How to work with musical artists for album cover? Most of my shoots are for concerts, and I did my first shoot with a musical artist for an album cover. I’m used to editing the photos I have and just sending across, but for this shoot it’s more collaborative since the artist has her own vision for how the album cover should look. How should I think about balancing our ideas? To what extent is t…

Hey, Canadians! Tell us about some of the artists who were big there, but not in America. Example: Chilliwack I recently watched the classic SCTV sketch featuring a song that I didn’t know. See here: https://youtu.be/ZaHfWqmC18A?si=_hG4pzoAvu6fu1_n I decided to look into it, assuming it would be a sort of post-punk song as indicated by the way Moranis played. Nope! Americans, see here: https://youtu.be/MwbfYR6urhY?si=txBTFuYWMFCSavj6 It turns out this i…

Currently in Strasbourg on artists’ grant, looking to spend some solitary time in the South of France. Suggestions? Hi r/travelers! I’m a novelist who’s been granted a lovely flat and art space to work on my current book in a vibrant, though not touristy part of Strasbourg. I’ll be here another, perhaps, 6 weeks. Loving the food and the vibe, it’s been a great place to work on my stuff both writing-wise and personal-wise. That being said, my personal-wise arc…

Loving going down discography rabbit holes for artists I have been getting in this mode where I hear a song I like and go down these long rabbit holes of their discography looking for good deep cuts and hidden gems. For example I randomly heard Aqualung by Jethro Tull the other day. I had the thought “Man I bet I would love Jethro Tull’s other music”. Which led to such a rabbit hole of just so much …

Why Are Users Viewing Music Artists’ Content on TikTok? As part of my college senior thesis course, I’m conducting research to understand the major reasons TikTok users choose to interact with content generated by music artists on the platform, as well as what actions users might take upon experiencing said content. If you commonly see posts made by music artists, or are one yourself, I’d love it if …

Which american artists are massive in the United States, but not so much in other countries? I’m always surprised to see the Eagles have two of the best all-time selling albums in the US, but in my backyard they were basically a one-hit wonder. Also, as a young rock’n roll fan, we all knew Janis, some were familiar with Patti, but Linda Ronstadt? Total stranger. submitted by /u/FlatBat2372

I went looking for a clip of audio or video of it, and after some research, I found they’ve never played it live before. What songs are on your wishlist that a band has never played live? The song : https://youtu.be/kvD_ZiC…

Songs with multiple artists you like that should/could have made a great collaboration, but made nothing of the sort Features/Collabs that were extremely disappointing I feel like this has happened to me a lot in both rap and Metal (loved equally). 2(or more) great artists/producers/DJ’s etc get together for what you would think would be a banger… and/or lyrically amazing, yet it’s neither. ( I know this is all just personal taste/ opinion, but I can’t be t…

Social media for artists / illustrators? Although it’s not yet my day job, I am a published author/illustrator. I kept up with all the social media trends for about 6 years with very little reward. When engagement began to only follow short form videos, I slowed down and lost motivation. My instagram app repeatedly stops working making it nearly impossible to engage with the platform o…

Small artists losing will to create due to Suno – wonder how widespread this will be. A close friend of mine is a fantastic musician. He plays like ten instruments, sings, knows everything about production, and has been making his own stuff for like 20+ years. He’s one of the perpetually unlucky ones who never gets views or online comments, basically just making albums and throwing them into the void. The way he explained things …
