COVID-19 is halting live gigs and tours around the world. This has lead some artists to pause the release of their new album until they can get back on the road to promote. Others are finding creative ways to promote their new music and connecting with fans, without leaving the house.

No one can give you the correct move when it comes to releasing and promoting your music during this totally different time, as there is no known answer to what works. However, fans are more eager than ever for new music, being stuck at home looking for entertainment.
