Problem: Finding a truly unique gift that really comes from the heart for ANY occasion
Solution:
Songlorious — Greeting cards are so ‘yesterday.’ It’s hard to find a good fit, you can’t personalize them, and they typically get thrown in the garbage as soon as they’re opened. Enter Songlorious, a company with a stable of musicians who will compose and perform a one-of-a-kind song JUST FOR YOU. Want to wish your mom a happy birthday? Propose to your main squeeze? Send a lullaby to your pregnant friend? Create a song for the first dance at your wedding? Tell Grandma and Grandpa you are thinking of them even though you can’t visit during Covid? Simply specify the genre (there’s a choice of 10 from country to blues and electro-pop) mood (happy, sad, romantic, reflective, funny), song length (30 seconds to 3 minutes), voice preference (male, female or none) and details (Who is the song for? What’s the occasion? What’s the song about?). Your custom song will be ready for download within four days. Prices begin at just $45. Songlorious founders Omayya Atout and Ellen Hodges were inspired to start the company because of a song request from a friend. Check out b-roll HERE and an example song HERE.
