Hi everyone, as the post title says, I need your help! 8)
Ive heard from a songplugger that some former boy bands are looking for songs that are very much pop but with "a nod to Nashville"
Im guessing he means a Ronan Keating kind of acoustic guitar based pop song like; "When you say nothing at all"
Can anyone point me to new songs from Westlife, Take That, BSB etc, that might fall into this description?
Im working on a new song called; "You'll be in my arms again" and would like some reference tracks to help me choose the arrangement and production for the song.
Thanks very much, I know you guys have the knowledge! ;) ;D

ooh, I wonder which boybands? sounds interesting. I'm a little bit disappointed though, pop songs with "a nod to Nashville" sound way too safe, though I suppose it sells well.
Anyway, the song that came to mind is Take That's "Patience", a great song. It probably doesn't have a nod to Nashville, but it's not too bubblegum pop.
BSB's "Incomplete" also has that mature pop sound to it.
BSB's "Helpless When She Smiles" --single from "Unbreakable". Totally coulda been a country song, and was co-written by some Nashville writers. (Great song, too ;)
Thanks Bec and George!
Ill check those songs out. ;)
Great song choices!
"Patience" reminds me a tiny bit of the "MMM MMM MMM" song buy the crash test dummies - not melodically or anything, just the rhythm.
"Helpless When She Smiles" has a huge country vibe going for it!
