Malaysian Music Review Websites Directory

July 30, 2019 by azsamadlessons Leave a Comment

Photo I took at Jumero & Darren Ashley’s album launch (they are super cool, check out their music!)

TLDR: This is a directory. If you’re a musician, please submit your music to the reviewers & websites listed here directly.

//////

Are you a Malaysian musician or musician based in Malaysia?
Have you released music (singles, albums, EPs) or perform your own music?

Well you’re in the right place.

I wrote a tweet and asked 4 questions:

Do you write reviews of local Malaysian music? (singles, albums, EPs, shows, concerts)

If you do, please reply to this tweet with:
1) Your name
2) Website link
3) Styles of music covered
4) Contact info

I would love to FEATURE YOU on a blog post to help more people find you!

I did this because I found that:
1) It was hard to find critical reviews of music albums and singles for Malaysian music, especially beyond the mainstream
2) Musicians could benefit from a resource like this blog post

So I did it & here’s the post you’re reading now.

For artists, I hope this will help get your music out to more audiences.

For reviewers, I hope this will help connect you to even more interesting music being recorded & released.

An unsolicited word of advice:
Please write clearly & politely to these websites & reviewers. What they do can help you get your music to more people. In return, courtesy and professional messages are often the best way to create a good impression (and increase the chance of your music getting reviewed.

All the best! 🙂
