Abdulrazaq Aliyu (Sufiabdul)

He is a discipline of Sheikh Abdulahad the son of Sheikh Ibrahim Niasse who initiated him into the divine energetic order as his energetic mentor. From the end of year 2019 he starts to write his first book titled The Scientific Reality of Existence. His works are written based on Sufi universal scientific reality of existence which he says is nothing other than the reality of divine universal religions.

Abdulrazaq Aliyu is the website owner of abdulrazaqaliyu.wordpress.com and abdulrazaqaliyu.blogspot.com for his universal messages. His intimacy is awakening and aligning his being as well as the whole universal manifestations through the entanglement of the unique universal being (Al-insanu al-kamil) in the energy hierarchies of potentiality through his unique quantum poleship (Qutbaniyyah, Khilafah) by the will of the the grand universal energy (Allah/God).

A press release for The Scientific Reality of Existence

noreply@blogger.com (TJOD Entertainment) — Thu, 7 May 2020 15:41:00 -0700

Abdulrazaq Aliyu (Sufiabdul)

This book is a book for our energetic/spiritual discipline, which by the will of our inner essential reality (Allah) we will perceive and know that the whole universe is a scientific reality of a single absolute existent being. All of existence is nothing but a holographic reflection, shadow and imaginative modeling of the absolute fundamental substance and the grand universal energy (Allah/God), regardless of the different names we may call this same unique reality.
In this book through the will of our real being within, we will entirely change the notion of ourselves as well as of everything, we will also know that we are a divine self-manifestation, and whatever we wish, we will manifest it through our inner reflection & refraction and imagination. Because everything is divine energy and the whole universe is essentially an infinite ocean of divine energy/nur respect to its absolute essential self. There is nothing in existence, there is no action or reaction but this One (Wahid) and Unique (Ahad) being named Allah/God who is the absolute essential reality everything and the grand universal energy.
We will know that each unit of cell of our being is a complete integral part of the whole universal levels of manifestation which are the grand five divine presences, or to say the reality of each cell is a complete Qur'an (universal unit), its potential reality is "b/ب" of "Bismillah" and its cellular level is "s/س" of "Mina al-jinnati wa al-nas". That is all the metaphysical planes of heavens and paradises, kursy, Al-arsh, Al-rahman and the initial essential divine presence are microcosmically the integrated units of energy in each of our cellular composition, and their farther macrocosmic phases is their levels of extension. The heavens are respectively the intrinsic transcendental hierarchical levels of the cellular plane, DNA plane, molecular plane, atomic plane, and the subatomic or elementary planes which is where the planes of paradises are, all these are manifested/inflated from the quantum energy/nur of Malakut. The essential Malakut (quantum energy) is the prior state before the Big Bang inflation that we scientifically knew about.
In this book we will know the four different universal Big Bangs (i.e the divine presences of disclosures), and each Big Bang has different levels of manifestation, descent or revelation (Risalah) within it. These Big Bangs are the Lahut (vibratory grand universal energy level and the vibratory grand energy string level), Jabarut (grand quantum energy level), Malakut (quantum level) and Nasut (material level) respectively in the descending unit/phase. The divine presence of Hahut is the universal absolute essence which is the un-manifest or enclosed essence (i.e energy level prior to vibration at absolute rest), it is the absolute essence of Allah/God prior to all manifestation. Hahut along with its four disclosed levels of Big Bang (Lahut, Jabarut, Malakut, Nasut) are in total the grand five divine presences. Malakut, Jabarut, Lahut and Hahut are the truth presences of our becoming. That is Malakut is the reality of Nasut, Jabarut is the reality of Malakut, Lahut is the reality of Jabarut, and finally Hahut is the reality of Lahut as well as the absolute, initial and the unique essence of the whole universe (i.e the unique essence of Allah/God).

How to Share New Music for Playlist Consideration in Spotify

noreply@blogger.com (TJOD Entertainment) — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 07:13:00 -0800

Share New Music for Playlist Consideration

Spotify new beta feature gives artists, labels and teams an easy way to submit unreleased music directly to their editorial team for playlist consideration.

At Spotify, their goal is to match every listener with the perfect music for them. That’s why Spotify have a team of over 100 editors around the world — music experts and cultural ambassadors whose job is to spread the joy of music discovery everywhere from Brazil to Japan to Turkey. Today, Spotify introducing a beta feature as part of Spotify for Artists and Spotify Analytics designed to make it easier for artists and labels to share unreleased music with this team — so their editors can create better playlists and artists have a better shot at landing on one.

Everyone, whether you’re an artist, label, manager or part of an artist’s team, can try out this feature. Simply log into your Spotify for Artists account or, if you work at a label, head over to Spotify Analytics. There, you’ll have the option of selecting one unreleased song for playlist consideration and submitting it to their team.

