Are you interested in being showcased on our channels? Rest assured that we will respond to every submission you make, whether it’s good or bad. We will also provide feedback on how to enhance your submission to increase your chances of being featured or suggest what should come next.
There are three ways to join the Pinch of Sol community:
Advertising:
If you opt for advertising, we guarantee your presence on our channels. However, for transparency reasons, there will be a small and almost seamless indicator that it is for advertising purposes. Please refer to our price list for more information.
Press Release:
Submitting a press release will result in its publication on our website and its distribution to various music news blogs that may choose to pick up your story or not. Our press release system, similar to a Cision blast or press push, will allow your article to appear on our site and give you the chance to reach other blogs and media outlets. Please see our pricing information for more details.
Submission:
Submissions are sent directly to our editorial team for review. After we review your submission, you will receive a comprehensive assessment of your song, story, article, or release. While we cannot guarantee that your feature will appear, we will provide you with an impartial and honest review of your work that will help you advance to the next level of your career. Submit now to take advantage of this opportunity.
Please take note of the following submission guidelines:
Original music only: We only accept original music submissions. Please do not submit unauthorized covers, remixes, or samples.
Mastered music: We are looking for professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered tracks.
Complete tracks: Please send us full-length tracks so that we can get a complete sense of your music style.
Correct file format: Please submit your music in either MP3 or WAV format. If your music is already distributed, please supply us with the streaming link from the platform it is on.
One track per submission: Please submit only one track per submission. If you have multiple tracks you’d like us to consider, please submit them separately.
Original music only: Please ensure that your music does not infringe on any copyright or intellectual property rights. We will not feature any music that violates laws or ethical standards.
Follow up politely: If you do not hear back from us within 2 weeks, feel free to follow up politely. We receive a high volume of submissions but guarantee a response to every submission.
