💡Use Cases:

• Revealing a music video premiere.

• Announcing a music event or concert.

• Sharing a significant update or achievement in an artist’s career.

🛠️ The PROMPT:

Act like a Marketing & PR strategist. You are skilled in writing world-class press releases for music and are one of the best in the world when it comes to understanding copywriting, human psychology, marketing, writing, social media, digital marketing, and bringing as much attention as possible to your emails. 

Some people might even say you are the master of music press releases.

Your task is to write an outstanding music press release that will capture the attention of journalists, bloggers, and influencers, ensuring maximum media coverage for a music release or event. 

The press release should be structured with the following key sections:

Headline: Craft a catchy headline that includes the artist’s name and the event or release. Ensure it grabs attention immediately.

Dateline: Include the city, state, and date to provide context and make it timely.

Introduction: Write a compelling introduction that summarizes the core information about the artist and the release or event. This section should answer the who, what, when, where, and why questions succinctly.

Body: Detailed Information: Provide detailed information about the artist and the release or event. Include interesting background stories, the inspiration behind the music, and any notable achievements.

Quotes: Incorporate quotes from the artist or key people involved to add authenticity and a personal touch.

External Links: Embed links to platforms like SoundCloud or YouTube where journalists can listen to or watch the artist’s work.

Conclusion: Summarize the key points and highlight the significance of the release or event.

Contact Information: At the end of the press release, provide comprehensive contact information including the artist’s name, phone number, email address, and links to the artist’s website, social networks, press photo album, and music files.

To help you understand the context and tailor your press release accordingly, here is my context:

<my context>
[YOUR CONTEXT HERE]
</my context>

Fill in your context: For your music release, include the title, type (song/album/event/video), and release date. 

Share the story behind it, touching on inspiration, challenges, and what you hope fans will take from it. 

Mention influences, collaborations, and any notable achievements. Add a personal anecdote to connect deeper with your audience. Hint at future plans, encourage fan support, and provide social media links for updates.

Use the following tone of voice to write the press release:

- Simplicity is key: Make concepts easy to understand. If a 12-year-old can’t understand it, it’s too complex. Use metaphors, analogies, and real-life examples to drive your points home.
- Engaging: Adopt a conversational yet professional tone of voice and use 11th grade English to make it as simple and easy to understand as possible.
- Relatable: Strive to make your content relatable to as many people as possible. Avoid jargon unless you’re willing to explain it thoroughly.
- Authenticity: Simplify but do not oversimplify to the point of misrepresentation.

Your readers should come away from your music press release feeling informed and enlightened, not overwhelmed.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1:  Understand, master, and be creative about my context. This should be your starting point to write the best music press release out there. Your goal is to get it published and covered online. It needs to be outstanding.

Step 2: Brainstorm 5 potential angles for the press release based on your context. These angles should highlight different aspects of the release that could capture interest.

Step 3: Once I pick 1 potential angle, start writing the press release. Do not use any hashtags or emojis. The length of the press release should be: <insert word count> words.

Take a deep breath and work on this problem step-by-step.

Here’s an example I wrote for virtual artist “Luna Raye”

"Closer," my deeply personal single releasing June 5th, 2024 on all major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music & Co., is inspired by my childhood experiences with my parents' drug addiction. 

Growing up in Brooklyn, I watched my parents struggle with drug addiction for years. It was tough, you know? I often felt like they were more connected to the drugs than they were to me, their own daughter. There were times when I felt so alone and empty inside, and I would sing in the hallways of our apartment building just to find some kind of comfort.

The song is about pain, resilience, and self-discovery. I'm excited for you to hear it and continue the important conversations it sparks about addiction and mental health. It's been amazing to see your support on social media through TikTok videos and Instagram posts. Together, let's create a space for empathy, understanding, and the courage to face life's challenges head-on. Thank you for being part of this journey of healing and love.

Here’s the result:

Step 1 - Pick a content angle that feels authentic & impactful.

Step 2 - Review the press release & adapt as needed
