Spotify’s new Storylines feature looks like Instagram Stories for musicians

Spotify is working to empower artists, and it’s coming after Instagram’s most popular feature along the way.

With over 100-million premium subscribers, Spotify is already the biggest streaming platform in music by a wide margin. That kind of lead allows the company to work on expanding other areas of its business, and that includes making the platform more social.

Now testing on iOS and Android devices, Spotify Storylines provide listeners with behind-the-scenes information about songs direct from artists. The information is presented like an Instagram Story, with a carousel of cards featuring a combination of text and images that you can tap through. Android Police notes that the feature is only available on a select number of songs right now, including Sucker by the Jonas Brothers, and a handful of songs by Billie Eilish.

Here’s a look at Storylines in action:

At the time of posting, Storylines are only available to The Jonas Brothers, and Billie Eilish, and not every mobile user can see the functionality. Spotify most likely approached the artists directly for their participation in the program, and as of right now, there are no public plans to roll the feature out to more talent.

That said, industry analysts have long predicted that Spotify would move into more social and editorial content. Storylines would give artists a direct line of communication to their listeners, and the possibilities that line presents are limitless. Artists can detail the story behind a song, promote a tour, promote recordings, or even provide steps to joining their official fan club.

In a statement, a spokesperson from the company said, “We are always testing new ways to create better experiences for more users,” but did not confirm when the feature would be released more broadly.

The Manager’s Role: What every artist and manager should know

Managers are known to play an essential role in developing an artist’s career, but what exactly is it that they do?

As an entertainment attorney, it is amazing what I see from the sidelines of the music business. I feel like it is hard to shock me anymore due to all the craziness that has come across my desk. We have all heard horror stories about record labels label that treats a band wrong. Yet what surprises me, is how frequently I consult with a band about a bad manager experience but I hardly hear about that in public. Entertainers think it is a quasi-parasitic relationship where they accept that they are getting used for profit, but they are getting the career benefit of label support. The sharp difference for when a manager does something wrong is that they are supposed to be on your team, so the entertainer almost never sees it coming. The hit hurts most when it comes from someone you trust. 

There is a fundamental lack of understanding of the roles and duties required of a manager  – even by practicing managers today. I would argue that very few are well versed in the legal relationship that is formed between them and their entertainers, not by contract, but virtue of fiduciary duty laws throughout the country. If the phrase fiduciary duty is new to you and you are managing or being managed someone right now, start Googling for more details but please read on. I want to be clear. There are lots of good managers who know what they are doing and operate ethically and legally. Its just that there are enough bad apples out there, that folks need to fully understand what is required of them or risk getting hurt.

What does a manager do? This is a fundamental question that is so very often answered incorrectly. A manager is akin to a CEO (Chief Executive Officer) or COO (Chief Operating Officer) of a corporation. An artist hires a manager to run their business for them much like Coca Cola hires executives to run their business. Thanks to their position, a manager often has unrestricted access to a band’s money and can legally make binding decisions for them. Due to the nature of extreme trust required, the law says that positions like this have higher duties and responsibilities placed on them. For example, they can do no harm, they cannot personally benefit from the relationship other than agreed compensation, they cannot put their interests above the band and they always have the duty of loyalty. 

As an example, I recently consulted with a very successful band whose manager was attempting to start a side business with them while remaining their manager. The manager and the band were going to get equal shares in a separate company they were forming. What is the big deal? Well, how is the manager looking out for his band’s best interests when his interest now competes with theirs as a partner? Who was now looking out for the band? Who would the manager have been loyal to in this situation? The conflicts are plenty and unfortunately so are situations like this one. 

In another example, I worked with a band that was leaving a management company. The manager made a compensation claim and without permission changed the band’s Tunecore password and took the money he thought he was owed from the band’s account. Eventually he returned the account minus the money, but it is hard to imagine a court anywhere that would not have called that illegal. It is conversion (theft) at a minimum and without a doubt it is a violation of almost every legal duty he had to the band. His management company was exposed to major liability. All it would have taken is an enterprising attorney to go after them.

