The songs you write have to fit in with the general feel of the band. If you are in a soul band then it obviously follows that your songs need to have a soul feel about them. Especially if your band are trying to build up a fan base.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" small=""></p><center><a href="http://www.law-of-attraction-explained.com/paul-mckenna.html">Paul Mckenna</a></center> <br /><p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" if="" the="" other="" hand="" you="" write="" songs="" commercially="" then="" genre="" plays="" a="" more="" crucial="" part="" in="" what="" sort="" of="" song="" will="" as="" commercial="" songwriter="" want="" your="" to="" gain="" highest="" possible="" sales="" so="" can="" earn="" much="" money="" from="" that="" being="" case="" need="" do="" some="" research="" before="" even="" first="" p="" on=""></p><p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="MsoNormal"> <br /></p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="MsoNormal">Check what genre is being played most on the radio at the moment.
