Definition: Extended play record.

Meaning: An extended play record is a recording that contains more than a single (one song) and not enough to qualify as a full-length LP or album. How many songs are on an ep? Typically 3-6 though you may hear other variants between those two numbers. It really doesn’t matter. Online music stores such as iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, etc. will consider a release an EP when it has 4-6 songs with a total running time of 30 minutes or less OR 1-3 songs with one of them at least 10 minutes long and a total running time of 30 minutes or less. A single is the song on the album that the artist considers to be the most “radio-friendly” having the most potential to be enjoyed by the public and is to be promoted the hardest. Benefits of recording an EP: The obvious factor here is cost and time. There is a lot of work that goes into making well-recorded music and good talent charges accordingly. Some say that the work only begins once the recording is done. Because if you build it, they won’t come. You need to take your marketing as seriously as you take your music. I’d recommend getting comfortable in front of a camera and learn how to engage your audience visually. For a very low cost you can learn some basics in iPhone filmmaking, or even hire a student filmmaker to help. EP Release Ideas: Some artists put out an EP of singles where they feel each song is a potential hit and they market them all accordingly. They’ll often release each song one-at-a-time but to eventually amount to an entire EP. The singles will often have a unifying aesthetic and design across all of their content assets to fit under the branding umbrella of the EP which they form that may have a title of its own. A great EP strategy for songwriters is to discover a few electronic artists with some successful remixes you enjoy. Reach out and see if they’d be willing to remix a song and, together, work out an agreement for compensation. Gather a couple of these remixes and you now have a second EP to release shortly after that puts your music in front of the remixers audience and DJ’s who play their tracks. What can an EP be used for? An EP is not synonomous with broke, beginner artist. In March of 2018, after all his success, The Weeknd released an EP titled “My Dear Melancholy.” This could have been old songs from the vault or some that won’t make the cut for his next record. It can take year after a major album is recorded until the team is ready to release it and prepare for tour. In this time, the artist is usually staying busy and can release great filler music that keeps their audience engaged. History: Singles were often pressed alone on individual vinyls and transported in an album (similar to a photo album) for easy transport. As the capacity for of songs increased with technology, EP’s of between 5-9 songs found their way on 7” vinyl, LP’s too, and that’s how the modern album got its name. Wikipedia has got some historical fun facts if you’d like to nerd out further on the evolution of the EP format.

Is Bohemian Rhapsody the longest song?

Despite being just under six minutes long, Bohemian Rhapsody isn't even the longest song on the album A Night At The Opera. That honour goes to the epic track The Prophet's Song; an even more complex recording which clocks in at 8 minutes and 21 seconds.

The famous video for Bohemian Rhapsody was shot in just four hours.

The clip was shot by director Bruce Gowers at Elstree studios in Borehamwood - now the home of EastEnders and Big Brother. The band were concerned that trying to mime to the song on TV would be awkward, plus they were about to set off on a UK tour that would take them through to Christmas Eve. The promo video was made on 10 November 1975 at the soundstage where Queen were rehearsing for their first date in Liverpool four days later. It wasn't the first pop video ever made, but was certainly the most influential - the single's nine week reign at No 1 was attributed to the effectiveness of the clip. From that point on, Queen would shoot a video for every single - and a lot of other artists followed suit.
