Playlists

Founded by jazz vocalist Russ Lorenson, RL Productions was created to champion vocal artistry in a modern digital landscape.

As an artist-owned production and marketing company, RL Productions bridges classic repertoire with contemporary discovery. The company produces live events, releases recordings under its boutique label, and publishes music through RL Croony Tunes Music (ASCAP) and RL Productions Music Publishing (BMI).

What began as a commitment to exceptional vocal storytelling has evolved into a curated, cross-platform playlist network of more than 50 distinctive titles across Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon Music, YouTube and TIDAL.

Our programming is intentionally selective, centering on:

• Strong, memorable melodies
• Meaningful English-language lyrics
• Vocal performances that communicate story, nuance, and craft

Our four signature playlist series reflect this mission:

• The Curator’s Series – Theme-driven vocal jazz
• The Songbook Series – Celebrating the composers and lyricists of The Great American Songbook
• The Tribute Series – Honoring the iconic interpreters of the repertoire
• The Holiday Series – Christmas favorites in all their festive forms

We actively promote our playlists through targeted digital advertising and spotlight every accepted artist across our social platforms.

RL Productions does not knowingly accept AI-generated vocal performances to our playlists.

We are committed to supporting real artists, real voices, and real musicianship.

Artists may submit music for placement consideration through our playlist partner, SubmitHub.
