David Foster's 10 Tips for Songwriters

From BMI VIDEO: David Foster's "10 Tips for Songwriters" from his speech upon accepting the BMI Icon Award.

BMI held its 59th annual Pop Music Awards Tuesday, May 17 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles. David Foster was celebrated as a BMI Icon, and an all-star musical tribute featuring Brian McKnight, Keri Hilson, Cody Karey, Courtney Blooding and Chaka Khan celebrated his career. Lady Gaga, Jason Derülo and JR Rotem all became the BMI Pop Songwriters of the Year; Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" garnered Pop Song of the Year honors for co-writers Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley and publishers DWHaywood Music, RADIOBULLETSPUBLISHING and Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp; and Sony/ATV Songs LLC claimed the Pop Publisher of the Year crystal. Hosted by BMI President & CEO Del Bryant, along with Barbara Cane, BMI Vice President/General Manager, Los Angeles, and Phil Graham, BMI Senior Vice President, Writer/Publisher Relations, the ceremony also saluted the writers and publishers of the past year's 50 most-performed pop songs on U.S. radio and television.


David Foster prouduced Along The Red Ledge by Daryl Hall and John Oates which for the most part sounds nothing like most of what each has done before and after. Great record though. "Don't Blame It On Love" is outstanding.

Ilona! Sampled In Electric Chair 3000's " Le Dancer"

One of my most recent upload to Audiosparx is a French dance instrumental called "Le Dancer."  This song was inspired after listening to an online radio station called Le Mouv to get idea of what is happening in French pop music.

A lot of French Pop is  fast paced, upbeat dance music that combines elements of House and Electronica. Think Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas. That kind of music.

"Le Dancer" features two female vocal samples. The first female vocal  is spoken in  French and is saying "J'ai tiens beaucoup de la danse  " which  means "I enjoy dancing" in English.  The female is not listed at Internet Archives.

This sample was taken from a Librivox audio book online called, "French Self Taught" by Franz J. L. Timm.  As it says at the Librivox section at Internet Archives, all Librivox recording are in the Public Domain.   

The second female vocal is by Ilona Europa (pictured)  from Sony's "Ilona: Universal Female Vocal Toolkit."  I got this and many other vocal sample for free from Sony's website.  However, I like the samples so much that I will buy the entire set of loops by Europa.

So go and listen to "Le Dancer" at Audiosparx and if you want to license it for a media production, join Audiosparx if you're not a member already.
