About Original Music Review

Original Music Review is an independent review platform for original artists. We cover singles, EPs, albums, and music videos from emerging and independent musicians across genres.

Our goal is to give artists thoughtful, specific, searchable written coverage they can share with listeners, fans, bookers, publicists, and industry contacts.

Our reviewers

Original Music Review is written by an editorial team using reviewer names and pen names. This allows our writers to focus on the music while maintaining privacy and independence.
