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

Thorough Feedback.

by Artist: Deniz Love

The Grease Release A&R's are always very honest and constructive with their advice. After taking their advice on my last song I was able to come back with a more mature product that they were willing to support on their playlists.

If you focus on your music and are open to honest feedback, they might add you to their playlists even if you've been declined before.

Very Professional

My new favorite submission platform! Honest feedback, and the playlists have awesome engagement. Definitely plan on submitting again with new releases!

Responce on service

Sent one track, 125ee0a7-a020-49eb-bf37-0b7ddb33c1cf, and got responce. Looking forward to evaluate this service.

"We really enjoyed the production here, very groovy and we quite liked the vocals and melody here too. Sadly, there wasn't a hook here which really gripped us or got us excited. We really wish the hook was a little more stronger and maybe even a little more intense but then again, we understand the vibe and mood you were going for. We also felt the instrument patches weren't of very high quality which made the track lose clarity. There could've been some more variations of the melody as well to really engage the listener and sadly, we just didn't feel it with this one.

We constantly get new curators on our network and new playlists from our curators so as soon we come across a playlist where this track could fit, we'll make sure to place your music there. However, for now, our team gave your track a few solid listens but sadly, we'll have to pass on this one."

I didn't pay to get feedback - I paid for playlist placement. Music is subjective, you either like it or you don't. Why pay for services that deliver nothing. Spotify recommends not to pay for playlist services - I finally realized that they are right!

Hi Arnold, it's clearly mentioned on the website that we don't guarantee placements since that's considered payola and we don't engage in anything of that sort. We even mentioned how the service worked in the payment form, it's there in the FAQ's as well.

However, we hate seeing artists upset since that's not what we want or are trying to do here so please send us an email at support@greaserelease.co and we'd love to resolve this!

Can't complain!

I submitted 3 tracks for consideration. One of them was put on a playlist with a pretty decent following. Although the other two were rejected, they provided an honest review for each of them, along with constructive criticism. I'll definitely use them again in the future!

We were happy with GreaseRelease…

We were happy with the GreaseRelease service - they followed up quickly, professionally and placed 1 out of 3 tracks on a good playlist. That's a very acceptable ratio!

Great feedback and thanks for the playlist placement

I really appreciate the feedback the A&R department gave me regarding my songs. I am in the middle of recording a new album and plan to incorporate many of your critiques into the new mixes. Also, I was very happy to have one of my songs included in your playlist "a walk in the forest." A very pleasant surprise! I look forward to sharing more of my tracks with you in the future.

Great Support and Timely Feedback!

Submitted 3 songs to Greaserrelease and they were quick and thoughtful in their feedback. Two of the songs were added to playlists and I'm excited to see the results. For the song that was not shared, thoughtful feedback was provided. Highly recommend!

FRAUD!

Basically, it's just fraud.

The service I paid for was to submit my song to multiple playlists. It was not to send to an A&R person from greaserelease.co for feedback. The email response they send is not worth $17.00. They deliberately mislead about the service they provide by listing high listener figures for a series of curators. They now say they have not even sent my song on to curators - I was paying to submit to curators, not for A&R feedback. This is fradulent, misleading selling of a fake service. I would like my money back.

Hi Adam,

Your track was sent to all the curators on our network, the A&R team just facilitates the entire process and gives you the collective feedback they received from the curators.
We never said that your feedback wasn't sent from the curators, it definitely was. Feel free to DM or email or message any of the curators you see on our website and they'll confirm that they did receive your track.

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

Scam and waste of time

Hello,
greaserelease proposes to submit your track for 17 dollars with the possibility to integrate the curators' playlists.
I only received a rough feedback, not very detailed and containing only "subjective" arguments.
For much less, you can get the same kind of feedback from them on submithub or groover (3 or 4 dollars) ....

pass your way, and avoid their website, better you go through the platforms named above because the rate on their site is a scam!

We pitch your music to a lot of curators on our platform for a total of $17. It'd probably cost you more if you had to pitch your music to each curator individually.
Plus, we have a dedicated A&R team that goes back and forth with the curators deciding on where your track could be placed and we try our best to place your music on one or multiple playlists/ Youtube channels.

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

Pretty good, feedback could be better

I submitted three tracks, one of which was accepted. It has been included in a playlist with a huge following so I am expecting lots of streams from this.

I am always wary of paid submissions because if your songs are rejected then you've paid for not very much. I got a response within about a week and received feedback on the two songs that were rejected.

The feedback was good, more than just the 'not for me' that you often get. They included some specific things about my tracks explaining why they didn't accept them. I gave 4 stars because I felt the feedback could be more extensive given that I have paid for it. That said I would definitely use this service again.
