This is terrible. But I can't tell if it's terrible/interesting like a great artist's very early sketches, or it's just utter shit like Pablo Picasso's later sketches...

These sorts of emails are becoming more frequent...

Hey Grim17,

I just wanted to check if you had a chance to see my previous email. I've been listening to your music, and I truly believe that, with our team and network, we can give it the exposure it deserves and make sure it reaches the right audience.

With our artists, we work with 100% legitimate playlists, carefully curated for each genre. This ensures that your music reaches real listeners who can later become your potential fans.

I'd love to create a Custom Campaign tailored to your needs with our team. We can also set up a call if you'd like to get to know us and share your goals. Does it sound good to go over your plans?

It would be great to work together in the long run. I’d be happy to share more details.

Looking forward to your response!

Hi Grim17,

I discovered your song "Good Grief" recently, and fits perfectly in our Spotify playlist network.

We are trusted by big companies and artists like Universal, OneRPM, Zil Global, SnoopDogg, Cheat Codes, Tiesto and many more.

Reply to this email and let's start working together.

Michael,
I have no money. Like, I don't even mean that hyperbolically, I have enough money to feed and house myself and my family, and I wouldn't even qualify for a loan or credit card.
I appreciate you listening to my music, and being inspired to contact me, but I fear you may be slithering up the wrong trouserleg, if you're expecting to find any naive genitals to milk...
