(Los Angeles, CA) - While it may be far to soon for most people to start thinking about Christmas, RoyaltyFreeKings.com today announced a new addition to their royalty free Christmas music lineup - Pop Rock Christmas. Aimed at independent video and radio producers who often experience their busiest period of the year as the holiday season approcahes, the album features ten well known Christmas carols with modern pop rock arrangements. Complimenting the range of pop rock styles featured on the album, each track also has available sub mixes and individual instrument stems, giving producers greater options and mileage out of the ten tracks featured on the royalty free holiday music album.

Tracks on the Pop Rock Christmas album include: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Good King Wenceslaus, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Joy to the World and Oh Come All Ye Faithful.

RoyaltyFreeKings.com is busy building up a collection of Christmas themed albums, with three other albums currently in production: Acoustic Christmas - featuring live violin, guitars and mandolin, Epic Christmas - traditional Christmas carols set to massive modern orchestral arrangements and Piano Christmas - solo piano versions of Christmas carols. These albums will compliment a recently released album - Jazz Christmas - featuring authentic live jazz renditions of well known holiday songs.

RoyaltyFreeKings.com's aim, since launching in early 2012, has been to make searching for background music for video production easy and streamlined. The main benefit of a crowd-sourcing business model, like that used by many royalty free websites, is a rapid expansion of content. The downside is inevitable - with so many tracks being uploaded, the catalog easily gets bloated with mediocre music that does little to enhance a project, whether it's a commercial, wedding video, film or webisode. Producers looking through websites licensing stock music (also known as 'library music' or 'production music') have to either waste time sifting through such huge collections of music 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.

Through a careful vetting process of 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.

In June RoyaltyFreeKings.com also added a large expansion of their free background music download section. Available to anyone working on a project (with just a few exceptions) with a budget of less than US$250,000, each free track is available for immediate download. The range of styles and genres include: epic dramatic orchestral, ambient piano, jazz, comedy, rock and suspense tension. The selection of royalty free music for free covers full length tracks and music loops.

The music featured in the free section is aimed at people who need legal clearance for the music they use, but don't necessarily have the resources to pay for it. Owners of YouTube ''partner' accounts fall into this category - where using unauthorized music runs the risk of getting an account suspended, or worse: getting sued by the owners of the music.

RoyaltyFreeKings.com's collection 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 upcoming releases 'Acoustic Christmas' and 'Epic Christmas'.
