Welcome to Soapsongs.com's new blog. I'm Barbara Jordan, head of A&R for Songs of The Soaps, and the writer and publisher of many songs you've heard on daytime soaps and wondered "what was that song I just heard...it's not in record stores...so I should call the show and find out where I can get that song!" Try this URL for starters : http://www.soapsongs.com/page/mp3store.asp
It's been busy in the world of soap opera music lately. So many of my favorite characters are getting into their usual trouble, only this time a touching song will play in their key scenes -- suggesting that there's hope for them!
On Friday 7/8/05, one of our most talented and prolific singer songwriters, Michael Kisur, will be heard on The Young and The Restless in a beautiful scene involving the Daniel-Lily storyline. The song he wrote and sings was inspired by the death of Cassie, the character on Young and Restless who was recently killed in a car crash on the show. Mike wrote the song when Cassie was in a coma, and now it's about to be used in a scene directly relating to Cassie's death. I'm a big fan of Mike Kisur, and I think this is one of his best songs yet. Go to our site and you can listen to a short clip of it : http://www.soapsongs.com/sunshine.asp
I've been super-busy these last few weeks, getting music to many new Fall season tv shows out there...but my most interesting work is always with the soaps, because frankly, contrary to what most people think about soaps, they do have cutting edge music as well as gorgeous traditional styles of music! And music that no one has ever heard on the radio!!
I get a lot of email from fans who've heard a song on a show and want to know where they can buy it. Well, not all the songs you hear on tv are commercially available. That's why Soapsongs.com was created - to make songs available to fans who have requested them. Whether the song was featured in a scene, or just played partially in the background, you can now purchase a song that you had once been told was not commercially available.
I'm very interested in hearing from any fans who either have questions about songs they've heard, or comments about them. Music is my life and my business, and it's great to have a forum to talk about it. I've been involved with music since I was 8 years old, as a writer, performer, music supervisor, publisher for songs in film and television, and now in A&R for the Songs of The Soaps record label. And I'm still excited when I hear a great song! So tell me about your experiences listening to the songs you've heard on tv. I'm all ears. http://www.soapsongs.com/page/index.asp
