How to create a new release

Every single, EP and album lives in Music. Start one as soon as you know it's coming, even with a working title.

Written by JC Sanchez

Create it

  1. Open Music.

  2. Click New.

  3. Optionally type a name. A working title is fine.

  4. Pick Single, EP or Album. The release is created right away.

Not sure it's a release yet? Pick Idea. Ideas are for early songs and concepts, and you can turn one into a single, EP or album later in Idea settings.

Music groups everything into Ideas, Singles, and EPs & Albums.

Inside a release

Each release has six tabs:

  • Creative: the concept, artwork and the release's mood board.

  • Strategy: the release date, tasks, the release plan, release checks, the pitch, budget and artist tools. See How to plan a release with Apollo.

  • Posts: social posts for the rollout.

  • Notes: notes for this release.

  • Metadata: the details distributors ask for.

  • Assets: files for the release.

Ideas have Creative, Notes and Assets only.

Next

Set the release date in Strategy, then ask Apollo to plan the rollout.
