This part...

"I need to fully understand what they are offering and feel that what they provide is something I couldn't achieve on my own."

So true though isn’t it!! There’s no shame in us thinking abstractly that “ a label will make my release better”, but when you really get to the nitty gritty of it, you need to see real life measurable benefits in black and white!! Nice one mate ✨

Yeah, and I didn't mean it as a negative to any of the label's have worked with, I've had good experiences bar one.

for me it's the promo aspect that I'd most like help with, but as you measurement is the key thing there.

100% ! It’s also not personal, eg ive worked with great managers in the past but parted ways for business reasons. Ultimately you have to do what’s right for your career. Over the years talking to the MU lots has helped me think about putting my best business interest first.
