The music industry has transformed greatly in the last two decades. They have seen the growth of digital streaming services, social media, and online marketing, which in turn has given up-and-coming artists a world stage to present their material. But with great change also comes great challenge, which in turn requires knowledge, strategy, and perseverance to overcome. In this article they will look at what key strategies emerging artists can use to do well in the present-day music industry.
Understanding the Industry Landscape
Before jumping into promotion and audience building, artists must first research the business environment. The music industry today is not what it used to be, which is to say run almost exclusively by the major record labels. Independent artists now have access to tools for the distribution, promotion, and monetization of their music, which they do not have to go through traditional industry gatekeepers for. They see platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, which artists use to reach millions of listeners worldwide. Also, they have social media players like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, which artists use to connect with fans directly.
Also, they see that present-day technology such as text-to-speech APIs, which artists are using to put out audio versions of their blogs, interviews, or promotional material at great speed, in turn makes it easy to get to audiences that prefer to listen instead of read. Also, these tools open up new fields in podcasting, audio marketing, and fan engagement.
However, in that which they are seeing from the increase in democracy in this space, they see that thousands of songs are put out daily, which in turn makes it very important for artists to present a unique sound, tell great stories, and also very much engage with their audience.
Building a Strong Personal Brand
A personal brand is very important for an artist that wants to stand out. What you present as a brand includes your music style and also your look and public image. It’s a story which you tell to your audience and the industry of who you are, what your all about, and why they should pay attention to what you do.
In creating your personal brand pay attention to:
Find your sound: Figure out what really makes your music yours, and stick with it. People notice when you’re genuine.
Keep your visuals tight, too: Make your album covers, your social media, and all your promo stuff look like they belong together. It helps people recognize you right away.
Don’t be shy about sharing your story: Talk about what drives you, what matters to you, the stuff that inspires your songs. That’s how you really reach people.
And don’t sleep on new tools: Turn your written words into audio with Text-to-Voice API services. It’s an easy way to get your work in front of more people, especially those who prefer listening over reading.
Leveraging Social Media and Digital Marketing
Social media has transformed into the primary platform for music promotion. Artists use these channels to put out new material, report on tours, and also connect with fans in real time. Out of which, TikTok has proved to be that which puts music viral, and Instagram that which best presents a visual story of what is going on behind the scenes and of artists’ personal lives.
Also, in terms of social media, they have email newsletters, playlist pitching, and working with influencers, which is what they see for artists’ expansion. As for analytics tools, they are very valuable, which they use to determine audience demographics, listening trends, and engagement, which in turn they use to make informed promotion decisions.
Networking and Collaboration
In the music industry relationships are key. They have to network with other musicians, producers, managers, and media professionals, which in turn presents them with opportunities that may not present themselves to them otherwise. Also, in terms of collaboration with other artists, not only do they expand their fan base, but they also grow creatively from being exposed to different styles and techniques.
Attending trade shows, taking part in workshops, and getting involved in online communities are great ways to build your network. Also it is in the mix that they develop lasting and productive connections that are based on mutual respect and shared goals.
Understanding the Business Side
While in the core of music is creativity, what they find is also of great importance is the business side of it. Up-and-coming artists should get to know contracts, royalties, publishing rights, and licensing agreements. Many artists they see fall into what are very common problems, such as signing what in fact are poor deals, or they ignore copyright protections that in the long term prove to be very risky.
Also at times it is a good idea to get professional input. A great music lawyer or manager may put you in good stead by giving you advice, which in turn protects your work and also helps you out with complex agreements in the industry.
Staying Resilient and Adaptable
The music business is a very unpredictable field. Trends break out and then fade away, platforms which used to be the norm are replaced by new ones and what fans want changes very quickly. Which artists do well are the ones that don’t give up when the going gets tough, that can weather rejection, criticism, or periods of slow growth. Also very important is an artist’s ability to adapt; they have to be willing to try out new approaches, learn from what doesn’t work and improve their game constantly.
Final Thoughts
Emerge from the shadows into a world which presents an array of tools and opportunities for your music. By studying the industry, crafting a robust personal brand, using digital platforms to your advantage, smartly networking, handling the business side of things well, and including in your arsenal modern tools such as Text-to-Voice API’s artists may not just weather the storm but excel in today’s tough climate. As it stands there are still issues to be dealt with but the mix of talent, strategy and perseverance is the path to long term success.
With every date on their U.S. tour officially sold out, rising rock band Geese are taking a stand for their fans — announcing a new partnership with CashorTrade, the world’s only face-value ticket exchange. The partnership aims to educate fans on safely buying, selling, and trading tickets while providing a trusted, community-based platform to keep tickets in the hands of real fans — not scalpers.

