In his latest article, Elias L. of Billboard Magazine asks, “Why are some artists waiting to put albums on streaming services?” With growing scrutiny on traditional models, we offer a refreshing alternative, allowing artists to experiment with exclusive physical releases, early digital downloads, and special events to create unique fan experiences. For instance, Knower’s exclusive Bandcamp release generated significant support and demonstrated how alternative strategies can engage listeners and drive meaningful interaction. Just as no two songs are alike, neither are the paths to releasing them; there’s no “one size fits all” strategy, as Andrew Jervis, Chief Curator, puts it, “We’re talking about art here — we’re not talking about widgets.” This philosophy reflects our commitment to authenticity, creativity, and community.
