I am so excited that the time is finally here! I will be releasing my first single next month, and I hope you all go and listen. My single is called "Human." I'd describe it as an alternative R&B. This song is for all my fellow perfectionists and for anyone who is too hard on themselves for making mistakes. We're all human, and having love for ourselves is essential.
Releasing a song isn't as simple as I thought it would be. I thought I would just sign into my distributor and push my music through. But it's a lot more than that. Usually, I skip ads that I see, but an interesting one popped up on my Instagram feed. It was for CD Baby, a music distributor I have an account with and plan on using. The ad was for a free release plan generator. You can just put in the date you want to drop your single or album, and it gives you all the steps and dates you need to remember to have a successful release. The plan also includes tips on promoting, creating a pre-save link, and what to do on social media when it drops. I even forgot that I needed cover art *facepalm*.
These are all things I didn't even think of, but I'm glad I have now. I've been working on music to release for a while now. Some of it, including "Human," you may have heard me perform at one of my live or virtual shows. Unfortunately, getting a song ready for digital and radio distribution isn't as easy as having it ready to perform. But I'm not upset about that. Now I know. And now, I can show everyone and release future music more easily.
Anyway, the official release date of my music will be confirmed on social media this weekend! So, keep a lookout for that! If you don't follow me already, you can visit the foot of this page for the links to my Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. My main goal for the weeks until and after the release is to tell as many people as possible. So if you're interested and you like it, share it! I'm also being a bit sneaky by using my blog to promote my song (mwahaha)
This song is meant to do good for people. It's supposed to be a reminder that it's ok to get things wrong. So, stop being hard on yourself and listen to it when it comes out.
