Planning to release a single and you are thinking you have got everything covered? Below are a few details we would like you to go over before you drop that hit song!
1. Your Song Must Be Clear, Mixed And Professionally Mastered.
This is 2019! No one would vibe to your song if it is poorly mastered. Back in the days, before digital, mastering was all about duplication (remember ALABA?). Today, digital recording is the standard, mastering has evolved into fine-tuning how your music sounds.
If you still doubt if your song is properly mastered. STOP! Get a professional to master your song.
2. Select a Future Release Date And Plan Towards it.
So if I asked you, as a fan, when is your song dropping and what plans do you have towards its release? What is your answer? If you are blank at this point, here is a list of things you need to start doing!
- Write down and document your launch plan. Just like any business venture, your plans have to be written and properly crafted.
- Digital marketing is your biggest tool! Start creating anticipation for that song. Release teasers, ask your fans to pre-save your song using a pre-save link on their favorite apps. (You can get one with TuneAfrique)
- Start creating useful relationships. E.g Bloggers, O.A.Ps, Event Planners, MCs, Dj, Producers, and other people that could help create anticipation for your new song.
- Set a unique release date for your song. Publicise the release date across all media channels.
3. Get Playlist Pitches For Your Song.
Start submitting your song to global and local playlisters.
