Using curator feedback
Turn curator feedback into actionable improvements for your music.
Why feedback matters
Curator feedback is one of the most valuable things you get from a pitching campaign. These are people who listen to hundreds of tracks a week and curate for real audiences. Their perspective can sharpen your next release.
Common feedback themes
Production quality
If multiple curators mention mixing or mastering, it's worth investing in a professional mix for your next release. This is the most common reason for declined placements.
Genre fit
If curators say your track didn't fit their playlist, it may mean the targeting needs adjustment. Share more specific genre references in your A&R notes next time.
Timing
Some curators pass because they recently added similar tracks. This isn't about quality. Try again with your next release, as their rotation changes.
Vocal or songwriting
Feedback on vocals or lyrics is personal but worth considering. If you hear the same note from 3+ curators, there's likely a real opportunity to improve.
Applying feedback
- Keep a running list of feedback themes across campaigns.
- Address the most common issues first. If 5 curators mention mixing, that's your priority.
- Use the A&R notes section to tell us what you changed for your next campaign. Our team will pitch your improvement story to curators.
- Run follow-up campaigns to curators who shortlisted you. They already liked your music.
