One final appreciation post for JW2305.

When you commission an album that you know has heap load of potential, that’s great. But when you commission an album that you know has potential, but is so multi-faceted, you have no real idea where that potential is going to land, THAT is EXCITING.

It’s filmic in feel, that’s for sure. But this one feels like an album that has no bounds!

JW2307 The Art Of Time & Space. Guitar ensembles

JW2307 The Art Of Time & Space.

Guitar ensembles perfect for the world of film score. As the title suggests, this album carefully considers pace, pauses, textures and the placement of instrumentation to truly immerse its listener.

Envision scenes of drama, reflection, regret and more, listening to this gorgeous album, co-written by talented composers, Cameron McBride & Paul Cuddeford.

We loved that @chasheofficial sent us some pictures and videos during the recording process of JW2304 Where Happiness Grows.

We acknowledge it has been a very strange, challenging year for musicians, but, Chashe’s sparkle still shines through in these pics. ✨

Sound ON 🔈

@chasheofficial has nailed every genre she has written in on this album. We love how evocative all of her works are. Just look/listen to how RIGHT ‘In This Chaotic World’ sounds with this imagery.

Yep, we are real happy to have this album in our repertoire.

We have been so eager for the completion of our latest album, JW2304 Where Happiness Grows. Mostly because it is written and produced by @chasheofficial

What.A.Talent

We know everyone describes their music as eclectic, but this album… Romance in the 21st century, explored through contemporary r&b/pop/EDM/jazz. Complete with beautiful, soulful female vocals.

DO NOT MISS THIS ONE. Check the link in our bio.

JW2303 A Swallow’s Song is a perfect soundtrack

JW2303 A Swallow’s Song is a perfect soundtrack for life’s current trajectory - the flowers are blossoming, there is a sense of hope in the air, and it feels as though it could be the start of new beginnings for many.

We are a little obsessed with how beautiful our latest release, JW2303 A Swallow’s Song, looks and sounds.

A simply stunning collection of piano and string pieces with themes of hope, nature, reflection, and adventure. Written by talented composers @timclarkemusic, and Catherine Dearsley.

It takes all kinds of music to create a successful music library, and sometimes productions require tracks that fit the ‘less is more’ remit.
This is where the likes of our latest release, JW2302 Light & Bright really has a chance to shine, fitting the oxymoronic nature of being subtle, but still having punch & impact!

Adventurous ☑️
Mischievous ☑️
Playful ☑️
Ambitious ☑️

The list could go on! But we’ll stop, and we’ll let you take a listen to ‘Hop, Skip & A Jump’ from the album with some happy, awe-inspiring footage.

Can you tell that our latest release, JW2302 Light & Bright, is made of the wholesome stuff? A fantastic collection of light and bright mandolin and string-led pieces from composers, Richard Kent and David Jones. Ticking boxes for friendly ad-folk and soundtracking cooking programmes, but hey, as per our previous posts, our music ends up in the most unusual, wonderful of places, too!

*SYNC WEEK*

The final post of our Sync Week special is a little, well kinda big, Throwback Thursday number.

I mean, Game Of Thrones, need we say more?

@hithousemusic ‘Bulkhead’ is the soundtrack on this Home Entertainment spot for season 7.

They’re big cats in the trailer world. Take one listen to their catalogue on our site, you’ll see why.

*SYNC WEEK*

This one you must have seen on TV. We’re really proud that Pantene chose @blacklabelcatalog ‘Swag Queen’ to soundtrack this campaign. It’s inclusive, it’s fierce, and it seems to have made a mark in the advertising world, globally.

Thanks so much @wakethetownmusic for giving us the opportunity to pitch, as always, and for landing this track!

* SYNC WEEK*

We thought we’d occupy some squares on Instagram to highlight some fantastic syncs from the past year. Some of which can be heard/seen on TV right now!

First up is the latest Dove tanning mousse spot featuring @blacklabelcatalog ‘Summer Kiss’.

We love this one, and it really resonates with us as Londoner’s - that laundry basket/laptop look was a vibe last summer.

BIG thanks to @bigsyncmusic for giving us the opportunity to pitch, as always, and for landing this one!

What can be wonderful about commissioning an album

What can be wonderful about commissioning an album, is that you might have an idea of where the tracks may be best placed, and they end up being synced on something completely different.

Within only a couple of weeks of it being released, our latest release has already seen four of its tracks being synced for in-game usage. We’re thrilled, and we’re happy to be releasing music that’s super versatile! More info on the placement to come when we get the go ahead...🤫👀

JW2301 Lofi Hip Hop.

We got Doug Barclay, AKA @remulakbeats, to work his lo-fi hip hop magic with our JW archive, and he did not disappoint. Some of the album feels like actual magic, like a wander through the mind of a surrealist, whilst some of the tracks, more humble and emotive. “Modern Vintage” briefs coming our way, we’ve got you covered.

Before lockdown number 50 billion came in, we managed to get a little photoshoot in for the ‘About Us’ page of our website. So if you ever wanted to put a face to the name, here’s managing director, Jenny, and, creative sync and licensing manager, Karis. We’re sooo looking forward to being back in the office together, and hopefully getting back to our annual trips to see our wonderful sub-publishers and sub-published libraries!⁠
