How to Release Instrumental Music on Spotify

Everything independent producers should know before publishing instrumental tracks.

Quick Tip: Instrumental music has one big advantage—it can attract listeners without language barriers, making it easier to reach a global audience.

Many new producers think Spotify only works for vocal songs.

That's simply not true.

Lo-fi beats, cinematic music, meditation tracks, piano compositions and electronic instrumentals receive millions of streams every day.

If your production sounds professional, instrumental music can perform just as well as songs with vocals.
