I'm Still Here: Jazz-Rock | Minor Key | Driving Mid-Tempo A jazz-rock composition with grit and controlled propulsion. Syncopated phrasing in the verses builds tension before resolving into a hook designed for dynamic, blues-inflected vocal delivery. The structure allows space for live instrumentation — drums with swing undertones, restrained piano or Rhodes, electric guitar textures — while keeping lyrical cadence tight and performance-ready. Written for artists who favour authority over theatrics: grounded, mature vocal presence with emotional weight. Suitable for EP singles, live band arrangements or sync placement in character-driven film and television. Lyrics available for commissioned reference.
Rock In The Rain: Jazz-Rock | Minor Key | Atmospheric Drive A rain-soaked jazz-rock composition built on tension and propulsion. The verses move with restrained pulse before opening into a chorus designed for textured, blues-driven vocal delivery. The rhythmic structure supports live instrumentation — percussive piano or Rhodes, layered electric guitar, and dynamic drum phrasing with subtle swing undertones. Written for artists who favour cinematic atmosphere with rock weight. Suitable for live band performance or sync placement where grit meets elegance. Lyrics available for commissioned reference.
I'm Done Keeping Score: Jazz-Rock | Mid-Tempo | Minor Key | Confrontational Ballad A controlled jazz-rock composition built on emotional tension and restraint. The verses hold back before releasing into a decisive, hook-driven chorus. Structured for dynamic vocal interpretation and live instrumentation, with phrasing designed to sit naturally against a rhythm section with swing undertones. Written for artists seeking emotional authority rather than melodrama. Lyrics available for commissioned reference.
