The album is finally finding its rightful new place.
Which is to say…you don’t have to make one.
When no one is keeping track you can make whatever you want, we just want it to be good.
Put out a single, a bunch of singles, an EP, an album, a double album. We’re simply waiting for a project you’ve poured thought and care and excellence into.
Any pressure you feel to put out an album is self induced.
It’s a new normal.
***The idea of the album is still being used in label deals and publishing deals. But it’ll get phased out. An album will be a release option if you have a group of songs that ought to be released all together, but it won’t be written into the deals.
Once the album gets omitted from the contracts, it’ll truly be a new frontier for the way songs are released.
