We’re very excited to announce the launch of our latest feature, hookblast.

Hookblast enables artists to bracket the hook (up to 45 seconds) in their songs to make it really easy for industry professionals to go straight to it. We believe this will mean more industry engagement due to a more satisfying listening experience for them. We think it will also increase the number of deals done via the site and the number of songs / acts selected for opportunities overall.

Check out the informal announcement below.
