Album Submissions

Question:

I already have my CD manufactured, how do I add it to GospelReggae.com?

Answer:

INTRODUCTION: Thank you for your interest in selling your product on GospelReggae.com, a division of Lion of Zion Entertainment. GospelReggae.com supplies the world's largest selection of Gospel Reggae music. We are constantly searching for new titles to add to our selection. The people of the World are hungry for this music. We'd like to help you reach a broader audience and get your music out to the masses. GENRES ACCEPTED Firstly, as the name states GospelReggae.com mainly accepts Gospel (Christian) Reggae albums. We do not accept albums that are not Christian. If your album is not Gospel Reggae it is very unlikely we will actually accept your music. The exception to this is Gospel (Christian) Hip-Hop that we can accept on an album basis. Please note that we do listen to all albums submitted to GospelReggae.com and we don't return CDs sent to us which are not deemed acceptable. Therefore, please contact us before sending us any albums! PREPARING YOUR ALBUM FOR SUBMISSION Before you send us your manufactured CD, please note that we do receive some albums which do not contain artwork, on-body CD art and they are even missing the track listing etc... Please make sure that all albums are as follows: <ol><li>Artwork - This is extremely important. The artwork is often a fan's first impression and could be the difference between your album selling or not! Good artwork should captivate you, pique your interest and keep your attention. A proper album cover should be timeless and look good from across the room (or as a one inch jpeg), yet still be beautiful up close. Make sure your artist name and album title is clearly visible on the album cover. Also, pay attention to details - correct spelling and grammar is important! </li><li>Mastering - Your music must be professionally mastered, including EQ, Compression and Volume Maximization. Your music could be great, but professionally mastering could be the difference to good songs and a great sounding album!Â </li></ol>As we know that sometimes it can be extremely expensive to hire a professional to create artwork or master your album, GospelReggae.com created GR Designs to help you with this. For more information, please visit: <a href="http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=97723954&blogId=490880462"; target="_blank">GR Designs</a> Once you have the album manufactured, you are ready to submit the album to GospelReggae.com. SUBMITTING YOUR ALBUM TO GOSPELREGGAE.COM Once your album is ready, please contact us! You won't believe how many albums we receive from artists that we don't even know how to contact!
