“Please-Only rate songs in genres you normally enjoy.”
YOU'RE THE JUDGE.
Forget the charts.
Forget the record labels.
Forget how many followers an artist has.
We want to know what YOU think.
Every song featured on Rate My New Song comes from an artist who is willing to put their music in front of real listeners and hear an honest opinion.
Listen to the song.
Rate it 1–10.
Tell us what you think.
That's it.
? DISCOVER MUSIC YOU'VE NEVER HEARD
Every day, musicians and songwriters are creating great music that most people will never hear.
We're trying to change that.
You'll hear songs from artists you probably don't know.
Some you'll love.
Some you won't.
Some might surprise you.
And that's exactly what makes this interesting.
⭐ YOUR OPINION COUNTS
We're not asking you to be a music critic.
You don't need to know anything about music theory.
You don't need to play an instrument.
You don't need to know the difference between a compressor and a kazoo.
If you like it — say so.
If you don't — say so.
It's YOUR opinion.
HOW IT WORKS
LISTEN
We play a song submitted by an artist.
THINK ABOUT IT
What did you like?
What didn't you like?
Would you listen to it again?
RATE IT
Give the song a score from:
1 — 10
TELL US WHY
Your comments can be as simple as:
“Great vocals. Love the chorus.”
or:
“Not really my kind of music, but I thought the lyrics were good.”
Or maybe:
“Sorry... that's a 4 for me.”
That's okay too.
We're looking for honest opinions, not compliments.
? ALL KINDS OF MUSIC
You won't find just one kind of music here.
We'll feature songs from genres including:
ROCK • COUNTRY • POP • BLUES • JAZZ • CHRISTIAN • FOLK/AMERICANA
AND MORE.
And we'll organize songs into genre playlists so you can find the music you enjoy.
DON'T LIKE A GENRE?
That's okay.
You don't have to listen to everything.
If you're a Country fan and don't care for hard rock, go listen to the Country playlist.
If you love Rock, go see what we've got there.
And if you're adventurous...
Try something you've never heard before.
You might discover your next favorite artist.
WHO GETS THE HIGHEST SCORE?
As songs receive ratings, we'll be able to see which ones are connecting with listeners.
Eventually, we can have things like:
⭐ Listener's Choice
Top-Rated Songs
Genre Favorites
Most-Loved New Artists
And yes...
You get to help decide who gets there.
YOUR COMMENTS MATTER TOO
A number tells an artist what you thought.
Your comment can tell them why.
That's potentially much more valuable.
A songwriter might learn that people love the chorus but aren't connecting with the verses.
A singer might discover that listeners really like their voice.
Someone else might discover that their song connects with people in a way they never expected.
So don't just give us a number.
If you have something to say...
Say it.
READY TO HEAR SOMETHING NEW?
THE NEXT GREAT SONG MIGHT NOT BE ON THE RADIO.
It might be sitting on somebody's computer right now.
Somebody you've never heard of.
Somebody without a record deal.
Somebody who simply wrote a song and wondered:
“I wonder what people will think?”
That's why we're here.
A QUICK REQUEST
We feature music from many different genres. Please don't rate a song lower simply because it's a genre you don't normally listen to. If it's not your kind of music, that's okay—just move on to a song you enjoy.
