Summary

Discover your true artistic voice, and make songs you’d be proud of.

There may be an idea, a thought, a feeling, an emotion, or a sensation growing inside you like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

With the right tools, you can become the engineer of your own ideas, building them brick by brick, putting all the pieces together, until your song finally starts unfolding as your lyrics and tunes merge to make one coherent whole.

In Write a New Song, you will discover:

  • A comprehensive guide to writing your first song, allowing you to confidently face the challenges of a creative process and giving you that extra boost of inspiration when you feel stuck
  • The right mindset to ease most of your fears, giving you the courage to dive head-first into the unknown and explore the full potential of your art
  • Fun and exciting exercises that will take your writing process beyond the 'obvious,' helping you to write truly original content
  • The essential music knowledge any songwriter needs, giving you the tools to make the writing process exponentially easier
  • Easy and straightforward strategies to draw inspiration from your favorite artists whenever you feel the need for an extra creativity boost
  • How songwriting collaborations can take your songs to a whole new level, as well as strategies to make the process as fruitful and productive as possible
  • And much more.

You don't have to be a musical savant or the best writer to make songs - if you have ears, then you know music.

If you want to confidently and effectively write great songs, then you should listen to this audiobook!

Beautiful and inspiring

Songwriting is beautiful, and this audiobook lives up to it. Well-written and produced, life-affirming, and a practical guide on how to make music. The first part feels very intimate, caring, inviting, knowledgeable, and heartfelt. Almost like a meditation on life. Then you get to the practical part and it's mind-blowing! Excellent and creative exercises. I love how the author explores song structure bringing contemporary examples, mostly focused on R&B/Soul.

Excellent read full of authenticity & empowerment!

This book has been excellently written and empowers creatives to tap into their inner selves to produce what was always there without fear or doubt. Thank you Mateo for teaching me so much and confirming so much for me as I embark on my personal music journey. I highly recommend this book! And even more so the audiobook, it's such an enjoyable experience!

awful narrator

I couldn't even digest the information from this book as the narrator is so poor and sounds like a robot. had to turn the book off in the end.