This initiative comes at a time when tickets originally priced around $35 are being listed for over $500 on secondary resale sites — an egregious markup that the band firmly opposes.
To celebrate the launch, CashorTrade is offering an exclusive ticket drop for two sold-out shows on Geese’s tour — October 26 at Wonder Ballroom (Portland, OR) and October 31 at Quartyard (San Diego, CA) — available only through the band’s official CashorTrade page. Fans will have the chance to score face-value tickets to these highly sought-after dates, ensuring a few more real fans get through the door.
“Geese are doing what every artist should — standing up for their fans and taking back control of the resale market,” said Brando Rich, CEO of CashorTrade. “We’re thrilled to partner with a band that shares our mission of fairness and transparency in live music.”

Independent active rock band Set It Off have announced The Self-Titled Tour, set to hit North America across October, November and December 2025.
The headline run ties in with the release of the band’s first ever independent album – the self-titled ‘Set It Off’ – which is due out on November 07 (PRE-ORDER / PRE-SAVE).

“It’s been a while since we’ve been able to do an entire headline tour on the back of a brand new album and we can’t WAIT get back on the road and celebrate the release of our first completely independent self-titled album with all of our amazing fans!” says vocalist Cody Carson.
“This album was made with our live show in mind. The energy level of these shows is going to be out of control and we can’t wait for you to see why we named ourselves Set It Off in the first place!
“On top of that, we are bringing with us three amazing artists in Fame On Fire, Vana and The Pretty Wild! We are genuinely fans of all of them and we all can’t wait to give you the show of a lifetime! So grab tickets while you still can, because these shows are going to sell out.”
The band’s new era has found them selling out tours globally, playing conversation-starting sets at hard rock festivals and supporting the likes of I Prevail and Hollywood Undead, while singles like ‘Punching Bag’ and ‘Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing [REBORN]’ have hit rock radio charts for the first time in the band’s career.
“It feels like we found our people,” explains drummer Maxx Danziger. “I’ve always enjoyed playing and performing, but it’s at a peak right now. Every time I go out there, I’m so excited.”

An epic achievement and a huge delight, the entire history of popular music over the past fifty years refracted through the big genres that have defined and dominated it: rock, R&B, country, punk, hip-hop, dance music, and pop
Kelefa Sanneh, one of the essential voices of our time on music and culture, has made a deep study of how popular music unites and divides us, charting the way genres become communities. In Major Labels, Sanneh distills a career’s worth of knowledge about music and musicians into a brilliant and omnivorous reckoning with popular music—as an art form (actually, a bunch of art forms), as a cultural and economic force, and as a tool that we use to build our identities. He explains the history of slow jams, the genius of Shania Twain, and why rappers are always getting in trouble.
Sanneh shows how these genres have been defined by the tension between mainstream and outsider, between authenticity and phoniness, between good and bad, right and wrong. Throughout, race is a powerful touchstone: just as there have always been Black audiences and white audiences, with more or less overlap depending on the moment, there has been Black music and white music, constantly mixing and separating. Sanneh debunks cherished myths, reappraises beloved heroes, and upends familiar ideas of musical greatness, arguing that sometimes, the best popular music isn’t transcendent. Songs express our grudges as well as our hopes, and they are motivated by greed as well as idealism; music is a powerful tool for human connection, but also for human antagonism. This is a book about the music everyone loves, the music everyone hates, and the decades-long argument over which is which. The opposite of a modest proposal, Major Labels pays in full
Diamond-certified and GRAMMY Award-nominated pop singer and songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen celebrates a decade of her unanimously acclaimed third full-length album, E•MO•TION, with a special 10Th Anniversary Edition out October 17, 2025 via Interscope/UMe. It arrives in multiple configurations such as Digital Deluxe, ATMOS, and various exclusive Vinyl variants. The Vinyl pressings include 1LP Blue Swirl Color Vinyl, 1LP Zoetrope Vinyl, and 2LP Magenta Swirl Color Vinyl with a special alternate cover plus an insert of the original cover.
E•MO•TION (10Th Anniversary Edition) notably features six bonus tracks, including both the Kyle Shearer and Rostam remixes of “Run Away With Me” and four previously unreleased tracks, “More,” “Guardian Angel,” “Back Of My Heart,” and “Lost In Devotion.”
As such, she proudly presents the definitive version of her pop opus now.
Jepsen originally released E•MO•TION on June 24, 2015. Upon arrival, it crashed the Top 10 of the Top Albums Chart in Canada and the Top 20 of the Billboard 200. Among a bevy of fan-favorite anthems, this body of work comprises her Platinum-certified single “I Really Like You,” “Run Away With Me,” “Your Type,” and many more. EMOTION earned a host of rave reviews with several outlets – including TIME, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork, People, Stereogum, Vulture, and Complex – declaring it the pop album of 2015.
