SOLUTIONS-> Hit Song
analysis
Thank
you very much for your interest in our Hit Song analysis solutions
in partnership with Polyphonic HMI
"Does my song sound
like a hit song?"... " Will my song have success?"
We all know that aside the marketing and business
activities that artists or labels can engage for their music
promotion, nothing really happens if the song is
not "good" and more simply put, no real
success is realized if the song is not a hit song...even
at a local or regional scale.
The hit
song is the central nerve of all music successes.
Many people if not all music professionals are
asking them selves this same question: "How to know if
a song will be a hit or not?" with the same dilemma...what
to rely on!
While the answer to this question is critical
to determine the level of resources that you can put behind
a song promotion, the type of support that you need or the level
of touring you must engage, you know how difficult it is to
"detect" if a song will be a hit or not...You have
certainly already experienced how frustrating it is to listen
to other people's opinions or just to rely on personal judgments.
What
about a solution that will enable you to know if your song has
the characteristics of a hit song...with statistical validity…for
as low as $36.35?
With the new partnership between Focus
Marketing, a leader in the application of information
analysis and information-driven marketing to music promotion
and Polyphonic HMI, a cutting edge data analysis
company, you will able to know
if your song has any real chances to become a hit song with
statistical validity....and even to know
what you will need to change, adapt, correct or add to your
song to make it a real hit potential.

you will be able to:
. Pitch for record or distribution deals with a
clear winning argument and a clear competitive advantage
. Optimize your marketing and promotion efforts by focusing

or album
. Generate revenues from your music
. Fine-tune the production of your song to make it even more
a hit material
This unique service is particularly
beneficial to:
. Independent artists and labels
. Music producers
Any doubts?
First, let's start with a first statement:
Through a
recent study on the Hit Song analysis solution impact, Harvard
Business School confirmed that for labels which use the Hit
Song analysis solution, the hit song rates increased
from below 20% to over 80%, in just a few months.
Now a few explanations:
. As you know, a song is always particular
and unique on several dimensions: lyrics, beat, melody,
harmonic variation, tempo, pitch, octave, fullness of sound,
etc....That is the natural consequence of creativity.
In some ways, we can say that a song has a particular "signature"
due to its specific components
. With the analysis that Polyphonic HMI, our partner,
has engaged on millions of songs since the 1950's across
all music genres, as related to their beat, melody, harmonic
variation, tempo, pitch, octave and fullness of sound, something
very interesting happened:
All hit songs have the unique characteristic
to share the same "signatures" on those dimensions…what
ever it is a new, old or "different" song.
In other
words, songs that have specific "signatures" for beat,
melody, harmonic variation, tempo, pitch, octave and fullness
of sound are hit songs...Others that do not have those "signatures"
are not hit songs.
What
does it mean for your songs?
What about if we compare the "signatures"
of your songs to the hit songs signatures that have been identified
against all music genres and we let you know, with actual analysis
and data:
. If your songs are close or not to the "signatures"
of hit songs...indicating their probability to become hit songs
them selves
. To what actual hits songs & artists, your songs are the
closest to…A very valuable reference-insight for production
adaptations or even music promotion focus
This
is what this new service offers you and this is unique!
If you combine this unique knowledge with assessment
of your lyrics and branding similarities with hit artists and
songs, you will have an invaluable advantage to know if your
songs have THE hit potential that you are looking for.
Is it
true? Does it work?
The best way to answer this question is to listen
to the people and music organizations, who already used or were
exposed to those services.
The service "helped us gain the attention
of some major label industry heavyweights." This "is
a must-have tool for any hit song builder." -
Stewart Reynolds of Canadian band, Brittlestar.
"Using Hit Song Science confirmed my
belief that I had a hit song on my hands and within a few weeks
of getting my results I was engaged in conversations with a
major label in the UK." - Ben Novak, solo
artist.
"It's a fascinating tool, and smart companies
will use this as ancillary information, especially in the present
state of the industry." - Jeff Fenster, senior
vice president of A&R for Island/Def Jam Records
"The kind of information provided"..."helps
reduce uncertainty before releasing a given song."
- Muff Winwood, Senior VP A&R - Sony Music UK
"We, as producers have an ability to
"hear" what sounds right and what doesn't. Making
hit songs is what we do. However I think we can always become
more precise and that is what we're doing with" this
service - Peter Swartling, Producer, consultant to Sony
Music
"A stimulus for some appealing and enduring
recordings" - Paul Williams, editor of rock
magazine Crawdaddy and author of "Back to the Miracle Factory,
a book analyzing 1990's-era rock 'n' roll

the technology said the program also identified the "gold
content" of a song." - The New York Times
"The technique"..."picked out
the potential of the jazz singer Norah Jones months before she
topped the US charts and won eight Grammy awards for her first
album. Five major record companies have been so impressed that
they are beginning trials of the software, New Scientist magazine
reports today." - The London Times