For an artist, it is a VERY large leap of faith that the stranger they are hiring is a good and trust worthy person who is also qualified to do the job. So what does an artist do to make sure a manager is competent or worthy of their trust these days? It seems not much. Usually they tell me,  “the manager works for this big agency so we thought they must be good.” It is hard to imagine Coca Cola’s board of directors using such logic to hire such an important person without making sure they were trustworthy or qualified. 

If you are at the point of hiring someone, there is not one all-inclusive list that could tell you what makes a great manager. Often it is a combo of the experience, their education (formal or on-the-job) and a lot of times it is just the art of being a great manager. Many times, entertainers feel lucky that a manager is even interested in them, so they think this is a take it or leave it predicament. That attitude is dangerous. Bad deals are bad deals no matter who proposes them. Taking the time to understand who you are working with and what makes them qualified to do the job are key. Determining if they are trustworthy may be the difference between a career with longevity or one riddled with problems.  

What to look for in a manager:

Resume: Request a written resume to look over. Hiring someone who wants complete access to your life and at least 15% of everything you earn should be professional enough to have one. Look for valid work experience. Business education is a major plus. 

Maturity: It is VERY important to note that age does not determine maturity. I know and work with quite a few twenty-ish year old folks who are more mature than people in their forties. As an artist you want to be sure your manager is mature enough to check emotion and concentrate on business. Your manager is often your first point of contact for the rest of the world and you. You do not want childishness or foolishness for the face of your business.

Background Check: I recommend this all the time and no one does it. I cannot fathom working with someone who has access to all of the deepest recesses of my business without making sure they have a clean record. People do not do it because they think the manager will get offended. I say if they get offended maybe you should reconsider. This is a high position of trust. You need to be sure it is well placed. This is why Attorneys and Accountants are moving into the managing game so strongly like they did in sports. The Governmental agency’s that regulate them often have very strict background checks before they are given a license. They have to maintain that clean record. Any wrong doing on their parts and they risk losing that license. If you won’t do a background check, make your manager sign and swear in a document that he has never been accused, arrested or convicted of a crime dealing with fraud, dishonestly or truthfulness.  

Roster: Check out who they manage and maybe more importantly check out who they have managed. Ask for the manager’s alumni contact info so you can contact them and get a first hand account of his or hers performance. Anyone who won’t give you a full list and contact info is hiding something. There are always relationships that go sour so you won’t find one manager that is loved by everyone, but you will see patterns. Be fair in this assessment. One bad review is not enough to run, a couple though should raise an eyebrow.

Education/Experience: Education comes in many forms. So it is not reasonable to judge someone by how the obtained his or hers. What is important is what they know now. If someone is formally educated, that is a great start. Notice I said start. Look for business courses. Those are great building blocks. If someone doesn’t have a formal education, then the chronology and depth of their music business experience is vital. For example, tour manager is great stepping-stone position because they deal with the day-to-day business at the street level. A good tour manager is well versed in contracts, personal interactions, merchandising as well as the “it factor” of getting things done. 

Now I will offer a caveat here, there are tons of people who “manage” that are just starting out with no experience. This is a double-edged sword. If they are smart, motivated and have the ability to recognize that they don’t know everything, then you are on the right footing. If they do not possess all of the aforementioned traits, you may want to pass until they ripen a bit. They may do more harm than good.

Personality: This one is subjective. On the one hand, you want someone who is friendly and can counsel you through the ups and downs of a career. On the other, you want someone tough enough to represent your interest to third parties. It is tough to find someone who can do both well. This one is on you and what you feel matches best with you or your band. Just remember, this person is the business face of your brand; make sure he/she is a good reflection of your values and persona.

