James Dupre – Another Love Song Contest 2024

Thomas LaRocca - Another Love Song Mix Contest

Used the I-bVII-IV progession for the chorus/verse/bridge.

Sunshine

Inspired by La Perla Del Caribe in Belize and the "Foreign Language" theme of the songaweek subreddit.

La Perla

Went for an old school R&B rock 'n' roll thing.  I started with the first 3 words "I've been tryin'" and went from there.  The song isn't autobiographical, and the character here tries to move on from being dumped, but can't get past it, even though he knows he should.

Slow 12/8 rock 'n' roll demands a saxophone solo, so I recorded one along with some call and response stuff for the final chorus.

Move On

Summertime in Queens

To me, new school = trapstep, the unholy marriage of trap and dubstep.
So I made the most generic sounding trap song possible and put a drop in the middle.
Trapstep.
By the way, the track is apolitical. Not trying to make any statements here.
