Song review! To do or not to do?Hello and welcome to the song review information page or what in fact is an assessment of your songs or your music. Should you do or shouln'd you ?. That's your question. Is it worth while to let your songs get reviewed before you adding them to your promotion demo ? Honestly, I should say yes. But only if you get a fair opinion , from a professional , and this for a fair price. Than I should say, do it. Why not. After all,recording your demo is a costly matter in comparison with the fee of a paid or even free song review. I surely find it very useful to know if a song is worth to be included on a promotion demo or not.Most of these services are provided by songwriter associations or songwriter guilds. You can find these Guilds and associations on the Internet, as usual. But,mostly you have to join them first(subscribe),only then you can get a song review or assessment of your music. Remember,even if you are a member, some still ask for a fee. OK, some are giving you a review for free, for what it's worth and some will give a song assessment, but for non-members , you need to pay extra. Let all this info settle down a little bit and then see if a song review is helpful for you...Like I said, I do think so..
