What is Press Release?
A music press release is a short, factual announcement of news such as a new single, album, tour or signing, written for journalists, blogs and curators so they can cover it quickly.
It follows a clear structure: a headline, a strong first paragraph with the who, what and when, a quote from the artist, background, release details and links, and contact information.
Writers receive a lot of releases, so the most important information goes first and the tone stays factual. A good release also gives them a story angle, not just a list of facts.
Send it a few weeks before the release date, along with a private link to the music.
