In a traditional album release, all the songs would be released at the same time. With a waterfall release, artists can choose to release each track of their album at different times with previous tracks, creating a &#8220;waterfall&#8221; effect of new content over a period of weeks or months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a blog post by Spotify, the purpose of the waterfall release is to help artists build momentum for their album release and engage with fans over a longer period of time. With this feature, artists can release a single or a few songs in advance of the album, allowing fans to get a taste of what&#8217;s to come and creating excitement for the full release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Tips for a Successful Waterfall Release<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When doing a waterfall release strategy, there are a few things you should do to make it as successful as possible. The first thing you should do is craft a release schedule. You should consider <em>marketing assets<\/em>, <em>the order in which the records are released<\/em>,<em> and advertising campaigns for each<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to tap into Spotify tools to make the most of each release. You can create a unique <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/canvas.spotify.com\/en-us\">Canvas<\/a><\/strong> for each song on Spotify and create a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/artists.spotify.com\/en\/blog\/spotify-clips-get-started-short-form-video-stream-on\">Clip<\/a><\/strong> based on your new track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For Label Engine users, follow these steps if you are interested in doing a waterfall release on Spotify:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Submit your first track off of your album\/ep. We\u2019ll call this track A.<\/li><li>When ready to distribute the second release, use the \u2018Copy Release\u2019 function.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Search for your first track of the release (A).<\/li><li>Select track A. Since you are copying the track, the metadata, wav file, and the ISRC will also be copied over.<\/li><li>Upload your new track with the newly copied release. We\u2019ll call this track B.<\/li><li>Now when track B is released, it will be packaged as<em> B+A<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>When ready to distribute the rest of the ep\/album, repeat the steps listed above, copying the previous tracks. We will call the remaining tracks C.<\/li><li>When C is released, it will be packaged together as <em>C+B+A.<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you have any questions about doing a Spotify Waterfall Release, feel free to reach out to a team member or email support@label-engine.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify Waterfall Release Strategy Spotify waterfall release is a feature offered by Spotify that allows artists and labels to stagger the release of their music over time.
