    My goal in recording this song, featuring a fictional a cappella group called "The Treblemakers," was to express deep emotional feeling without any words at all. The two verses at the beginning of the piece were only added AFTER the entire work had already been completed.

    I wrote a love song (female vocals) that keeps getting more and more views on YouTube. Are there any companies or artists on the Internet who have made a request that songwriters send them this kind of recording for possible purchase?

    For submitting and potentially selling such recordings, several online platforms facilitate this process. Noteworthy platforms include Songbay, which is a marketplace for original music and lyrics where songwriters can showcase and sell their songs globally without commissions while retaining rights and copyrights. Other platforms where you can connect with producers, artists, and companies looking for quality vocals include SoundBetter, AirGigs, and Vocalfy, all of which feature professional female singers and vocalists for hire and collaboration.

    In summary, your female vocal love song that is gaining traction on YouTube fits well with the kind of material currently requested by some companies and artists online. Leveraging platforms like Broadjam for submissions and marketplaces like Songbay for sales could help you monetize the growing popularity of your song effectively
