As an independent artist, one of the biggest questions you’ll face is: how often should you release music? In today’s music industry, consistency is key — but so is quality. With streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube rewarding regular releases, many indie musicians wonder if they should be dropping new singles every few weeks, putting out an EP every few months, or saving up for a full album once a year.

In this episode, we break down how to find the right release schedule for your career. We talk about how the Spotify algorithm responds to consistent releases, how often fans expect to hear new songs, and why your personal goals as an artist should guide your music release strategy. Whether you’re trying to grow your audience, keep fans engaged, or build momentum for a bigger project, this conversation will help you strike the right balance between quantity and quality.
