A Message from Tania:
"Dear fans and supporters,
I would like to share with you why 'Rhythmic Movement' is available only on Gumroad.com and CD Baby and why I am also releasing this album on my record label Tania Stavreva Music LLC. Due to the way most record labels, streaming and distribution companies are treating artists nowadays, I have decided to release my album on my own record company. When you purchase the CD or digital album here (redirecting you to Gumroad.com or CD Baby), you basically directly support me. Record deals such as %55, %75 or even %90 cut taken from sales from the artists and etc. are not fair. Streaming pays around $0.007 per stream....and so that is why you will not find this album on Spotify, Apple Play etc. The Recording Academy NARAS (The Grammys®) has been doing a lot of advocacy to try to change laws in order for recording artists to get paid more fairly for streaming. As a member of the Academy, I am supporting their advocacy. So, for now I have been advised by renown colleagues who have been 20+ years in the recording business, on several different labels and etc., that actually releasing "Rhythmic Movement" independently, is the best way to go. If I get a decent deal from a label, which is serious about working with me, I will consider it but for now, most labels seem to ask artists to pay out of pocket to record, engineer, master their recordings + extra money for promotion as well as on top of all of that they take between %60-%90 from the sales! To be honest, this is unbelievable and it should not be acceptable!
So Gumroad.com takes only 3.5% from sales which is reasonable, so that is why my album is connected to this platform. CD Baby takes $4 per CD sale, that;s why my album is more expensive there (to cover the costs for their cut). So, you can either buy the CD for $15 on Gumroad.com or for $19.99 on CD Baby. Digital album is available also on Gumroad.com and CD Baby (it is more expensive on CD Baby because their cut from sales is bigger than Gumroad's).
I hope that you could share my music and this very special to my heart album with your friends and families. Please, feel free to post links and info about it on your social networks and spread the word. The music in Rhythmic Movement has a lot of excitement, a lot of rhythmic, melodic and dynamic energy which gives it a very youthful feel, reflecting my spirit, current state of mind and where I am in my life as an artist. Rhythmic Movement to me is also like a power of bright colors that bring joy, excitement and positive energy. Lately I like being surrounded by music that can give me this, which then I can give to you. This album is all for you! I love you from the bottom of my heart and thank you endlessly for your constant support which means a lot to me. It means so much that words are hard to describe it! <3
Musically yours,
Tania "
