Has Potential
The potential is definitely there, but currently all you can really do is sign an artist and release their music, in my experience it is way too easy to make them a hit, and once they’re a hit you have plenty of money and there’s basically no game anymore, additionally i find myself never wanting more than one or two artists on my label because managing them becomes a headache, and any time spent not doing PR for my biggest artist is kind of a waste. Some features that would be nice:
Automation - It would be nice if you could set your artists to record demos or songs automatically once you reach a certain size. Having 5 artists and managing every stage of their process is tedious, setting their project direction and then letting them record demos until you decide you have enough would be nice. Maybe only once you have your own studio?
Producers - You should be able to sign producers instead of hiring the same one every time.
Selling/Using demos - it would be nice if i could have a songwriter who could write songs for my other artists, this happens irl all the time and would incentivize you to build an actual label instead of keeping one artist.
Concurrent PR - The current pr system makes it annoying to try to support multiple artists because you can only get events for one at a time. PR team should be able to split their effort between multiple, at least when you have 50 people on staff.
Tours - you should really be able to see what the expected demand is for an artist’s tour, it’s annoying trying to guess how many shows they’ll sell. It doesn’t need to be perfectly accurate but a ballpark number would be nice.
Groups - it would be nice if you could move artists in and out of groups or assemble solo artists into a group.
CD Manufacturing - This is unlocked way too late. if I have an artist who just sold 4,000,000 copies of a record I should be able to get a manufacturing deal, it’s not until I have someone selling 500,000 first week that i unlock the worst manufacturing deal, and at that point I need more weekly capacity than those deals are offering.
Distribution - it should be possible to renegotiate these deals.
