Let me start by saying that I am a pop artist that has been focused on growing an organic fan base over the last year. I have been releasing 1 new song every 5 weeks so that I am always pushing out content and feeding the Spotify algorithm. With each new release, I promote the song for 5 weeks. I use Instagram Ads, Facebook Ads, and playlist pitching (SubmitHub and Groover). I have grown my IG from 500 to over 3k. I average at least 10k monthly listeners on Spotify and have over 200k total streams across 12 releases. I am even starting to grow at a steady pace on Apple Music just off of my ads campaign. So I'm not HUGE or anything, but I would consider myself as starting to become established. My music has high quality mixing, high quality production (I hire a professional producer on SoundBetter), and is professionally mastered. So, naturally, my music has a professional feel to it and it is something I'm proud of. So why then, does Groover troll me? Let me explain.
Initially, I really liked Groover, mostly because it has a HUGE curator base. But after using Groover for over 1 year, I am finally convinced that 90% of the curators on this site are just trying to get paid. Why do I say this? Because, although my music sounds "professional and on par with the industry standard," my song is almost NEVER added to playlists on Groover. Let me show you some screenshots:
Keep in mind that this song is a Pop Ballad with a Rap in Verse 2. So it's a Pop/Rap song with like a Marshmello type beat. It sounds very similar to something Juice Wrld, The Kid Laroi, JB, Post Malone or Halsey might put out. It is a sad song about how hard it is to let someone go with a very catchy hook, and again professionally mixed, mastered, lined up, and produced. All of these curators proceed to tell me the exact same thing. Then tell me that it's not a fit for their playlist. I go to their playlist and guess who's on their playlists. Juice Wrld, Post, Kid, JB, etc. It's honestly all a load of crap. "Your song is AMAZING, well produced, sounds professional, but we aren't gonna add it. Thanks send us your next track." This has been my experience with Groover for the last year. So for those of you out there who are trying to get your music out there, just be very careful here. In my opinion, the owner of the site needs to clean this up. I have already spent THOUSANDS of dollars on this website, and yet I get WAY better exposure just running my own ads.
