It’s About Connection

Those old enough to remember going to a record store and picking up an album will remember the special experience of taking the record home, playing it on a turntable and immersing yourself in the images and information provided on the cover, back cover, album sleeve, and, if you were lucky, special inserts with additional photos and information.

Through such experiences you were able to feel a connection to the creators of the album while you listened to the music. You heard the music differently when you were immersed in the content that accompanied the album.

Sadly, this means of connection between artists and listeners has all but disappeared.

A recent article published in Medium speaks of this lost experience:

The advent of streaming has changed the way a generation consumes music. When I was a teenager (I’m in my thirties), a new album release meant either a shady illegal download (those of my generation might remember a piece of software called LimeWire), which took ages and you could only listen on your slow, dial — up computer, or a trip to the local record shop to buy the CD. While lack of money meant sometimes the download was the only option, I always preferred the latter. I loved the ritual of buying a CD and flicking through the liner notes while listening to it from start to finish.

But now, with Web Albums and their rich audio-visual content, once again listening to music can be an active personally engaging experience.  You, the artist, can again connect with your listeners as they hear your music in the context of the informative and attractive material included in a Web Album.

What Features are Included in a Web Album?

In addition to the music Web Albums include:

• images and lyrics for each song
• profiles of musicians and other contributors
• an intuitive audio player
• a photo gallery
• a form to send direct messages to the artist(s) –  if they have given permission
