I want to believe this isn't a scam --
Meg, from SoundHype, reached out to me in early November, following the release of my latest song.
She, personally, took the time to listen to my song, and watch the YouTube video made for it, pointing out references to other content (which were actually the inspirations behind mine).
The team at Soundhype set up an artist landing page for me to collect email signups (which I tested, and it worked) to be used throughout their promotion.
After filling out the campaign form, and listing my genre and comparable artists, Meg personally validated my choices, as she knew some of the listed artists' songs.
Upon payment, she reached out again, letting me know the payment went through, and made sure I was okay with the campaign timeline.
I was told I'd hear back from the team, with reports of the campaign's success sometime around Nov. 22.
It is now December 1st; (I am an artist on AWAL, so I can track things like: TikToks made using my song) there have been no TikToks made — which is supposed to be part of the campaign. My song has not been added to any playlists (outside of ones I personally sought out myself).
I reached out, and haven't heard anything. I checked their website, and it's down, as are all associated links (like my artist landing page). This is a bad sign, BUT, considering the teams' emails are associated with the domain name, it could also explain why I haven't heard back from them.
I really want to like SoundHype — assuming this isn't a scam, I'd come back for future releases LOL. I feel like they've put in too much effort to just take my money and run. I know, when having to manage TikTokers and Spotify playlisters, these things can take longer than expected. A turnaround time of 3 weeks already seemed unlikely -- especially considering they do this for multiple artists. I'm going to continue to be patient, and HOPE their website is a technical mishap, not a scamming mishap, and when/if it comes back online, I'll hear from them.
I will update this review in the future!
Right now, 3 stars because there are suspicious signs. This could change to 5 stars, but it could also change to 1 star. Time will tell ◡̈
