A scam. To send a lot of newsletter, they're pretty good at it. But to find one playlist for my music, they were pitiful. I ask why, they said, my music is not that good. Bruh, I had more than 20 play... See more

Legit, fair feedback, a bit expensive

Legit, a bit expensive. Your song is submitted to six curators, the feedback is fair, the placement is not guaranteed. A bit expensive to me to submit to six curators, but legit. I wasn't aware of how it functions and they offered 50% discount because of it.

Hey Luna,

We have 6 curators and yes, your music was sent to all of them for potential placement on their playlists. You're free to DM/email any of the curators on our platform if they gave your track a listen and the answer would be a Yes.

We haven't tried to scam anyone here, we've clearly said this isn't a guaranteed placement in the FAQs as well.

You could send your track to each individual curator separately but it'd end up costing more than $17. Here, we've tried our best to make the service as affordable as possible. I apologize if you feel like this was a scam but we've been very clear about how the service works right from the start.

Regardless, we're sorry about the experience you had, we'd love to resolve this, please feel free to email us at support@greaserelease.co

Got a refund

Me and my friend both tried Grease release. Both didn't get onto anything even though we're on many other good playlists through Groover and Submithub. However, after writing this review, they refunded me. So that was nice.

I submitted a song via Grease Release

I submitted a song via Grease Release. During the process I had one email saying the song had been approved, and then one email saying one playlist curator liked the song (but hadn't added the song to the playlist so I had to email Grease Release to chase up).

Grease Release did then speak to the playlist curator and the song was added, though nothing else happened: we had no campaign summary, no feedback from curators, and no evidence of who listened to the song. I think Grease Release could improve its transparency and send artists/submitters a post-campaign report.

I've given two stars as the price is reasonable - I estimate that playlist curators on the platform earn $1 per song or receive a monthly fee, so the value works out though, for one playlist add, I'd recommend using Submithub & Groover as they are a bit better value for money and both user-friendly platforms with greater transparency.

Hey,

Thanks for taking the time out to share your experience. Sometimes, there's a bit of back and forth on the backend which is why your track wasn't added instantly, we apologize for any confusion and the fact that you had to follow up. We're trying to make this process as smooth as possible and we'll make sure to review our internal processes to ensure this doesn't happen again in the future.

Just to make it clear, your track was listened to by the curator who accepted your track, they make the final decision. However, we recognize the value of providing more detailed reports after a campaign and we're definitely gonna work on that!

In case you have any more queries, please send in an email to support@greaserelease.co and we’d be happy to assist.

Cheers
Tushar

Great service

This is a great playlisting service that actively curates to make sure your music gets on the right playlist. There are a lot of fake playlist services out there but this is not one of them. If your song is not a good fit they will not try to take your money which is refreshing to see.

Would not recommend...

Would not recommend over other similar services like Submithub or Groover. Lack of transparency when it comes to what curators (or even how many) they sent your track to. Said they don't have a suitable playlist for my song because they only curate "radio/commercial genres" which they don't mention on their website.

Hey Greg,

We'd like to clarify that our curators have multiple playlists across different genres. While we're trying to accommodate as many genres as possible, our curators also have a responsibility to the listeners who have expressed a preference for certain styles of music.

However, this does not mean we exclude other genres. Feel free to check out any of our curators and their playlists (there are plenty across different genres). We're also constantly evolving our curation process to incorporate a wider variety of music, including lesser-known genres and experimental sounds.

Regarding the lack of transparency you mentioned, we understand the importance of clear communication, and we apologize if there was any confusion. You can read more about how the service works in the FAQs here - https://www.greaserelease.co/music-submission

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

Cheers!

A Game-Changer for Musicians

I recently had the pleasure of discovering GreaseRelease which has completely revolutionized my music career. As an aspiring musician, I've always struggled with getting my songs noticed and reaching a wider audience. However, this company's services have proven to be a game-changer in my journey, and I can't praise them enough for their invaluable assistance.

First and foremost, this playlist submission company boasts an extensive network of curated playlists across various platforms, including popular streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and more. They have cultivated relationships with influential playlist curators who have an ear for exceptional music and a passion for promoting emerging artists. Through their expertise and connections, they have opened doors for musicians like myself, giving us a fighting chance to be heard.

The submission process itself is straightforward and user-friendly. The company's platform allows musicians to easily submit their tracks for consideration with just a few clicks. It's a seamless experience that saves valuable time and energy, enabling artists to focus on their craft while leaving the promotional aspect to the professionals.

What sets this playlist submission company apart from others is their personalized approach. They take the time to understand each artist's unique style, genre, and target audience. By tailoring their submissions to specific playlists that align with the artist's music, they increase the chances of getting featured in front of the right listeners. This level of attention to detail shows their genuine commitment to supporting musicians and maximizing their exposure.

Furthermore, the results speak for themselves. Thanks to the efforts of this playlist submission company, my tracks have gained significant traction and reached a wider audience than I ever thought possible. I've experienced a surge in streaming numbers, garnered new followers on social media, and even received positive feedback from fans who discovered my music through curated playlists. The impact on my career has been immeasurable.

Not only do they excel at playlist submissions, but this company also offers valuable insights and guidance to artists. They provide feedback on tracks, suggesting areas for improvement and helping artists refine their sound. Additionally, they share valuable marketing strategies and tips for building a solid online presence. It's like having a dedicated team of industry experts by your side, supporting your growth every step of the way.

In summary, the playlist submission company I have had the privilege of working with has truly exceeded my expectations.

Amazing Platform For Music Creators

For independent Artists, and even established, it has become very difficult to find (non botted) legitimate playlist. If you are looking for a group of curators, that are actually going to listen to your music, and potentially give your music a boost, look no further. Also, and yes, it may be a small upfront fee to submit your music, but keep in mind, it cost a lot more money to keep this platform, and curators running. I would highly recommend the service, just keep in mind, the music has to be good, and quality, or it will be rejected (it’s happened to me in the past), as you have real curators reviewing. Keep submitting with every release, as landing on a playlist can make a world of difference. I 100% recommend the service!
