Release Planning Timeline

Example timelines for singles, EPs and albums.

Last updated September 8, 2026

Single

WhenWhat to do
4+ weeks beforeFinalise the master, artwork and metadata.
3–4 weeks beforeSubmit through Kalmori Music.
2–3 weeks beforePrepare pre-save and promotional campaigns where available.
1–2 weeks beforeIncrease social media and marketing activity.
Release dayShare DSP links and promote the release.

EP

Allow approximately 4–5 weeks of preparation before release. Multi-track projects take longer to review and have more metadata to get right.

Album

Allow approximately 4–6 weeks or more where possible — especially when singles, press campaigns and playlist pitching are involved. Submit lead singles as separate releases with their own lead time.

Tip:

Tip: Submitting early costs nothing. Your release date does not move earlier because you submitted early — it simply goes live on schedule.
