We believe every song deserves its own moment.
With listening parties, only presale eligible collectors can listen to the song before the public sale, creating a layer of exclusivity for an artist’s biggest fans.

Kurt Stevens Veterans Day Drop
“My Great Grandfather was a fire chief on the USS Ticonderoga during WWII, and both my grandfather's fought in Korea. Hearing their stories and the stories of close friends that have fought for our country have left me with a deep respect for those who serve.
With this in mind, I set out to write a patriotic song that could bring people together in support of those who risk their lives to protect our country and our freedoms. In these times of war abroad and division at home, I felt that we as a nation could use a non-partisan song to pay tribute to those currently serving and our Veterans. This is the inspiration behind "Cost of Freedom".
As my way of giving back to those who inspired this song, I have pledged 50% of streaming and music video royalties to be donated to charities that benefit our Veterans.”
Collect “Cost of Freedom” here.
Featured Playlist
Curators on Sound can earn up to 5% on collects from playlists.
This week, we reached out to Sapo to learn more about “Soul Food 😌.”
“Curation to me is about context. Since going record hunting as a kid with my father for our family-run radio station, I’ve always found that music can have a big impact when it is thought of as part of a bigger narrative. Context is a dynamic landscape, it shifts with the mood, the setting, the company and the moment.
I love making playlists because the right playlist can take you on a journey that can augment any moment. It’s a very personal experience where each song plays a role in a larger story, orchestrating emotions, and both recalling and creating memories.”
