ok peeps, so who wants to leave behind the sensitive,  nice souls on the forum and get some 100% honest feedback from pro A&R people? I heard of this offer, related to Black Friday, where if you create an account with Spinnup you can release a single for free, through Spotify and iTunes and get feedback from 3 guest A&R scouts at Warner Bros music.

The link is here: https://spinnup.com/sound-advice/

They state it is only for UK-based artists at the moment but I am checking this with them and will let you know if I have any updates (i.e. ways to break the rules).

I think it´s gotta be worth a shout

I have a thick skin and wouldn't mind trying something like that, but I'm not from the UK, so--unless they let in anyone who's a member of a forum based in the UK--I'm out of luck. Of course, it would depend on how much it costs to create an account with Spinnup.

Sounds interesting but I don't need the reality check. Think I'll stay in cuckoo land!

I think I'd be interested in this if I were aiming for Radio land but I'm a little closeted in my indie pop world atm. Plus, I'm already terribly aware of my own shortcomings...

I think a bit of honest feedback would do us good. You don´t have to publish it!

Agree!  Not sure I want Warner's telling me to sound more like The Feeling.  Note that was the only 'modern' band I could think of without Googling. Not sure if they're even still going....or modern...let me just Google that....

I would love to do this but not sure that me singing (badly) into my phone with no music would get much of a critique!

Think others should definitely do it though.  You never know what doors it could open.  Even if it's simply through boosting somebody's confidence.

Cheers

If you do music for fun and aren't that bothered then fine. But if you're serious about a career in music you should definitely do it.