It’s important to give Spotify as much information about the track as possible — genre, mood, and other data points all help them make decisions about where it may fit. You can note the instruments on it, whether it’s a cover, and the cultures you or the song belong to. The data you share will be complemented by what they already know about you — what else your fans listen to, what other playlists you’ve appeared on, etc.

Editors will be searching through submissions based on the information you share to find unreleased music to consider for their playlists. The song and all the info you add about it will also impact their personalized recommendations. For example, as long as you tag and submit your track seven days in advance, the song you select will automatically appear in every one of your followers’ Release Radar playlists. This way you have control over which single you’re promoting to your fans.

We want to make something crystal clear: no one can pay to be added to one of Spotify’s editorial playlists. Spotify editors pick tracks with listeners in mind. They make these decisions using data about what’s resonating most with their community of listeners.

Beta means this is the first step. With more than 75,000 artists featured on editorial playlists each week, and another 150,000 on Discover Weekly, Spotify know how important it is to get this right. Spotify continue evolving this feature based on your feedback, so artists, labels, managers and partners can all help them create better playlists for Spotify listeners.

Shazam in Apple Music for Artists

noreply@blogger.com (TJOD Entertainment) — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 06:14:00 -0800

Shazam in Apple Music for Artists

Shazam is now a part of the Apple Music family!

What is a Shazam?

People use Shazam to listen to songs for the purpose of identifying what song is playing. Shazams are recorded anytime your song is recognized by the Shazam app or one of the partner apps that use Shazam technology. Shazam data is currently available in Apple Music for Artists, throughout the web and app experience.

When does a Shazam count toward my songs?

Whenever a Shazam has been recorded for one of your songs, you will see it counted as a Shazam in your Apple Music for Artists profile.

Because Shazam listens to a portion of audio from a song in order to recognize it, there may be times when the portion of audio being listened to happens to be identical to a portion of audio from a different version of the same song. For example, an original version of a song and a remix version of that same song, often include some portions of audio that are exactly the same. In these cases, the Shazam will count toward the version of your song that is determined to be the best match, which is why you may see variations in the number of Shazams across different versions of the same tracks.

What is a single track release

noreply@blogger.com (TJOD Entertainment) — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 04:48:00 -0800

How platforms like Spotify and Apple Music define a “single.”

A brief history of the single

As the oldest format for distributing recorded music, the single is something of music industry royalty. To review what we discussed in our look at the EP, the single was the only format for the first 50 years of recorded music, first sold on wax cylinders and brittle shellac discs and eventually on sturdier vinyl. This was simply out of necessity, as early disc-cutting technology and the limitations of the formats on which they cut music prevented more than one song per side.

It was the rock revolution of the 1950s that solidified the 45 rpm (revolutions per minute), 7-inch single’s status in music history. After the format’s introduction by RCA Victor in 1949, the quickly emerging teenager demographic began snapping up 45s at a steady clip due to their portability, pushing megahits like Bill Haley and the Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock” to millions of sales. One of the most enduring images of the ‘50s is a group of teens huddled around a portable RCA record player, listening to the era’s latest rock hit.

The LP arrives

After the introduction of longer vinyl formats like the extended playing (EP) 10-inch and eventually the long playing (LP) 12-inch record, the good ol’ 45 rpm single remained the format of choice for both new artists looking to release their first few songs, and for established artists to submit their hits to radio stations. The Beatles, Rolling Stones and the rest of the British Invasion bands all introduced themselves to the music world on 45 rpm singles.

Even after music went digital with CDs, indie artists used the 45 to launch their careers. In 1988 a Seattle garage band called Nirvana released their debut single “Love Buzz” (a cover originally recorded by Dutch band Shocking Blue) on humble hometown label Sub Pop’s new Singles Club series. Just three years later their sophomore album Nevermind catapulted the trio to superstardom. And even after the MP3 began its rise in the late ‘90s, bands like the White Stripes chose to release their first recordings on 7-inch singles.

The single in the digital age

But now that the music industry is almost entirely digital and most revenue is coming from sources like streaming and downloads, what even constitutes a single anymore? Isn’t the term just an antiquated holdover from a bygone era? Not quite!

In the digital age, the single is reclaiming its status as the dominant format. As music consumption has shifted towards streaming, releases have gotten shorter and shorter, with some artists treating albums as an afterthought or eschewing them altogether. Artists are no longer required to release just one or two singles in advance of a big album release. Billie Eilish released more than 15 singles before her 2019 debut album When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (She even released “Party Favor” on 7-inch vinyl!)

