The royalty free music licensing website, geared towards independent video producers, announces an update to their popular free background music section. The new tracks are holiday themed, and are all of the same premium quality that the main catalog is known for.

After launching in February, RoyaltyFreeKings.com has enjoyed a great first year. Traffic and sales of its downloadable background music have steadily increased each month as producers based all over the world have learned of the music licensing website, and the strict quality control that runs through the entire catalog.

As a service to the independent video production industry, and to introduce the concept of legally cleared music licensing to non-professionals (such as YouTube video creators), RoyaltyFreeKings.com has been building up a significant collection of complimentary background music tracks. This no-cost music is perfect for charitable organizations, educators and student filmmakers. The range of styles and genres include: epic dramatic orchestral, ambient piano, jazz, comedy, rock and suspense tension. The selection of royalty free music covers full length tracks and music loops.

The latest tracks focus on the current demand for Christmas music, which has been one of RoyaltyFreeKings.com's most popular genres.

RoyaltyFreeKings.com recently released a brand new Christmas stock music album – 'Epic Christmas'. The album features well known Christmas carols set to epic orchestral arrangements by Hollywood based movie trailer music composers. Epic Christmas also features an extensive 'extras' package, consisting of sub-mixes and individual instrument 'stems' for each track. The extra material gives producers greater options and value out of the tracks featured on the royalty free holiday music album.

Other recently released Christmas albums include: Acoustic Christmas, acoustic folk versions of well known carols; Pop Rock Christmas – featuring instrumental modern pop rock renditions of carols; and Jazz Christmas – ten carols that sound straight out of a New York jazz club.

RoyaltyFreeKings.com's collection of music for video production not only covers the most used styles and genres of music, such as: pop rock, acoustic and romantic, suspense tension and heroic inspiring, but also a growing list of unique 'hybrid' albums. Some of these include 'Epic Patriotic' – US patriotic songs in an epic trailer music setting, 'Patriotic Punk Rock' – American patriotic songs set to edgy punk rock arrangements, 'Jazz Patriotic' – featuring live saxophone, piano, drums and bass, and the holiday releases 'Acoustic Christmas' and 'Epic Christmas'.

The goal of RoyaltyFreeKings.com since launching in early 2012, has been to make searching for background music for video production incredibly easy and streamlined. The crowd-sourcing business model (where anyone can upload music), like that used by many music licensing websites, has the main benefit of a rapid expansion of content. The downside is inevitable: with so many tracks being uploaded, the catalog easily gets bloated with mediocre music that has little ability to enhance a project, whether it's a commercial, wedding video, film or webisode. Producers looking through these crowd-sourcing music licensing websites have to spend significant time sifting through vast collections to find something they'd actually want to use, or worse – settle for something inferior just because they don't have the time to continue searching.

By hand picking each track, RoyaltyFreeKings.com only allows in music that meets a strict standard of musicality and production value. The result is a streamlined shopping experience where a producer can find, purchase and download the music they need within just a few minutes.
