During the holiday season, we experience higher-than-usual volumes, so please plan your release well in advance.
We recommend that artists carefully review all release details—including artist name, track titles, cover art, and release date—to avoid any delays, as response times may be slower during this busy time. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
