After reading this article by Gregory Douglass, I heard a
song by Alice Smith on the radio.
Alice Smith is a new name to me, and the DJ gave some interesting
background on her that included a 6-year wait after her record label decided
she didn’t have a single and therefore, didn’t release her record. So I went to her website and read her
bio which affirmed what the DJ had said.
Her new self-released record “She” is now available. Bottom line—her story is a good example
of what Gregory Douglass talks about in his article. Unless you are lucky enough to sign to an awesome record
label that does not take creative control and does not mold you into an artist
you are not, then the DIY route is your only option. But don’t dismay--read Gregory’s article. By the way, Alice is married to Citizen
Cope.
