And like that we have been welcomed into December '22 with a fresh slate of new releases from an array of artists. Some say you shouldn’t release in the 4th quarter because you need a “proper” rollout. Others say not to drop in December because a majority of your audience or potential supporters are distracted and involved with so many other things this time of year. To be honest — make sure you’re doing what your internal compass is guiding you to do.
