Many artists get really excited about a new music project or
track. Most artists decide to release music before it is reviewed by others or
critiqued by people who are in the industry. It is very interesting to see the
outcome after the project is released and their not getting the amount of plays
they thought they would. The marketing is good its being pushed but there is
something about the content that doesn’t relate to the audience. Artists need
to keep a creative focus on their music projects.
If you are going to start a project it needs structure and
purpose. There is more than putting together a hot beat and dope lyrics. The
music must have purpose and drive the fans to wanna play the song over and over
again. Many artists get caught up in making one hit wonders or that good
summertime song and soon find them back at square one. This is because the
projects that they have worked on didn’t have a focus. In order to have purpose
you have to have meaning to what you are putting out. Songs like the new
Macklemore song “Thrift Shop” has purpose. It gives listeners something to
think about. Buying a $50.00 T-Shirt is insane when you can get one for $10 at
the Thrift Store.
According to Music-Biz.org there are 5 steps that artists
should take in making their music. Believe, energy, courage, will power and
serenity. The article states that artist should make a habit of keeping your
mind full of reassurance, courage, happiness, success, achievement, enthusiasm,
and retribution. This is important because it keeps the artist focused on the
project in its entirety. According to the article the artist’s purpose is
similar to a road map. You can see the entire route in one page except to
experience the places on the map you have to believe you can get there.
Stay focused!