However, E•MO•TION’s influence has only continued to magnify throughout the last decade, emerging as a high watermark of 21st-century pop music.
Thus far, the record has surpassed 1 billion streams and counting. Pitchfork hailed it among “The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s,” describing it as “a certified cult hit – relatable in the way that a really good rom-com is, and just as rare.” On “The 100 Greatest Albums of the 2010s,” Billboard christened it “a filler-free dance-pop classic in a decade woefully short on them.” Touted as one of “The 100 Best Albums of the 2010s,” Rolling Stone affirmed, “E•MO•TION opened up a whole new world of possibility and reintroduced her as a gleeful pop superfan who can make infectious tunes that pay tribute to the genre itself.” Paste placed it at #1 on “The 30 Best Pop Albums of the 2010s,” proceeding to claim, “If a Disney princess made a record after being dumped, this masterpiece would be it.”
Last night, August 19, 2025, Carly Rae Jepsen kicked off the 10th anniversary celebration of E•MO•TION with a sold-out, intimate show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles, the venue where Jepsen first performed songs from E•MO•TION in 2015. Jepsen broke the venue’s record last month when over 100,000 fans were in the queue to try and get into the 500-capacity room for the anniversary show.

Nashville-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lydia Luce has announced her new album Mammoth, due out October 31. Produced with longtime collaborator Jordan Lehning (Kacey Musgraves, Joy Oladokun, Caitlin Rose), the new record documents Luce’s triumphant journey of self-discovery and finding a sense of peace.
Along with the announcement, she shares the album’s sweeping opening title track, which was inspired by her winding road back to physical health after a period of debilitating chronic pain that forced her to step away from music. Arriving with a dreamy music video filmed in the great outdoors, “Mammoth” also sets the tone for the upcoming album, which incorporates nature recordings into the soundtrack for this current chapter of tranquility.
About the new song, Luce says: “‘Mammoth’ was written with Jake Finch and Collin Pastore, two incredible producers/songwriters. I loved writing this with them, we kept the guitar parts from the day we wrote it because they are so incredible! The music video was created with Jason Lee Denton and Aliegh Shields. We hiked over 30 miles on the Rocky Mountains with my husband Ryan assisting. It was an incredibly magical time in nature with buds. Grateful that we have this time capsule of a video to remember it.”
In 2023, Luce was diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc, bilateral carpal tunnel, tennis elbow and an inflamed bone. At one point, the pain was so bad she could barely hold her instruments. She was medically advised to stop playing at the time but music is her life, quite literally, as an artist and session violinist, and she continued until the pain was so bad she finally had no choice. Surgery, plus a newfound understanding of her body, has left her in a much better place. “I had never asked for so much help,” she says. “I couldn’t open or carry anything. But now I’m happy to say I’m stable, strong and playing my instruments again.”
“Mammoth” follows the meditative “Wisteria” and “Florence,” a tender lullaby dedicated to her soon-to-be-born first child that was written while yearning for motherhood. Recorded over just one week at Peter Gabriel’s celebrated recording institution Real World Studios in the UK countryside, Mammoth began with the search for the right sonic textures — in this case, sounds like the blowing wind and morning birdsong were woven into the instrumentation. Luce here was equally inspired by the quietly contemplative compositions of ambient music, something she has been working on individually through her Lethe music project. Lehning and Luce, who together run the Nashville-based string collective Lockeland Strings, also recruited their partners and his children into the studio for a creative family affair.
Throughout the new album, there are potent common threads of self-love, hope and acceptance, along with a fervent belief in the serendipity of the last few years. “These songs reflect where I am in my life right now,” explains Luce. “They’re about the peace I’ve finally found at home, in my body, and in my relationships.
Following a summer of palpable and ever-escalating momentum, multi-platinum Maryland quartet All Time Low releases its highly anticipated tenth full-length studio release, Everyone’s Talking! via their own imprint, Basement Noise Records, in partnership with Photo Finish Records/Virgin Music Group.
For a multi-decade outfit known for their anthemic, inimitable sound and fiercely loyal fanbase, the new LP stands as yet another marker of All Time Low’s undeniable, everlasting impact on the music world. Even more fulfilling for the band, the stunning Everyone’s Talking! is as clear an indicator as any that 20-plus years together as a band has collectively built to this undeniably momentous moment.
“Our music showcases us literally growing up,” frontman Alex Gaskarth explains of where the band has previously been and where it’s now arrived with the album. “Our band has been this unfiltered piece of ourselves that we’ve put out there into the world. We see ourselves as a current band, a current act that continues to push forward and not one that’s just built on its legacy,” the singer adds proudly of All Time Low, who have sold more than 3.5 million albums in the U.S. alone and have garnered over 5 billion streams worldwide to date.
