After covering the headlines, we shift into the Artist Development Tip of the Day. This week focuses on how artists gain a real advantage by uploading and syncing their lyrics correctly. We explain how platforms like Musixmatch, Genius, LyricFind, and time synced LRC uploads help artists show up accurately on Spotify, Instagram, Apple Music, and other major platforms. This helps engagement, visibility, and royalty reporting. We break down what each platform does and why clean metadata matters for every release.
