    Anyone out there think they can write lyrics for dance tune?
    Give it your best shot!

    I don't generally like dance music with lyrics. I think it just kinda cheapens the song sometimes. Like for example, when Danni Minogue re-released Riva's - Stringer with her vocals on top of the music, it sounded like absolute ****e. The original alone was much faster and it was quite a good tune.

    Kinda gone off on a tangent here, so in answer to your question.... no :).

    writing lyrics for electronic is the same as writing music for any other kinda music

    its just that people tend to take the cheesier route for dance, coz its throwaway music for the most part

    ah 95% of dance is made to be throwaway

    thats the nature of the industry... get a buzz about it, get it onto dj playlists, and let them play it out for 6 weeks before the consumer can get their hands on it, hype up that release on the back of the dj play, milk it for another 6 weeks, and then put it to bed when everyones sick of it

    Vocals on tracks like Armin's 'Communication' are pure record-company $$ schemes...although tbh that vocal wasn't the worst.

    Strangley enough I like some of the 'slapped on' vocals, maybe on the less commercial tracks like Cass & Slide's 'Perception', not sure why but I do.

    Of course those made to go with a vocal can sound great - Gadjo's 'So Many Times' I think it's called...great song thanks to the vocals. If that's not the right song I mean the one where the crowd join in for a breakdown.

    Anyway...I'm rambling again.
