As I searched for my first website to review, I happily stumbled upon SongwriterUniverse, a site I had briefly looked over a little while ago. I really do not know why I have not been visiting this site more often because it is amazing! It has everything a new songwriter could need or want, all in one place. The homepage is laid out in a colorful way that brings you in and is up to date. I like how the homepage has archived and recent articles on it and I enjoy the idea that they have stories and articles right up front of established songwriters from when they were first discovered! They have a link right in the middle called Inside SongwriterUniverse Magazine that lures you right into them and they had a best song of the month contest going on when I last visited that naturally as a songwriter you’re going to want to check out and listen.
They have a number of tabs with sub links on the very top of the website that are truly very helpful such as resources, which had title links varying from a list of music publishing companies to collecting your royalties. Another favorite tab of mine was Song Evaluation/Consultations, which was a very unique feature but extremely beneficial for a new songwriter and/or artists because one can submit a certain amount of songs or lyrics for a price and receive “comprehensive” evaluations and feedback from top veteran A&R and music publishers from the site before one goes out and spends so much money on recording any of these tracks.
I saw plenty of music related ads including one for Full Sail’s Music Business online degree! The whole site is dedicated to the songwriter so it was great to see links to other sites advertised that one could upload their music to and the site made it very clear how to follow them on social media sites such as Facebook and to contact them for any questions one may have. Overall I will give this site a honest A because even I will find this website useful in my own progression as a songwriter and I am inspired by the stories and articles from the past and present of some of my favorite songwriters in the industry. SongwriterUniverse really does empower the songwriter as its motto states on the site!
