Songland is an American songwriting competition series that aired on NBC from May 28, 2019, to June 15, 2020.[1] The show, produced in cooperation with the Universal Television Alternative Studio, 222 Productions, Live Animals Productions and Dave Stewart,[2] sets out to give undiscovered songwriters a chance to create a hit. It gives the viewers a look at the creative process in action.[3] Contestants are selected to work with producers and a recording artist to release a song.[4] The show tries to elevate the traditional role of the songwriter in the process of creating music from "unpleasant secret" to being the celebrated "magic ingredient".[5] Stewart, a musician and composer formerly of Eurythmics, conceived Songland.[3]

The show premiered in May 2019, with three producer-hosts: producer and songwriter Ester Dean; producer and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder; and songwriter Shane McAnally. In September 2019, the series was renewed, and the second season premiered in April 2020.[6][7]

According to Heavy.com, many of the first season's songs picked by the guest artists for release hit No. 1 on an iTunes chart.[8] Songland was the top new show of summer 2019 "in the key adults 18-49 demographic and among total viewers, according to Nielsen's "most current" metric, which counts a week's worth of delayed viewing per episode where available".[9]

Premise

[edit]

Each episode, producers Ryan Tedder, Ester Dean and Shane McAnally team up with songwriters to create the next big hit to be recorded by the guest performing artist.[10] Four seemingly unknown songwriters audition songs they have written live for the producers and that episode's guest star(s).[3] They do so in Songland's makeshift recording studio equipped with sound mixing equipment, and sometimes with live musicians and extra singers.[5] They immediately get feedback for the song's lyrics, message, and musical construction, often with specific ways to improve the track.[5] Reviewer Nancy Stetson commented:

It's enlightening to see how a song can change just by slowing it down or speeding it up, or moving the chorus, or emphasizing the beat or shuffling parts around.[3]

From four prospective songs, three are chosen and matched up with one each of the three producers to develop a final version for approval; those re-worked songs are then sung again with one chosen as the winner.[5] The winning track is released the same night as the episode is aired, with the viewers witnessing a song produced for consumption in roughly 45 minutes.[5]

Production

[edit]

Musician and composer David A. Stewart, formerly of Eurythmics, conceived Songland.[3] Songland attempts to rework the often thankless and grueling job of songwriting.[5] The general public rarely notes who wrote the lyrics, or the music that catches attention, instead the credit is generally given to the singer,[3] the typical narrative being that they're anonymous "cogs in the well-oiled pop (music) machine".[5] A song is optioned, sometimes passed to other artists, who may wait months or years to record it, or just a hook from it, and all for the singer's own glory.[5] The show tries to elevate the traditional role of the songwriter in the process of creating music from "unpleasant secret" to being the celebrated "magic ingredient".[5]

The show premiered in May 2019, with three producer-hosts: producer and songwriter Ester Dean; producer and lead singer of OneRepublic Ryan Tedder; and songwriter Shane McAnally.[3] In 2016, an entertainment lawyer advised prospective songwriters from signing the show's contract as they would be giving it the rights to their work whether chosen or not.[11] The show responded, "We wish to be abundantly clear that by signing the casting application, songwriters do not transfer ownership of any of their original songs. This show is truly a celebration of songwriters and their craft."[11]
