In this episode of the Music Business Newsletter, Matthew Rix responds to an email from an independent artist from the United Kingdom who’s asking one of the biggest questions new artists face:
Should I start releasing singles one at a time, or wait to drop my first full EP?
Jordan has recorded five songs that fit together as a project. Still, he’s heard that singles are better for building momentum, especially on streaming platforms like Spotify, and for growing on social media.
It’s a question I get all the time, and the answer depends on strategy, timing, and your goals as an artist.
In this episode, I break down:
The difference between a single strategy and a project strategy
How to use singles to build momentum and audience trust
When an EP actually makes sense (and when it doesn’t)
