very short feedback

A bittersweet experience. I've been reading the newsletter for over a year and finally decided to submit a song, expecting a review more than a placement, as I know I have a lot to improve. But I was really looking forward to that review, to know what I needed to work on.
And for 17$, I feel like 3 sentences of feedback is a bit short. I'm lost as to what to do to improve, so it's useless for me at the end of the day.

Seriously, 222 characters to tell me what's wrong, that's not even a tweet :/

EDIT: I was able to talk to the founder who, whilst not giving more feedback, was able to refund a part of the fee, which honestly makes it more acceptable. So more stars from me I guess.

Groover is more honest.

I'm giving you 2 stars because you did say a few nice things about my track. Here's where I have a problem. For most of the negative reviews your response is we sent your track and no playlisters picked it up. I get that. Payola is against the rules. But in your response you said your a&r department decided my track wasn't good enough. You didn't even send my track. You brag that you have so many playlisters for so many genres. And you sent my track to no one. If I was someone who at least had a chance I'd be ok. But you personally decided no one would like it. I sent you 2 tracks and you did the same thing both times. If you really gave it a chance and you really had that many varied playlisters someone would have played my song. And by the way. Groover doesnt decide whether a song gets sent. The playlisters hear the song and decide for themselves. Much more honest!

Hi Jonathan,

Like we've mentioned in the FAQs, the feedback you receive is always from the curators themselves, the A&R team only collates the feedback and sends it over to the artist. We can assure you that your track was sent to all the curators on our network. Feel free to get in touch with any of the curators and they'll tell you that your track was given a proper listen.

Regardless, we're sorry for the experience you had and we'd love to resolve this. Please send us an email at support@greaserelease.co

Greaserelease does exactly what they say they will do... in this business, that is not a given. They have big playlists they work with and the placement makes a real difference in your marketing campaign!

$17 for a piece of feedback

$17 for a piece of feedback. Won’t use again. My song’s been picked up by 28 other independent playlist curators in a span of the same week of sending to GreaseRelease. I understand that they said they don’t guarantee placements. I’m just saying it’s not worth the money for my experience. I’d reach out to ask if the customer had another song they could place, or specify what kind of music they are likely to place

Hey Amy,

We mentioned that we can't guarantee placements in our FAQs and even put up a disclaimer stating the same right before you made the payment.

We sent your track to all the curators on our network and unfortunately, they declined it. Guaranteeing placements is illegal and against Spotify's TOS (Payola). We feel this review is a bit unfair considering we've mentioned how this service works from the start.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

fair price, good communication

For a really good price, I got into a well fitting genre playlist for my song, which really helped me kickstart my release. On top of that, the communication with the team is really great.

Don’t waste your money

Don’t waste your money. It’s definitely a money making scheme designed to criticise musicians and take their money.

Hi Rushard,

We've clearly mentioned how the service works and that it's not a guaranteed placement. We pitched your music to our curators and unfortunately, it was declined. We work like any other submission platform out there and we've clearly mentioned in the FAQs about how our we work and there's even a big chunk of text explaining more right before you hit the "Submit" button.

We've also sent you an email, please give it a look, thanks :)

Edit (March 4th 2024): We've sent over multiple emails but we haven't received a response from you, let us know if you give it a look

It's great!

It's great! They take the time to listen to your song and provide feedback within just a couple of days. My song appeared in its designated playlist within 48 hours of their response.

Hi Ales,

Your music was pitched to 80-90% of the playlists on our network and like we've mentioned before, we can’t possibly guarantee placements since that’s considered illegal (Payola) and goes against Spotify’s TOS. The fees you're paying are for the curators' time and effort and not for a guaranteed placement.

This is also how all the submission platforms work (Submithub, Groover, PlaylistPush etc) and we aren’t doing anything different here. We’ve also clearly mentioned how the service works on our FAQs and there’s a disclaimer on our website right before you hit the ‘Submit’ button and make the payment as well. We’ve been very transparent with how our service works right from the start.

Regardless, we're sorry you aren't happy with the results, please send a mail to support@greaserelease.co and we'd love to resolve this :)

A little confusing critique but good and honest constructive criticism.

They gave me a different perspective it actually felt like real people critiqued our music instead of a bot. The critique was tough and a little confusing as well, as they liked the tracks but very different on how it was approached. It was not the typical and average hearer of the song but it was encouraging as well as constructive criticism. It was different but I am glad that we were able to finally get on a major playlist it was awesome this is the first major playlist that we have been added to so it is a awesome feeling and its great that it was Grease Release that accepted our track!!!

SCAM

Me parece injusto y deshonesto que cobren por no aceptar tu canción. Yo podría vender un servicio así y decir a todos que su canción no califica pero me quedo con su dinero.

Conoce mi música y me dirás si merece o no la oportunidad. Mi Nombre es ( Harry Carrera ) en todas las plataformas digitales.

It seems unfair and dishonest to me that they charge for not accepting your song . I could sell a service like that and tell everyone that their song doesn't qualify but I'll keep their money.

Get to know my music and tell me if it deserves the opportunity or not. My Name is ( Harry Carrera ) on all digital platforms.

Grease Release is so so amazing

Grease Release is so so amazing! I submitted my song and it got on a playlist right away of 60,000 likes! I highly recommend them. I took a shot because I had never heard of them but now I'll be using them for all my releases.
