Why do artists hold back songs from being released?
On a dark, moody, introspective album, it might be jarring to suddenly be interrupted by a peppy, joyful tune. Or perhaps a song is too personal and the artist doesn’t want to release it.

What happens when an artist doesn’t want to release a longer album?
