Here are just ten of our favorite songs from the collection to give you a flavor of what’s on offer. Dive in and be inspired.

Brutal Force – Randy Sharp

This powerful rock tune uses electric guitar, electric drums, synth, and backing vocals to give you a song with a strong beat. It’s perfect for suggesting that someone is taking control or being decisive. It would support technology, sport and fitness, industry, or commercial video themes.

Slappy – Ido Maimon

If you require a fun and playful tune that works in an urban setting, you must listen to Slappy. It combines claps and snaps with electronic guitar and drums, brass, bass, and synth for a fun and funky song with a retro vibe. If you’re of a certain age, it might have a hint of Beverly Hills Cop about it!

Get Gone – iTMR

This indie song is upbeat and defiant. It uses vocals to tell the story of someone breaking free from a controlling and unhealthy relationship to forge their path. It’s perfect for any video referencing a fresh start or taking control of the opportunities present.

Fireworks – Michael Shynes

A song called Fireworks might make you think of something explosive, fun, and upbeat. This one, however, is a reflective and soulful indie folk song about falling in love. It’s emotionally vulnerable but sweet and cheerful, making it the perfect soundtrack to scenes of commitment and fulfillment.

Cloudy Skies – Flint

This electronic tune, which uses vocals, is a versatile piece. You might want to use it to soundtrack a club, rave, or dance scene that’s positive and uplifting. But it could equally support a darker plot line, perhaps involving deception or the descent into a dangerous spiral.

Bay Ridge – Juvenile

This soul and R&B song uses strong female vocals to tell a modern love song of empowerment and positivity. It has a groovy feel that makes it ideal for fashion, urban, and lifestyle content, but it could work just as well for embarking on an adventure.

Tired Eyes – Alon Peretz

Tired Eyes opens immediately with an acoustic guitar and steadily weaves in more string instruments to create a pensive, or even sad, acoustic song. As well as being suggestive of human vulnerability, it could be used to soundtrack any video documenting climate change, the fragility of the world’s ecosystems, or the destruction of natural habitats. It’s an expansive, thought-provoking piece.

Für Elise

Für Elise–or, more formally, Bagatelle No. 25 in A Minor–might not be exactly a ‘new’ piece of music, having been written by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1810, but having access to new recordings of classic compositions is a valuable resource for any content creator. Its gentle opening is very famous, with many people being able to hum it even if they don’t know its name. But listen on for its jollier and its more serious transitions, too.

Silent Treatment – Ace

This dramatic and exciting rock number is how you might imagine a stadium rock concert opening. It’s bold and powerful, suggestive of thrilling things to come. It’s a great tune to build tension and expectations. Think about using it for gaming, trailers, or content based on sport, fitness, or transport.
