Our community consists of major talents and top-notch artistry. However, when original quality music is posted, too often the rest of our community misses the opportunity to experience the phenomenal creativity of these artists and musicians. So, I present to you an initiative that will encourage music fans to actively search for our own Steemit musical sensations.
STEEMIT MUSIC REVIEW is an opportunity for the Steemit community to support our own musicians, artists, and bands. The objective is to dig for the latest music created by Steemians, then to write a music review.
This accomplishes 4 key aspirations for 'Steemit Music Review':
- Increasing the awareness and exposure of the latest songs.
- Increasing appreciation for the brilliance of our community.
- Increasing the support for the Steemit musical creatives with more potential fans or financially.
- Increasing the weekly rewards for music review contributors.
- Search for the latest songs produced/composed by Steemians.
- Write a detailed review of the song.
- Who's the artist(s)/musician(s)?
- What are the characteristics of the song?
- What is the song about?
- Why do you an affinity for the song?
- Which emotional responses do you get?
- What's your critique?
- Etcetera.
- Embed the song in the post if possible. If not, include a link/source to the song.
- If available, include a link to where we can purchase the song/album.
- Follow the instructions previously listed under "Mission".
- Upvote this post.
- Create a post with "Steemit Music Review" included in the title.
- For example, "Steemit Music Review | Artist Name - Song Title".
- Include the tag, 'musicreview'.
Weekly rewards will be distributed to exemplary posts that are well-thought-out and edifying to the community.
Currently, the top 3 posts will be rewarded:
3 SBD, 5 Whaleshares, and 5 Hairshares each.
As the music review contributions increase, the reward pool will increase accordingly.
Whaleshares and Hairshares are tokens that you can exchange for whale upvotes. To receive Whaleshares and Hairshares, a Bitshares account is required. If you don't have it yet, click here to register.
How NOT To Win Rewards
- A post with minimal words
- For example, no video and a sentence that reads, "The song is snow cool, I got chills listening to it" -- the pun is ice, but the post will snot be accepted.
- Opting to disregard the rules.
- Plagiarism.
- Reviewing your own songs.
How To Search For Original Songs
- If you're a musician/artists, include the tag, 'originalmusic', when posting your own original music. That said, music review contributors can search for original music under the tag 'originalmusic'.
- Search on the Steemit Music Alliance Discords, under the Music Post Promotion section. New fresh music is posted daily.
- Search for the latest submissions on DSound (@dsound). Or even DTube (@dtube).
- Search the tag, 'music'. This method requires additional searching to ensure the selected song is indeed created by Steemians.
- Or perhaps you're following them already!

This is soooooo freakin awesome! Full Support
Salute!
This is a really good idea, I hope you can find some participants and help grow the Steem music community
Thanks, @captaincanary. Still waiting on your music!
Great idea. I might even give it a try even though I'm not used to write reviews I written a lot about independent music.
Much appreciated. Writing about independent music is similar I think. Let me know when you've written a review!
Great initiative!! So many great initiatives coming out!!
I need to remind myself to do this, lol
Only if you're inclined to! I'm looking forward to reading a someone's review of your music!
This is a great idea. I've actually been working on a similiar proposal, because I was surprised by how much actually good music I've found so far on here and dsound especially, and most of them don't get any upvotes because they're new accounts. I've already got an article in the making. I would prefer not to rate the songs along a 10 point rating system though.
On second thought, you're right about the rating system. So I took it out!
That was exactly what I witnessed -- a lot of overlooked quality music. Looking forward to your article!
This is a beautiful idea, cannot wait to be discovering more artists and music.
Same here!
Great idea @scuzzy and implemented excellently 🎂🍦🍼🍭
Thanks, @possiblememes. For the community!
Super initiative!
I'm hoping initiatives like this will strengthen the community even more.
I'm sure it will! I'm looking out for the review posts! I like to rewards the good (undervalued) ones.
Hey @scuzzy I am a curator from the Whaleshares Curation Team. I have selected your post to be presented in a live curation discussion on Monday 12th February. Your post will be awarded with a 100 Whaleshares vote on the night. I do hope you can come along and spectate. The event will be held in The Curation Lounge on the Whaleshares server. Here's a link which explains things: https://steemit.com/steemit/@nikflossus/the-whaleshares-curation-show-featuring-djlethalskillz-monday-night
Thank you! Absolutely, as soon as I get off work, I'll be there...
Hello, your post was nominated for an upvote by a fellow within the Sndbox incubator. Thanks for sharing @scuzzy. Steem on :D
@sndbox, ya'll the best!
Love the idea! Takes the idea supporting among the community a step further! Totally appreciated!
One step at a time, as long as it is moving forward.
Yeah!! haha!! Dope!!!!
You already know!
Super idea, and will hopefully help to grow the musical community on the platform. :)
Yes, not only grow, but to support each other as well.
Yea bro... Such expansion
Building blocks!
You have been scouted by @promo-mentors. We are a community of new and veteran Steemians and we are always on the look out for promising authors.
I would like to invite you to our discord group https://discord.gg/vDPAFqb.
When you are there send me a message if you get lost! (My Discord name is the same as here on Steemit)
What a great contest for musicians! Upvoted :)
Thanks for the support!
Such a great idea. What a great way to support the community. I love all the animated gifs in your post :)
Those gifs are put there for you!
Great initiative ;) Keep up
this is an amazing idea @scuzzy 🙏 😎
Oh man am learning more and more abt Steemit. There's even whaleshares and hairshares now? 😣
What if we don't sign up to bitshares, any other way to get those if someone wins?
That's the only way @artgirl. Bitshares is fast and easy to setup and it's recommended for multiple reasons. You'll find it valuable to have an account, especially on Steemit.
Hmmm. Ok. Can the whaleshares and hairshares be converted to something else if the winning member does not have any Bitshares acct or would rather not sign up?
Unfortunately, I can't do that. That prize is listed as is. I'm sure you'll understand that if I make an exception for one, then I'll have to make an exception for all.
I see. Okay. :) Thanks for clearing it up!
Here is my next selection of DSound Gems/ Steemit Music Review. Takes some time to find the gems but they are there