Manager Do’s and Don’ts:

Be a window – be transparent: Being transparent and telling your entertainer everything you are doing is the key to avoiding legal problems when it comes to your duty. If they know everything that is going on, the likely hood of someone finding you did something wrong is reduced significantly. You work for them. You owe them the duties of good faith and loyalty. 

Conflict of Interest: Do not put yourself in a position where you use your band for personal gain. If there is something you want to do that could possibly be a conflict disclose that to your entertainer in writing so they are on notice. They should have a say in the matter and you should come t a written agreement.

Confidentiality: You have the duty to keep the artist’s private dealings private. Seems logical, but too often I hear managers over talking about their band’s private dealings. It is an easy way to get sued.

Avoid Improper Compensation: It is too easy to cross the line here. You may have access to the bank account or the royalty checks come to your office and you can deposit them, etc. If the entertainer can afford it, higher a business manager. This is the best way to get your hands out of he money jar. You should only be getting paid what was agreed to. Your best friend is a contract. It will tell everyone how you are compensated and it is all out in the open.

Avoid Competition: It is really tempting to make money off your relationship with your entertainer. As they rise in notoriety the potential to make money off them or with them rises also. It is best to stick to your commission. If you get them better deals with more money, its stands that you are making more money. If you just have to do the deal, recuse yourself from the band for that deal, disclose the information and do not take any commission from the band’s portion of the earnings for this deal. Always put the above in writing.

STUDY: Learn everything you can about business law. Concentrate on agency law and fiduciary duty. Please remember ignorance of the law is never a defense in a lawsuit. You can’t just say I didn’t know. If you hold yourself out as a manager, you will be held to a manager standard. It is a high bar and one you do not want to take lightly.

Inside Music Podcast #159: Upon A Burning Body

Ruben Alvarez of Upon A Burning Body stops by the show to discuss ‘Southern Hostility’ and the ways your perspective on music can with age.

When Upon A Burning Body burst onto the international scene in 2010 they were heralded for delivering a crushing take on deathcore that combined unrelenting heaviness with a desire to have as much fun as possible. The Texas band sang about getting blackout drunk with their closest friends but also overcoming the things in life that held them down. Critics didn’t always get it, but the fans of the genre did, and the band continued to deliver similar material in the years that followed.

That is, until now.

Southern Hostility, Upon A Burning Body’s upcoming fourth studio album (out June 7 via Seek and Strike), finds the hard-partying antics of the group set aside in an attempt to showcase their metal chops. The band has doubled-down on their songs about surviving the struggle of existence, and in doing so the members have crafted what is undeniably their best work to date. Over the course of ten sizzling tracks, Upon A Burning Body aspires to inspire a generation of outliers to become more than they and their haters think is possible. They are, in their own unique way, trying to improve this often troublesome world.

On this episode of Inside Music, Upon A Burning Body co-founder and guitarist Ruben Alvarez stops by to discuss Southern Hostility at length. Ruben tells host James Shotwell about how changes in his and other band members’ personal lives has given the group a different perspective on life. He also talks about the decision to join Seek And Strike, moving out of the city, and growing older in an industry that praises youthfulness above all else.

VIDEO: How to promote your unreleased music

A smart marketing campaign may propel your next release into the spotlight, but you can’t get there without actionable data.

Music promotion is harder than it used to be, and it’s growing increasingly difficult with each passing day. The old method of compiling a list of contacts that artists then send a generic email to with a single link to Soundcloud or Dropbox page rarely produces results. Even worse, the results such efforts do produce are hard to quantify. Here’s an example:

Let’s say I have a new single to promote ahead of its official release. I upload the song to Soundcloud, set the stream to private, and then send the share link the service offers to 500 media contacts. After a few days, I check and discover the song has 250 plays. That information is good to know, but there are many questions Soundcloud cannot help me answer: Who listened to the song? How many times did they listen to the song? Did anyone start the track, but not finish it? And if so, who?

