An intro of Tolkien-esque epic sound is always something - strangely enough, what happens in the way people hear and listen to music is so incredibly different from how it was done 20 years ago, I do not think anyone could have imagined. Already five years ago
MySpace was still huge sensation and musicians from around the world were to board and get new fans and spread their music in the digital age ...

Now, in 2011, MySpace is anything but an arid desert of advertisements for second-rate films, but the music is ready to be dispersed in a way that myspace even imagined just not enough. If Spotify gets its way, everyone has to play Netflix style monthly prices (only small - maybe about $ 5 per month) to be able to stream a song, any time artist, you may want, as often as you wish.
Sounds cool, right? I think it will be - Here are some reasons:
  • People will not have to spend money to try a new artist, you just spend the time to go check it out. If they like what they hear, they will listen.If an artist / band has songs that people really want to listen, they are the ones who rise to the top of the charts - simply do not have songs that people are willing to spend money. Imagine that you really begin to feel the graphs that are music to listen to their people, rather than a simple download and let stand for about
  • The music becomes more honest. I think it will be a big step in an ideal direction for the type of music that people really want to listen to people. What sounds like the most popular, not just what is the worst since the last fiscal quarter.
  • As an artist, I have yet to write, record and play the best music that I am able to create. I mean, what is going to Spotify, it may be the next big thing ... or maybe it will just be the foundation of what some other companies will eventually do better. Regardless, I think it will be an incredible resource for the artist to reach thousands of new fans who have not imagined before, and for music fans to be able to make meaningful graphs still do not rely on the sale of units, but what he did in their ears and their hearts.
Thank you for Spotify, you need it.

Single ... Or Doubles? 
Tennis. Ice balls. Espresso. Whisky. Whatever you think of singles and doubles could see, we all have our preferences and the ability to handle the amount of each item. Some people need a double (or triple or quadruple) of espresso in the morning just to get going, while others can barely stand a shot of whiskey to drink during a night of poker. I would say the same is true when it comes to our minds and ears for us to process music.
You Talk About The Music? 
I'm talking about the difference between the release of an entire album at a time against the release of simple songs, one by one. Certainly, there may be advantages to both, I'll give you my current view where I think music is in charge, but feel free to disagree in the comments section.
Double / Albums
For the most ardent fans - it can not be a task to verify a new band / artist and go and listen to 30 second samples of all 12 songs on an album. In fact, some fans prefer this because they like to get an idea of ​​the general statement of the album of the artist (I fall into this category). They can, and loves to take in a lot of music in a time and are willing to invest time and energy into a new group or artist. While I love this type of fan, I think we're in the minority.

For the most part (it will be a big generalization here), in the albums of digital media music is intended for people who are already fans of a particular band or artist. Almost no research randomnly an artist on iTunes, listen to their complete file, and then decide to buy it. Most people do not have the time or patience to do so.
That will encourage people to buy an entire album is so:
  • They already know who is an artist or group, and they expect a new version
  • The album is intended to be a reliable source of media (eg, pitch forks, A / V Club, etc.), or a friend who swears by the album.
  • There is a substantial discount if you buy the file as a whole (I recently made the decision to buy Lady Gaga's new album as it was available on Amazon.com for $ 0.99) , Although I still have tons of opportunities for artists and bands to sell CDs of their performances, that the digital format, albums primarily designed for people who are already fans - or have a special breed of people who have the patience to go through every song and album to buy.
Singles
Here resides the majority of the population. These people, like music, but feel a little bombarded and 'paralyzed number of choices in the current musical climate. They can not go through the list of top 20 artists on iTunes and listen to samples of each artist's full knowledge - it will take 2 hours of time if the artists have an average of 12 copies of their records.

So what do they do? They make their decisions based on a song. Most often, people are looking for maximum sound track artist name and listen to see if he likes it. If they do, they can buy, or simply decide to check a couple of other songs by listening to the first.This is an essential point, in which a person decides to choose a song, or if they're going to take a risk and buy more copies, or maybe even the entire album. Regardless of the decision that they are doing, how you came to a new artist or band will be directed straight through one piece at a time.
Get the facts, Matt
This is what I say - I think it is very important for artists and bands to release their best songs at a time. It is very easy to direct new listeners to a song once, and almost anyone can save 30 seconds in the day to listen and to determine if they like it or not. If they do, have their own initiative to purchase and / or listen to music of this artist and to determine whether or not they want to buy more music and more invested in this artist.

I'm going to do this, "Empty House" is my new song - the end is one of the songs my story, but I'm going to release several singles record first so it can drive people to the bite-size moments in store, so they are easily digestible. Search results for "Empty House" to be out a couple of weeks, I'm sure Posted!

Feel free to post all sorts of arguments here if you want (in the comments section), but at least for now, that is the direction I am writing ...
