The website began in 2007 and it allows unknown bands or musicians to get their music reviewed and rated by people, which could eventually lead to the artists being put forward for A&R opportunities or radio placement.
Most of the reviews go back to the artists to help them evaluate how their music is being perceived by music fans, which can provide some valuable insight into their music.
As a reviewer, you are offered payment for your reviews.
I believe that the artists pay Slicethepie a fee to get feedback and a wider listening audience for their music.
Ever heard of the phrase – starving artists?
This was typically a term coined for the art industry, where a lot of artists lived on next to nothing in pursuit of becoming a famous artist. But it can also apply to the music industry, given music can be thought of as art also, and there are a lot of starving musicians out there too.
So something to keep in mind when you provide reviews on the songs.
How does it work? As a reviewer/rater, you are given a selection of random songs by unknown artists to listen to.
The time that you spend listening to and reviewing and rating the artists is referred to as – session time.
They provide a timer of 90 seconds before you can submit a review to ensure the artists get fair air time. In my experience, you’ll need at least 90 seconds in order to make a fair assessment anyway.
So from there you’ll be required to do two things …
1) Provide a texted based review of the song where you might include your thoughts on the vocals, the instruments, the arrangement, the lyrics , and the melody. The more details you include in your reviews, the higher ranking you’ll get.
Higher rankings lead to more earnings per review.
