If you haven't yet, go apply to join the Humble Kingz Song Writing Challenge Group on Facebook. In this group, we will be sharing tips and tactics on how to improve your song writing and issuing a monthly challenge to help get you excited about song writing. You can find last months submissions on that page too.
For the month of November, we are focusing on writing a hook. Watch this video for some tips from the team on how to write an effective hook.
(Premiering Friday, November 6th 6:15pm cst)
To reiterate, those pointers are listed below:
Hooks your listener
Catchy
Repetitive
Chanty - easy for listeners to sing along to
Memorable - People remember hooks and forget verses
Enforces the idea of the song
Not always in the chorus - Derek Minor - Hot Air Balloon “He might about them problems, but we paying the price”
There can be multiple hooks in a song
Can be used throughout the song - Colossal - Canon, nobigdyl., Steven Malcolm
Keep it simple
Doesn’t need to relate to the verse
There’s no one size fits all
