Dark Alt-pop Song Needs Banks/The XX Style Vocals

Looking for: Female Vocalist Studio Access Required: YES BPM: 96

Looking for vocals for this song. I have lyrics and melodies written however I'd like to hear what you come up with and then will mix and match the best of both.

Specifically for the contest I'm looking for a

Simple Intro - I'm thinking something with no actual words like the beginning of Banks - Before I Met You
First Verse 1:00 to 1:22 - Something pretty relaxed
Chorus from 1:22 to 1:40 - Heavy beat kicks in so intensity should kick in
Bridge 1:00 to 2:00 - Possibly the same as the intro. Should be minimal and complement the melody.

If you win the contest I would like you to write the additional verses and an outro.

I'd also need you to sing your lyrics and some of mine plus some additional phrases for chopping up.

As for vocal style I'm looking for something sultry and tortured. While there is a trap beat I definitely want to avoid hip hop or anything too poppy.

Lyrically I'm working on the concept of disappointment. Being let down by people in your life, society, religion, etc. Life not turning out as you were promised as a child.

Thanks!
