A modern pop, rock crossover track combining guitars, piano and synths, this track has a warm, friendly and universal appeal to it. Not to hard, not too soft, this blend is just right for those looking for something that has a little edge but doesn't take over too much.
A friendly and wholesome pop-rock track. Melodic and heartfelt, with acoustic and electric guitars. Great for popular media, film, drama, and much more. Happy, joyful and bouncy with a funky bridge.
Searching, Confident, Resolute
Mid-tempo swinging country blues, with plenty of twangy guitars and Telecaster picking. Electric slide guitars over bass and drums -- classic country stuff.
