, beautiful vacation spots, and that a moratorium should be placed on sampled saxophones until I'm dead. This mellow Ibiza-esque SynthPop cut starts with playful, delayed synths and simple drum machines, then breaks into a catchy, straightforward club feel, breaking out a sampled sax line @:13, giving the cut a fun, lighthearted feel while remaining sexy. @:30 the cut relaxes into a percolating synth bed with rhythmic waves of angelic pads that returns to the main sax-driven theme @:57. Brassy arpeggiated synths enter @1:14 to toughen it up slightly. Not for the saxophobic.

Ever try to Giorgio Moroder someone to death? This big, brash Techno/Rock/ElectroDisco cut will forcefully fill every cavity of your body with excitement - like foam insulation or a prison sentence. Atop a bed of four-on-the-floor electronic kick, busy percolating synths and driving electric bass, throbbing, wave-like brass-like synths and electric guitars crash in @:14 and create a driving, throbbing, aggressive sense of tense celebration like an overwhelming, over-stimulating, evil nightclub. A thrumming bass-driven bed @:33 builds with swells of Wagnerian brass, eventually returning to the main mix/theme @1:02. Good for sports, aggressive celebrations or building excitement.
-
VH005824
1:17
Woozy, off-balance Tarantino-esque 60s Surf-Pop evokes a sun-kissed setting with violent secrets. Vintage guitars, horn stabs and fizzy organ combine with sampled beats, hand claps and a hint of contemporary synths to create the sonic equivalent of a perfectly-degraded retro-modern photo. Breakdown @:32 with just the bass and some spring-reverbed finger snaps is tense in an understated way. Provides vibey momentum with hints of danger and works great for when ugly things happen in pretty places.

VH005825
1:39
Anthemic, upbeat and building with a warm, fuzzy glow. Imagine filtered sunlight, waves of grain, millennials crafting quilts or whatever markers of artisanal, organic, sustainable, authentic, empowering messaging is on your docket today. @:16 drums come in, followed by yearning vocals/violin-driven lead- making it one giant, feathered bass drum short of bombastic. Second half starts with flittering acoustic guitars and floaty vocal pads, than surges forward @1:00 slowly gathering momentum until the flags are waving, the elderly couples are hugging, the grandchildren are laughing and the ad creatives are sobbing silently on the inside.

Let's celebrate! Positive, perky and fun 80s-tinged Indie Pop/New Wave cut that will get your toe tapping, especially if you suffer from restless leg syndrome. Hyperactive chorused electric guitars, gated electronic drums and synths galore make this break-filled cut perfect if you're announcing glossy products/cosmetics, trying to Molly Ringwald someone, promoting sports, taking a vacation/road trip, or powercizing, this cut is for you! Enjoy a brief introspective synth break @:31, returning to the catchy-as-heck main theme @:38. Hey, smoke up, Johnny!
