Reviews

The FATEA team would be more than happy to take the time to review your material. We prefer to review physical copies of albums, but if your release is online only, we will try and review it, but please ensure that any download you send for review includes press release and sleeve. We do not review streams or YouTube videos.

Please include contact details on any communications. Also please ensure that you let us know the release date, if it's not already out and if you are not taking a single from an album, what two tracks you might prefer for airplay. We will, of course, link back to your website. Please try and include a link to www.fatea-magazine.co.uk on your website, it helps us to help you.

Whilst we will do our best to review any release that comes through the office we are not able to guarantee that we will be able to review everything

We are always interested in hearing from anyone that may consider being a reviewer for Fatea and joining the team.

Please send review material to:
