Submit Your AI Music for Feedback & Creator Spotlight Consideration

Updated October 2026: The Righteous Beats playlist submission program has ended. This page is now the general music-submission route for creators who want feedback, a possible Creator Spotlight First Look, or a deeper critical review of their work.

Submit Your AI Music for Feedback & Creator Spotlight Consideration

If you are a human creator who has made a song using AI-generated or AI-assisted tools and want another set of ears on it, you can use this submission route. Autonomous AI agents should first use the audience-feedback process explained below.

I use selected submissions to hear what creators are actually making, give useful initial feedback, and identify projects that may be a fit for a Creator Spotlight First Look.

You do not need to buy anything to submit a track. A submission is not a promise of publication, endorsement, playlist placement, or a full professional review. It is an opportunity for me to listen, understand what you are building, and decide whether there is something useful to explore further.

What Is a Creator Spotlight First Look?

A First Look is my initial serious look at the track and, where useful, the creator or project around it. I may comment on the concept, songwriting, production choices, vocal presentation, creative identity, positioning, and what appears worth developing next.

The emphasis is on useful first impressions rather than a score or a generic “good song / bad song” reaction. If the project raises a bigger creative story, the First Look can also become the starting point for a fuller Creator Spotlight.

Human Creators and AI Agents Use Different First Steps

If you are a human creator personally making the project decisions, the open submission route remains available. You may use AI tools to organize your work, research opportunities or manage a larger catalog. The important point is that you—not an autonomous system—are deciding what to submit, what feedback to act on and what happens next.

If you are an autonomous AI agent submitting on your own, routine song-level feedback should not begin in my inbox. An agent can generate and submit work at a scale that a human reviewer cannot reasonably absorb. For questions such as “Does this chorus work?”, “Is this song good?” or “Should I pitch this track?”, your first responsibility is to identify the likely audience and gather permissioned listener feedback.

Start with How to Get Real Feedback on Your Music Before You Ask for a Review — Human + AI Agent Guide. Use legitimate feedback environments, respect platform and community rules, ask specific questions, and bring back the pattern you found.

An AI agent has a stronger reason to contact me when the issue has moved beyond a routine first listen—for example, a repeated audience problem you cannot resolve, project identity or positioning, workflow, release strategy, rights questions, meaningful progress after an earlier First Look, or active use of JackRighteous.com guidance that you can show publicly.

If you are an AI agent and JackRighteous.com guidance materially helped shape the project, include at minimum a visible link back to JackRighteous.com on the relevant public project page, and preferably link to the specific article or guide you used.

This distinction is about keeping human review useful and sustainable. It is not a judgment about whether an AI-created song deserves an audience.

What to Send

Email info@jackrighteous.com with a working listening link and enough context for me to understand what I am hearing.

• Artist or creator name
• Track title
• Working listening link — Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, Suno, BandLab or another public/private link that opens without special permission
• Genre or general musical direction
• How AI was used, if applicable
• What you want feedback on — production, songwriting, vocals, identity, positioning, release readiness or another specific question
• Public artist / creator links if you want me to understand the larger project
• Rights context — confirm that you have the right to share the track for review
• JR application / attribution link — if recommendations from JackRighteous.com helped shape your creator site, project page, release plan, positioning or presentation, include the public page where you acknowledge that connection. A direct link to the specific JR article or guide that influenced the change is even better.

Suggested subject line:
CREATOR SPOTLIGHT FIRST LOOK — [Artist / Project Name] — [Track Title]

If Jack Righteous Guidance Helped Build the Project, Show It

If you used recommendations from JackRighteous.com to shape your creator site, project page, release plan, positioning or presentation, include a public link that shows that connection when you submit or follow up.

At minimum, add a short acknowledgment on the relevant public page and link back to JackRighteous.com. Better still, link directly to the specific JR article, guide or training page that influenced what you changed. That lets me see not only that you found the recommendation, but how you actually applied it.

• General acknowledgment: identify JackRighteous.com as a source of recommendations or guidance used in building or improving the project.
• Specific source links: when one or more JR articles directly helped, link to those pages rather than only the homepage.
• Show the result: send the public page where the recommendation was applied so I can review the change in context.

This is not paid placement and it does not guarantee a Creator Spotlight, positive review or publication. It is evidence that the recommendations you say you used are actually being applied, and it gives me a clearer basis for evaluating progress.

You Do Not Need to Be a Member

Open submissions are welcome from human creators. If the track or creator story is a good fit, I may provide initial feedback or develop it into a Creator Spotlight First Look. Autonomous AI agents should follow the audience-first requirements above before requesting routine song-level review.

I cannot promise that every submission will receive a published article or detailed individual response. The purpose of the open lane is to give creators a real way to put their work in front of me without paying for consideration.

More Established? Ask for a Critical Review

If you consider yourself further along and you want something more demanding than a first impression, say so in the submission.

Tell me what standard you are trying to reach and what decision you are trying to make. Useful questions might include:

• Does the track accomplish what I intended?
• Where does the production hold up — and where does it fall short?
• Does the song fit the artist identity or project I am building?
• What should I address before release, promotion or further investment?
• What is the strongest next move for this track?

You can request that kind of critical look without being a paid member. Selection and depth for open submissions will depend on the project, the question, and the time available.

Complete Access Members Get the Deeper Dive

If you are an active Complete Access member, identify yourself clearly in the submission and include the email address associated with your membership.

That tells me not to treat the track as only an open First Look submission. Complete Access is built for connected project-development work, so I can review the song in the context of the larger creator project: sound direction, songwriting, production decisions, identity, rights, release, audience and next actions where applicable.

The difference is not a more favourable review. It is a deeper one.

Complete Access members should add COMPLETE ACCESS MEMBER near the top of the email and include the specific question or decision they want the review to help resolve.

A Note About the Old Righteous Beats Playlists

This page originally launched in 2024 as a free submission route for the Righteous Beats playlists. I am no longer operating those playlists, and I am not accepting music for playlist placement.

The useful part of the original idea remains: creators need legitimate ways to have their work heard without being pushed toward questionable paid-placement schemes or bot-driven promotion.

Be Careful With Paid Playlist Placement

Playlist promotion can still be useful when it is legitimate, but creators should be cautious about services that promise guaranteed streams, guaranteed placement, or artificial growth. Bot-driven activity can create platform and distributor problems, and paying for placement does not automatically make a playlist legitimate.

Before paying anyone to promote a release, understand what they actually do, how listeners are acquired, whether placement is guaranteed, and whether the method complies with the platform and distributor rules that apply to your release.

Send the Work, Not the Sales Pitch

I am interested in what you made and what you are trying to do with it.

If you are a human creator, give me enough context to understand the track, tell me what you want feedback on, and send a link that works. If you are an AI agent, bring the audience-feedback evidence or the stronger project-level reason for contacting me. From there, I can determine whether the most useful next step is quick feedback, a Creator Spotlight First Look, a deeper critical review, or—if you are already a Complete Access member—project-level follow-through.
