What’s Really Going on Behind the Music? And Why Supporting C-to-the-V’s Album #3 Matters More Than You Think
Picture this: your favorite local artist pours their heart and soul into crafting the perfect songs. Every lyric, every beat, every melody is a piece of their life story. Then, the album drops—and the celebration is short-lived because of a harsh reality. Streaming services pocket almost 50% of their hard-earned income. How is that fair? It’s a crushing truth for artists like C-to-the-V, who deserve every ounce of success for their talent and effort. But here’s where we come in—we have the power to change the game.
So, let’s talk about why Album #3 isn’t just another release. It’s a symbol of resilience, a beacon of hope for local artists fighting the good fight. And trust me, by the end of this, you’ll want to hit that “Buy Now” button like it’s a moral duty.
How Streaming Platforms Are Low-Key Robbing Your Favorite Artists
Here’s the ugly truth:
Music streaming services rake in billions annually, but the artists—the lifeblood of the industry—often see mere crumbs. Did you know Spotify, for example, pays artists as little as $0.003 to $0.005 per stream? That means 1,000 streams only nets $3 to $5 for the artist. Sounds outrageous, right? Let’s break down the biggest concerns:
- Dream Chaser Dilemma: Artists like C-to-the-V often have to work multiple jobs just to fund their passion because the earnings from streaming can’t even cover studio time.
- Local Talent Gets Overlooked: Big names dominate playlists and algorithms, leaving lesser-known but equally talented artists fighting for scraps of visibility.
- Fans Think Streaming = Support: Many fans believe streaming a song 100 times is “helping,” but in reality, it’s pennies compared to actually buying an album.
And we wonder why so many incredible artists fade into obscurity—it’s not lack of talent; it’s lack of support in a broken system.
Three Simple Ways You Can Make a Real Difference
Luckily, this is one problem we can tackle together. Supporting artists like C-to-the-V doesn’t require a grand gesture—just intentional actions. Here’s how to help Album #3 make waves:
- Buy the Album Instead of Streaming It
For just the price of a coffee or two, you’re giving the artist 100% of the earnings. Skip one latte and give that money to someone creating magic instead. - Share, Share, Share!
Word of mouth is powerful. Post a story, tweet about it, or send the link to your crew. Think of yourself as part of the hype team. - Show Up to Shows (Virtual or IRL)
Many artists rely on live performances for income. Even virtual events are a way to connect directly with fans—and they need that energy now more than ever.
Each step might seem small, but collectively, it’s a game-changer. Imagine if every fan of C-to-the-V bought the album instead of just streaming it. That’s real impact.
Why Album #3 Is Not Just Music—It’s a Movement
Here’s the kicker: Album #3 isn’t just another album release. It’s an experience, and it’s available right now—but only for a limited time. C-to-the-V has hinted at some exclusive bonuses for early supporters, and trust me, you don’t want to miss this:
- Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Content: Get a peek into the creative process with a free video series for anyone who buys the album before October 31st.
- Merch Discount Codes: Early buyers get 25% off a limited-edition Album #3 hoodie.
- Private Listening Party Access: Be part of an intimate virtual event with Q&A, acoustic versions, and surprises.
When’s the last time a streaming service gave you anything extra? Yeah, exactly.
Here’s the bottom line: C-to-the-V isn’t just another artist; they’re a symbol of every local musician grinding to make their dreams come true. Album #3 isn’t just music—it’s a statement that we care about art, creativity, and the people behind it.

Think Different: What If We Reimagine Supporting Music?
Let’s get real—streaming is convenient, but it’s not sustainable for the artists we love. Imagine if every listener approached music like they do a local business. Instead of passive support (streaming), we’d all actively back the creators who shape our playlists and our lives.
Consider this: What if we all treated an album purchase like tipping our favorite barista? You wouldn’t skip the tip for someone who made your morning better—why do it to someone who makes your year better with music?
It’s time to break away from the “streaming = support” mindset and embrace something more meaningful.
