Kelsea Ballerini & Old Dominion On New Reality Show
A new reality TV musical competition coming to NBC will focus on songwriters. Songland will feature songwriters trying to create a hit song, with a famous artist recording the winning song.
The judging panel for Songland will include Nashville songwriter and producer Shane McAnally alongside OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder and Ester Dean.
Kelsea Ballerini and Old Dominion are among the artists set to take part, along with Charlie Puth, John Legend, Jonas Brothers, Meghan Trainor, Will.I.Am, Leona Lewis, Macklemore, Aloe Blacc and more.
“Every artist is looking for one thing, that next great song,” Legend says in the preview above.
Songland will give fans an inside look at the songwriting process, according to E!. Each episode will result in one songwriting winner, with the prize being that one of the rotating cast of artists will record their song.
“We’re going to pull back the curtains and we’re going to show you how music is made,” say producers.
Songland is set to premiere on Tuesday, May 28, on NBC.
