There’s a common theme I’ve noticed with musicians today and it’s that we all need to be reassured. The Music we make needs to be shared with friends or teased on instagram to “make sure people like it” or “make sure it sounds right”….. i think that is very silly. Just post it. Just post what you feel. Fuck if it’s in key, fuck if it sounds like the next guy, who gives a crap. Just post something. It doesn’t matter at all. Stop creating for the people who listen because they have no idea what they want to listen too until they listen! Does this make sense? Why do we feel the urge to be careful with what we make why is everybody testing it out first before they release it to the world? I’m no saint I’ve definitely done this in the past but it always feels so silly. In no way am i saying posting a snippet means you are scared or testing the waters because sometimes it can be the artist is just excited to share. But a lot of it is just for reassurance. I also understand that music is a very vulnerable thing and sharing it is not easy. But if you want to sell what you are making, don’t make sure people like it first. It’s silly, it’s dumb. do painters “test” the painting before they sell it? Do they post a photo and say “what yall think 🔥🔥” ? Yeah …. Didn’t think so… (PS. ONE MORE THING SHOWING YOUR GOOD HOMEBOYS OR GIRLS A SONG YOU ARE WORKING ON AND ASKING THEM AN OPINION ON IT IS NOT WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT… EVEN THOUGH YOU DONT NEED ANYBODY ELSES OPINION BUT YOURS….. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN)