While the low cost of Soundcloud or Dropbox has long been attractive to artists on tight budgets, the use of such services requires talent to sacrifice the most valuable thing in promotion: Data

In this episode of Music Biz 101, host James Shotwell addresses the drawbacks to promoting music on Soundcloud and offers a low-cost alternative method of promotion that is used by everyone from Chance The Rapper to Metallica.

You shouldn’t use Soundcloud to promote unreleased music. Here’s why:

Getting people to listen to your new music is important, but knowing who is listening and how much of it they consume matters more.

Your next release is the most important thing that has happened in your career. Whether it’s your debut single or your third studio album, everything that has happened in your life lead up to this moment. The record you’re preparing to share with the world is incredibly special, but to reach a wide audience you will need help from influencers and tastemakers all over the world. Successful music promotion will play a pivotal role in determining what happens next in your life, and it’s important that you do everything in your power to market your materials to the best of your abilities.

The problem is, every other artist with a potentially life-changing release is also seeking help from the influencers and tastemakers of the world. There are far more artists releasing music today than there are people in a position to help artists get ahead, and that has increased the already high difficulty of being noticed (let alone covered). 

For many artists, Soundcloud and Dropbox are go-to promotional platforms. Both services are free and easy to use, which makes them ideal for cash-strapped talent with limited time. However, the simplicity of both services comes with a drawback that is increasingly placing artists who rely on those platforms at a disadvantage.

Soundcloud and Dropbox, as well as the numerous sites like them, may make it simple for anyone to upload tracks and share them using a private URL, but that one URL is more of a hindrance than a gift.

Let’s say you send your new release to 500 media contacts. You watch the streams rise on Soundcloud, and after a few days, you’ve accrued dozens of plays for your new material. That’s a great start to any promotional campaign, as it means people are actively engaging with the material. That’s where the good news stops, however, because the services mentioned above cannot tell you the data that matters, including who listened to your music and what songs they streamed (or downloaded). It can’t even tell you who opened the email, which means you have to keep contacting the same 500 people with generic messaging in hopes someone replies to express their interest.

That approach to marketing is incredibly passive and impersonal. You’re engaging with an audience you cannot properly identify, and because of that, your ability to connect with those who care about your music is limited.

Active marketing requires data, which is why more and more artists are turning to services such as Haulix for their promotional needs. Haulix not only tracks email performance, but it offers in-depth analytics that tells artists who is listening to their music and how they’re engaging with the material (streams vs downloads) in real time. The platform empowers artists to create personalized follow-ups that only people who care about the material being promoted, which allows for better relationships to be cultivated throughout the music business.

The Haulix activity feed

Haulix also outshines Soundcloud and Dropbox when it comes to presentation. Every single private stream on either service looks exactly the same, offering little to no opportunities for branding or customization. Haulix, on the other hand, encourages artists to create beautiful album promos that showcase the art and aesthetic that accompanies your latest release.

You can try Haulix for free today by signing up on the platform’s official website.

64 pop/indie Spotify playlists you should be pitching (and how to reach them)

Spotify playlists are shaping the future music business, but reaching the curators of the most influential lists is often incredibly difficult. That is, until now.

Playlists are the primary means of new music discovery for millions of people around the world, and Spotify is leading the charge. The streaming giant has many amazing playlists for every niche in music, and hundreds more are added with each passing day. A great playlist placement can change someone’s career, but all too often the contact information for influential curators is hard to find.

We’re here to help. With the assistance of several friends in the music business, we have uncovered more than sixty (sixty) influential pop and indie playlists that are actively helping artists at every level raise their profiles on a global scale. We’ve also found the people behind them, or at least, a means to contact those behind them, and we’re giving that information to you for free today.

Smart artists will recognize that this is not a perfect solution to pitching problems they currently face. There are thousands of artists working every day for increased exposure through Spotify playlists, and many of them will likely be reaching out to these same contacts in hopes of being noticed. We ran tips to help you stand out while playlist pitching last month, and we will run more in the months to come. Be professional, be engaging, and always be true to yourself. Let the curators know what makes you and your music unique.
