There is no magic submission form for Spotify Fresh Finds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no legitimate service that can guarantee placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route starts inside Spotify for Artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pitch before release<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spotify says the best way for independent artists to get upcoming music in front of its editors is to submit an unreleased track through Spotify for Artists. Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means timing matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your song is already live, you’ve missed that release’s editorial pitching window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the right track<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can pitch one upcoming track at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick the song that best represents the release and your current artist direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give editors useful context<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your pitch should explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • genre;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • mood;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • instruments;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • culture;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • location;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • story;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • marketing plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Avoid meaningless claims such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThis is the song of the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Give useful information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finish your artist profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If an editor investigates your artist, your profile should look active and intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • image;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • bio;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Artist Pick;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • social presence;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • catalogue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Don’t buy placement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Fresh Finds is editorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Anyone claiming they can guarantee you a place for money should immediately raise questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What happens if you get selected?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Eligible artists added to Fresh Finds may be invited to Spotify’s Fresh Finds Forward programme, which provides 12 months of additional resources and benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The bigger opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Spotify says more than half of Fresh Finds artists later reach other editorial playlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So treat the placement as momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Follow it with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • another strong release;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • artist content;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • social promotion;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • live activity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • fan capture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        You cannot force your way into Fresh Finds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        But you can make yourself easier to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Deliver early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Pitch properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Build a coherent artist profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        And make sure you have another move ready if Spotify gives you the opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
