What is a great music press release?
A music press release is a written statement that informs various media outlets about a music release or event, such as a single, EP, album, music video, or show. Its purpose is to grab the attention of journalists, bloggers, and influencers and generate media coverage.
To effectively create a music press release, it is important to understand the key elements and format that make it successful.
The Headline
One of the most important aspects of a music press release is the headline.
The headline should be catchy and include the artist’s name and the event or release.
This is the first thing that journalists and bloggers will see, so it needs to grab their attention right away.
Additionally, the press release should include a dateline with the city, state, and date to provide context and make it timely.
The Body
The body of the press release should provide the core information about the artist and the release or event.
It should answer the questions of who, what, when, where, and why.
Including quotes from the artist or key people involved in the music release can add a personal touch and make the feature more authentic. This allows the press release to tell a story and create a connection with the reader.
External links, such as SoundCloud or YouTube links, can be included in the press release for journalists to listen to or watch the artist’s work. This allows them to easily access the music and get a better understanding of the artist’s style and sound.
The press release should also be concise, focused, and well-written, with proper grammar and punctuation. This ensures that it is easy to read and understand, and reflects positively on the artist and their work.
Contact Information
At the end of the press release, contact information should be provided, including the artist’s name, phone number, email address, and links to the artist’s website, social networks, press photo album, and music files.
This allows journalists and bloggers to easily get in touch with the artist and access additional resources.
Now let’s jump into the context of who I am, and what I need between angle brackets.
<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. This concise guide will help you craft a compelling narrative around your release.
Use the following tone of voice to write the press release:
Simplicity is key: Always prioritize making 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: While your main goal is to simplify, never oversimplify to the point of misrepresentation.
Your readers should come away from your music press release feeling informed, enlightened, not overwhelmed.
Step 1: Understand, master & be creative about my context. That 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.
Step 3: Once I pick 1 potential angle, start writing the press release. Do not use any hashtags. Do not use any 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.
How to use this prompt:
Fill in “YOUR CONTEXT HERE” with details about your music release, including title, type, and release date. Share the story, inspiration, and any notable collaborations or achievements.
Here’s an example song release by virtual artist “Luna Raye”
Song info about “Closer”, releasing March 25th on all platforms
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a little about my new song “Closer” and what it means to me. Writing this track was really personal – it helped me work through some tough stuff from my past. Growing up, things were hard with my parents’ addiction struggles. I felt so alone and just wanted to feel close to them. But their issues always seemed to come before me. Pouring my heart into the lyrics and melody was cathartic, like a weight lifting off my shoulders. I hope anyone else coping with addiction’s impact can find comfort in knowing they’re not alone. My goal is to use my music to help heal and connect people. I’m so grateful you all resonate with “Closer” – it means more than you know to share this part of my story.
This track means so much to me for personal reasons I opened up about. It’s been so healing to see how it’s resonating with others too. On TikTok, I’ve loved seeing you all dancing to it and finding your own ways to connect with the lyrics. Our talks about “Closer” and how it relates to our lives in the Instagram comments and coffee shops have warmed my heart. My goal with sharing this song was to make people feel less alone – and it seems like that message is reaching you. I’m grateful to have such an understanding community. Thanks for coming with me on this journey and for letting me share a piece of myself through my music. I can’t wait to celebrate “Closer” together on the 25th!
it’s out March 25th on Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms.
Can’t wait to one day play it live for y’all! In the meantime, thanks for walking alongside me on this journey.
Now, we’ll take the raw input from the artist and insert it into our prompt to craft the press release.
Here’s the result:
