The main question is what your aim is mate and what your budget is. If you already have a big established fanbase then releasing makes sense. If you have a massive promotion budget, then again an album can work. Or if this is simply just a hobby and you want to release an album to say you’ve done it then by all means. But if your budget isn’t huge and your fanbase is small and you’re wanting to grow your fanbase and build traction, then it’s definitely worth thinking about releasing those songs as singles spaced apart! You could still put them out as an ‘album’ once you had released them individually. I do man - I work with artists all over the world. But I’m a producer / mixer first. I don’t work with artists solely on marketing. More than happy to have a chat if you want to fire me an email 👍🏼

@@adamfiascoVEVO thanks for your advice. I’ve been pro musician for 40 years. Joined my first band at 14 and I’ve been in one ever since. I’ve played gigs all over the world and have had a great time doing it but here’s the thing, they have all been cover gigs! Since Covid pretty much killed the live scene, I decided to get serious about producing my own music. I built a studio in my basement. I write, produce, play all the instruments, sing all the vocal parts, mix and master every song. As you can imagine, it’s a lot of work! My problem is, what do I do next? I can find money for promotion but I have hundreds of hours invested already and I don’t really want to invest more money simply for “streams”. From what I can tell, not many people make money from streaming. I’m a business man and as such, I expect to get a return on my investment. I’m just trying to figure out how people actually make money from their music and if I have the necessary skills and resources to be able to do it too. Any advice you can give would be appreciated :)