Why are artists reverting to a release model from 70 years ago? In a 2018 Rolling Stone article titled “Why Your Favorite Artist Is Releasing More Singles Than Ever,” Warner Bros. exec Larry Mattera explains that listeners’ time is the most important commodity in the age of streaming. When listeners have infinite options and attention spans continue to shorten, releases shorten to match. A steady stream of 10 or 15 singles over a few years keeps an artist in their fans’ minds much more efficiently than one big album release with the same amount of songs.

What is a single now?

But what even is a single in this new world of on-demand music? Much like the “extended play” EP, the name has been misleading over the years. In the analog days, a 7-inch single record was rarely a single song. There are two sides to vinyl, so the main song would go on the A-side and the B-side would be a sort of “anything goes” spot. Sometimes it would be a cover the band recorded that didn’t have a place anywhere else, or maybe a live version of one of their previous hits. To this day, the term “B-side” refers to a song of lesser importance than the rest of an artist’s discography.

Nowadays, major streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify determine what constitutes a single. But their designations aren’t that much different from each other and really aren’t that much different from what a single was in the ‘50s:

On Apple Music and iTunes

Releases that meet the requirements below will automatically have “- Single” inserted in the release title within Apple Music and iTunes Store.

The release is one to three (1-3) tracks.
The entire release is 30 minutes or less and all individual tracks are less than 10 minutes.

On Spotify

Your music will be classified under the “Singles and EPs” category if:

The release is under 30 minutes.
The release has three (3) or fewer tracks.

Why should I release a single?

Singles are quickly taking back their spot as the major format in modern music. This reason alone is enough to inspire new artists to release a standalone song or two. But what about experienced artists? Or artists who have been away for a while? There are reasons for them and all other artists to release singles.

And if you’re set on distributing a single and are looking for release strategies, we’ve got you covered there too.

Why should I release a single?

And if you’re set on distributing a single and are looking for release strategies, we’ve got you covered there too.

Why new musicians must first put out a single

noreply@blogger.com (TJOD Entertainment) — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 01:21:00 -0800

If you’ve never released music before, you have to start with a single song.

Artists at the major label level usually put out a single first, unless they’re dropping one of those “secret” overnight albums. The lead single rallies the fans, gets press talking, and builds energy for playlists or radio.

Here’s why releasing a single is essential for brand new artists too.

The reasons listed above MIGHT apply to new artists, especially since a single can serve as a lower-cost introduction to both fans and the music industry. In areas of the biz where you benefit from a few early champions, a single gives new artists a way to demonstrate “market viability.” Basically, does your music have appeal? Is it working for a particular audience? You can prove it with a single.
Go here to find out how streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music define a single based on track count and length.

But there’s an even more foundational reason to begin your music career by releasing a single: You need music on digital platforms in order to claim your profiles.

Many of the big digital music platforms will give you access to an account dashboard where you can customize your artist profile, view analytics, and possibly take advantage of promo features.
However, those promo features are unavailable until you have music on the streaming services. You want to release your debut single, establish a presence on streaming platforms, and then be in a position to use their tools to promote your more important followup release (whether it’s a single, EP, or LP).

Your music can gain more traction on streaming platforms when you use:

But until you release something, you can’t get in there to claim your accounts or DO anything on those platforms.
Once you have music out there, TJOD Entertainment can help you get instantly verified on Spotify for Artists and Apple Music for Artiststhrough getting your music to the music distribution company like CD Baby, etc.

Artist promo features offered by digital music services

Here’s just a few specific examples of what I’m talking about above:

Pandora AMP has a voice messaging tool where you can talk to your listeners before or after they hear one of your songs, tell them about important news, and link them somewhere. Very cool. And totally worthless until you have music on Pandora.
Apple Music for Artists gives you engagement stats and interesting milestones for your streaming activity.
You can also view Shazam activity with Apple Music for Artists, so be sure to get verified as an artist on Apple Music.
Spotify lets you customize your artist profile, integrate your concert calendar, build a following, and even submit songs to their editorial team for playlist consideration. All cool features. And impossible to use if you don’t have at least one song on Spotify.
On the topic of Spotify, once you’ve released your first single on the platform, claimed your Spotify for Artists account, and built a following, each followup release is guaranteed placement on the Release Radar playlist of EVERY ONE of your followers (as long as you go through Spotify’s direct playlist submission process for each subsequent single or album).
Similarly, you can’t do a pre-save campaign for new music until you’ve established a presence on Spotify.
With a YouTube Official Artist Channel, all your content on the platform can be managed in one place, making it easier for you to control your brand and manage your fan community on YouTube.

Start with one song. Plant your flag. Grow from there.

The strategy is simple: As a new artist you should start by getting one song out there into the world. Claim your accounts. Then use all the tools available to promote your followup releases.
Read up on what OTHER kinds of artists should be releasing singles too.
