Hi guys,
Soren Bebe here. I'm a jazzpianist and composer from Copenhagen, Denmark.
I have about ten releases out, the latest 4 on my own label.
Not having english as my native language I would really really appreciate if anyone in here would be kind
to go to my squeeze pages and have a look and then sign up for my newsletter and check out my automated 4-email series....
I know this is a lot to ask but I'll be happy to do the same for you!
Doesn't have to be a long analysis, maybe just a few words that comes to your mind..
I'm experimenting with different squeeze pages but this is the "default" right now: http://www.sorenbebe.dk and this is for a FB ad targeting listeners of Scandinavian Jazz: http://www.sorenbebe.com/free-.....sic-fb1-2/
Thank you so much in advance
Best regards
Soren
Hey Soren,
I'm happy to offer feedback but it would be best to post the elements here so we can offer feedback at a glance without filling up our inbox and waiting for days. Cool?

Hey John,
Thanks so much, and of course, don't know why I didn't think of that
Here we go.......
1) Confirmation email which delivers the three songs:
Hey *|FNAME|*,
Soren Bebe here.
Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my tunes.
The three songs are taken from the three latest albums with my band, Soren Bebe Trio.
Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, I have been working with this band for almost 7 years now.
I write most of the music and spend a lot of time managing the group also.
We have released 4 albums with this trio so far.
“EVA (Featuring Marc Johnson)” is the latest and features a big hero of mine, Marc Johnson
(Bill Evans, Eliane Elias etc), on the bass.
Recorded in Sear Sound Studios in New York by THE sound technician, James Farber,
this is really the best music I have ever produced and I’m pretty proud of this album
The song “Heading North” is from “EVA” and one of my personal favorites.
The two other songs you are receiving "Country Road" & "Song For Andrea" are from our
two previous albums "A Song For You" (2012) and "From Out Here" (2010).
Both of them received some really nice reviews. Hope you will like them too!
Once you've had a chance to listen to the tracks, please
feel free to tell your friends and loved ones to sign up and
download the music as well.
Also, if you have a second to spare, please head on over to
http://www.facebook.com/sorenbebemusic and post a comment on my

2) 1. automated email - free song (3 days later)
Hi << Test First Name >>,
I can't help it. I just have to give you another song.
This one is called “For L.R.P.” and it's my favorite ballad from our latest trio album "Eva".
Jason Bivins from Cadence Magazine in USA had this to say:
"On the fabulous ballad “For L.R.P.,” the exquisite brushwork (an Erskine influence?)
and brilliantine piano seem to flash with hints of Charlie Haden’s writing."
It features the great Marc Johnson who plays a really beautiful bass solo. Check it out!
Click HERE to get your copy of For L.R.P.
Once you've had a chance to listen to it, please tell some people about the cool piano player from Copenhagen who is giving away free music to his subscribers.
Also, if you're a social media addict (like me), please head on over to Facebook and post a comment
on my wall. I'd love hearing from you!
As I said in my last email, this album is really special to me.
THANK YOU again for enjoying it with me. And now, here's
your copy of “For L.R.P.”:

Mobile phone and tablet users should download the mp3
version HERE
And remember, I really dig hearing from you guys.
So please shoot me an email if you ever have any
questions, comments, feedback, or just want to say hey!
Thanks again,
Soren

3) 2. automated email - youtube (3 days later)
Hi << Test First Name >>,
I hope you had a chance to listen to some of the music I send you by now.
The song “Country Road” is the only song (so far) that actually has a real music video
It was shot at the recording studio as well as in the woods surrounding Copenhagen during a very cold and snowy January a couple of years back.
I would really appreciate it if you would have a look and a listen and maybe even give it a "thumbs up" and a comment on the way
For some reason "Country Road" also happens to be the song that gets far the most positive feedback from reviewers as well as our live audiences.
It’s a song I really enjoy playing and I have played it at concerts so different places as China, Indonesia, Korea, USA, Brazil, Morocco, Germany and Poland!
And everywhere people comments the most on that particular song.
I hope you like it too
Anyway, if you haven't yet had a chance to see the video, please check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/sorenbebe
Thanks again for all the support. It really means a lot!
Soren
PS - If you like the video, please help spread the word by sharing the video on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, or anywhere else you are so inclined.
PSS - Also...if you're digging the music, I have some available for purchase here:

You're right:
Headlines:
Confirmation email: soren - I've got your 3 songs here!
1.email: soren, Here is your copy of For L.R.P.
2.email: soren, have you seen this video?
3.email: Thank You, soren
4.email: Final Notice: Last chance to get a FREE copy of my album
Thanks Soren,
Everything looks pretty good to me. But here are a couple of quick reactions/thoughts.
1. the first email seems a bit long. Maybe somehow get right to the download links and then offer some info for those who want to know more. It's just a lot to read for someone who has just signed up and is still uncertain of how they feel. But then again, the info will help with bonding.
2. There are a few language things that could be smoothed out if you are marketing to the US. Nothing major, just the occassional phrasing or word choice that makes it clear you are not a native to the US.
3. I am personally really missing the bonding piece that I recommend people send out in email #2. For me, sending people to a page of your own that reflects your brand, offers commenting options, etc, and a little more insite into who you are as a person, is important. Not saying it won't work as you have it. I know from what you mentioned that it is working. But I personally miss that piece.
But all in all, I think you're on the right track.
