RELEASE / NEWWAVE GUIDE

How do I prepare a track for Spotify and Apple Music?

Release materials and rights, and the difference between distribution and promotion.

Prepare final audio, artwork, track titles, artist name and contributor details. Releases are delivered through a distributor or label. NEWWAVE quotes distribution and promotion separately from music production.

Check the materials before delivery

Artist names, track titles and featured artists must be consistent. Fix the running order for an album. Check the chosen distributor’s current audio and artwork requirements before upload.

List authors and recording contributors, and check agreements covering beats, samples and artwork. Resolve permissions for third-party materials before committing to a release date.

  • Final audio and agreed titles.
  • Artwork, author and performer details.
  • Links to existing artist profiles.
  • EP or album track order.
  • Release date and announcement plan.

Distribution and promotion solve different tasks

Distribution delivers the music to platforms. It does not guarantee streams, editorial playlists or radio airplay. Promotion is separate work on presenting the release and communicating with listeners.

We can prepare radio materials and pitch suitable editorial teams. The radio station decides on rotation. Agree the campaign’s scope, schedule and budget before launch.

Connect release planning to production

For ONE EGIN’s “Сгорая-Свети”, Konstantin Galetsky created the artist name and all album beats, and handled recording, mixing and mastering. Apple Music and Spotify links are in the portfolio.

Tell us whether you need finished audio only or release support as well. We can plan the entire project and separately estimate distribution and promotion.
