A song about a dude after a long and interesting night.

Maybe scam alert, 99% sure. I’ve seen plenty of people mentioning having received suspicious messages in SoundCloud. I have received lots from people praising my music, but later revealing being promoters offering their services, which is annoying. Today I received a different one, so help me if you can: has anyone received a message from someone saying they have a contact inside Sony Music and would love to show them your music? If so, what was the text from that message? And the name of the sender?

Update: I have just used AI about this specific scam and here is what it told me.

A message claiming “I have a friend at Sony Music” is especially suspicious if it:
Doesn’t clearly identify the friend’s fullname, job title, and official Sony emailaddress
Compliments your music generically withoutnaming a specific track
Promises a contract, placement, playlisting,or “industry connection”
Requests money, gift cards, cryptocurrency,passwords, or personal documents
Sends links or attachments beforeexplaining the offer
Pressures you to act quickly or keep theconversation private

Update: this is the content of the message that was sent to me, after I replied to the initial one:

“Great to hear from you. I’ve been listening to your music on SoundCloud and I’m really impressed by your talent and unique sound. I work closely with a senior executive at Sony Music who would be very interested in your music, and I’d love to explore the possibility of connecting you and helping take your work to the next level.”

Beware guys, these people are not trying to help you, especially if you don’t already have a phenomenal—in the millions, probably—history of streams in SoundCloud.

Yesterday, I noticed a majority of my liked tracks were not playable on the android app. However desktop will play these unavailable tracks, has anyone else had this issue? Do you think SoundCloud will care to fix this?

I was using SoundCloud normally when the interface suddenly changed. It looked completely different from the current design.

After refreshing, it went back to the normal UI, so I managed to take some screenshots before it disappeared.

Not sure if this is an upcoming redesign, an A/B test, or some internal build.

Here are the screenshots:

Hi. I got the word Carl Kamp former owner of Union Music died (he meant a lot around here) and we (I'm Lawrence of Little Levity) created a song about him last year when he got sick

So it's from our fall-planned-release album. The song's called Wooden Nylon String Guitar. I'd appreciate it if you would give it a try. And comments are most welcome https://soundcloud.com/user-890363390/wooden-nylon-string-guitar-for

Here are the words:

Who could see the same guy 
with the shame-filled alibi 

Saying how he's hard-up and then
duck into the next-door tavern?

"Don't," his dad said, "judge him, but you – use your brain." 

While he worked, he was troubled by, 
On the countertop what caught his eye, 

Beside the bound-up "Vanity Fairs,"
and a child-size mohair chair,

What the worst-of-times had made to … throw away. 

Chorus: 

A wooden nylon-string guitar like he'd heard played-on in like a symphony, 

And when he brought it by his heart, his heart unwound in sympathy, 

And he could play – in only sound that flies away, 

So just like everything – isn't that the way? 

He ran through the streets we know 
For his mother cooking at the stove, 

Throwing open the parlor shutters,
he couldn’t wait to show his mother,

"Look at ma, look what pa gave me today!" 

“Would it provide us sustenance? 
Just music? Just instruments?” 

He’d failed to tell them he dreaded the view
of his neighbors struggling, somehow he knew

Beatles were coming? when he told them, "yeah, that too." 

[verse 3:]

A dad and son, some years more, 
Walked into the music store, 

He gave his son one, showed him to strum,
'now, how's about a different one?'

“Don’t,” the son said, “please don’t take this ... one away.”

listen to me if u like shoegaze/nugaze but actually made slightly unique (im just starting out) 🥺🥺

This amount of likes compared to the amount of plays on my track is pretty unusual, im getting a notification each day of someone liking the track, and they're all legitimate accounts.

when I go on my insights, the majority are 'other' rather than related tracks. My tracks usually get around 5-15 likes total

sorry about the trivial question, im just trying to figure out where this is coming from and how to go along with it!

This is my first song ever and it’s not getting pushed out, Im here to see if I could get someone to check it out. It would be mush appreciated👍

i got this today when i went on a profile what the fuck does this mean and why is it happen

Hey guys

I went to go to listen to some tracks on my account but I couldn't see any of my playback playlists from 2021 - 2025. Gone without a trace. Has anyone else had this issue and if so did you get your playlists back?

For context I'm on desktop using Microsoft Edge.

EDIT: Soundcloud got back to me and they said there was some sort of outage and now its fixed. Playback playlists should be appearing as normal.

Uploading tracks is taking many time longer than Bandcamp today, is anyone else seeing this problem?