“Sugar,” a standout track from the new album, is direct proof of how sometimes the best things in life take time to materialize. A collaboration with the singer JoJo, the epic “Sugar,” Gaskarth recently told US Weekly, is more than a decade in the making. “We linked up years ago,” Gaskarth recalls of JoJo. “I used to go and watch this band play at a jazz bar in L.A. and she would sometimes just pop up and do her thing. We got to chatting and loosely stayed in touch ever since. Years later, it came full circle [with ‘Sugar’].”
Since kicking off their bold new era earlier this summer with the release of their new album’s debut single, “Suckerpunch,” which they performed to over 25,000 fans at Warped Tour in DC, All Time Low has certainly not slowed down: they surprise-released a new song “Oh No!” earlier this month, are set to perform their Top 10 alternative radio hit single “The Weather” on NBC’s Today Show on September 25th, and even thrilled fans with surprise performances at both the Jonas Brothers’ DC stadium gig as well as at a recent Savannah Bananas game in Baltimore.
The band’s 30-plus-date Everyone’s Talking! Tour kicks off on October 4th in Missoula, Montana, with support from special guests Mayday Parade, The Cab, Four Year Strong, and The Paradox across select cities. Due to overwhelming demand, the band has added second show dates in both Boston and New York City. All Time Low will also be taking their talents across the pond in 2026 with headlining arena tour dates in the UK and Europe. Kicking off on January 20, 2026, in Glasgow, the tour touches down at London’s famed O2 Arena, in addition to stops in Paris, Prague, Barcelona, and more, with support from Mayday Parade, Four Year Strong, and The Paradox.
On ASHES AND DIAMONDS’ slinky new single “ON,” vocalist/guitarist Daniel Ash (Bauhaus/Love And Rockets/Tones on Tail) sings “When you’re on, you’re on.” From the media praise being lavished on the new band and their upcoming debut album ASHES AND DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (release date: October 31, 2025 via Cleopatra Records), not only is the trio of rock heroes “on,” they’re revved up and ready to go. Featured alongside Ash are drummer Bruce Smith and bassist Paul Spencer Denman, veterans of Public Image Ltd./The Pop Group and Sade/Sweetback respectively. “I’m loving the positivity from the press,” beams Denman. “It’s reassuring because we really did think, in all modesty, that we had made something special.”
Garnering early praise from media outlets including Brooklyn Vegan, Stereogum, FLOOD, Classic Rock, Sonic Seducer, and dozens more, Ashes And Diamonds have made their mark right out of the gate. “The reaction to this album has been incredible,” adds Ash. “It’s just fabulous… BOOM!”
The fourth single to be released from the soon-to-be-released groundbreaking debut Ashes And Diamonds Are Forever, “On” moves the band into a darker, more serpentine direction, demonstrating not only how diverse the band is genre-wise, but also how musically masterful and adept they are. With Smith and Denman as the solid rhythm section, the song allows Ash to have his guitar tones ring loudly as his stirring and hushed vocals whisper seductively. “This song is about having an extreme passion for life/love,” Ash says. “It’s the antithesis of complacency… Go for it forever.”
“Daniel made a demo of the song originally, then Paul and I went to work with the arrangement,” explains Smith about the origin of the song, displaying the democratic balance of the band.
The previous rhythmic single, “Teenage Robots” which Geek Native calls “a blend of post-punk sensibilities, electronic textures, and a ‘sleazy pulse’ that has drawn comparisons to early Depeche Mode and Sisters of Mercy,” displays yet another side of Ashes And Diamonds. Where the initial single “On A Rocka” was a driving and adrenaline-infused banger and its follow-up “Setting Yourself Up For Love” was more of an introspective slowburner, “Teenage Robots” carries a pulsing, midnight dancefloor vibe. “’Teenage Robots’ is indicative of its time,” explains Denman. “It’s a message… a postcard from some older guys looking thru a lens and observing the fucked-up nature of what has become relevant to 20+ year-olds. It’s a warning. They, all of them, should throw away those fuckin’ phones and kick, push, and break down some walls like we did at their age.”
Its accompanying video, an animated retro futuristic view of youth hypnotized by the virtual activity on their smartphones while visceral life around them is ignored, is a cautionary alarm to return to the real world which Ash warns, “Get out of the city and get up into the middle of nowhere as often as possible, kids!”
The album AshesAnd Diamond Are Forever will be released viaCleopatra Records on October 31, 2025 and can be preordered HERE. It was produced by Ashes And Diamonds with some co-production with James Salter and Joe Dexter. It was mixed, engineered with additional production by Robert Adam Stevenson.
