Songsalive! Online Song Critique
Hear what Record Executives won't tell you! Get a detailed song critique. Submit anything from a lyric to a finished master, and find out:
- if the song works lyrically, musically, structurally.
- how it should be demo-ed. (Some production pointers).
- if already on tape/cd (demo-ed), feedback if it's working, and how to make improvements.
- the best markets for your song.
- Who to pitch to - artists, publishers, record companies, radio formats.
A Songsalive! Song Critique helps from the ideas stage - working out the songs and the demo - right through to finished "radio-friendly" master - who to send to and how. We help with lyrics, rhyming schemes, song structure, melody, production, and where to pitch, promote and release your song!
CD
Review
We've noticed
that one of the Top 5 things an artist wants these days is a review of
their CD. Unlike a song critique, that provides feedback and critique
about your song/music to make it better before you release it), a CD
Review provides a journalist's point of view on the entire album,
that's worthy to publish on your website or in your press kit/EPK. Get one here.
