Generate a professional, industry-standard press release for your next single, EP, or album drop. Provide the basic details (artist name, release title, date, and story) and the AI crafts a polished press release ready to send to blogs, radio, playlists, and media outlets. Includes proper formatting with headline, body, quotes placeholder, and contact section.
A well-structured music press release contains: a compelling headline that names the artist and the release; a dateline with location and release date; an opening paragraph summarizing the news in one to two sentences; body paragraphs expanding on the story, influences, and context; a direct quote attributed to the artist or a collaborator; links to the track, video, and high-resolution images; streaming platform links; and a contact section with booking and press inquiry information.
For single releases, send your press release to blogs, playlists, and media contacts 3–4 weeks before the release date to give editors time to schedule coverage. For album or EP releases, begin outreach 6–8 weeks in advance. Smaller blogs may cover new music quickly, while larger publications have longer editorial lead times. Following up 5–7 days after your initial send is standard practice if you haven't received a response.
Target your outreach based on your genre and audience. Music blogs that cover your style, local and regional newspapers with entertainment sections, music-focused podcast hosts, playlist curators on streaming platforms, and radio stations in your target market are all appropriate recipients. Build a contact list specific to your genre rather than mass-blasting unrelated outlets, which reduces response rates significantly.
Always include a streaming link: a Spotify, Apple Music, or SoundCloud link that journalists can access without downloading anything. Avoid attaching large audio files to emails, as they are often flagged as spam and can fill up inboxes. If you want to share a pre-release version, use a private SoundCloud link or a service like Submithub that provides secure private listening.
