Bandcamp Album Descriptions
(This is SPEC WORK, unpaid and unaffiliated.)
The client is Bandcamp; one of the only music distribution platforms that allows fans to directly support the artists they love with their purchases.
The products are 3 different albums from independent artists.
The challenge is to create ~120-word descriptions for Bandcamp storefronts that quickly communicate the style, tone, and strengths of the albums they're describing.
The insight is... people shopping these albums probably aren't going to listen to the whole thing before they make their decision. These descriptions need to elucidate on the elements that you only hear after your 50th or 500th listen; by providing some description that's based in experience with the music, the reader can be helped to feel included in the experience of the album before they even press play..
The response...
