A quiet place to be
heard.
Cue’s feed shows one song per friend, per day. Sponsored cards sit alongside, frequency-capped and editorially distinct — not interruptions, but recommendations from the room. Every placement is reviewed by hand.

What we promise
our readers.
-
G1
Sponsored cards never impersonate a friend. They carry a Sponsored or Featured label and a plum accent border; no fake username, no fake avatar.
-
G2
The feed shows at most 1 sponsored card per 10 organic entries, and at most 1 per user per day. Skip is a swipe — no force-watch, no penalty.
-
G3
Sponsored cards do not inherit the user’s mood color. They use the artist’s album-art tone only — signaling editorial, not personal.
-
G4
Every application is reviewed by hand. We turn down off-fit, lyrically-aggressive, or clutter-y placements. We’d rather your placement land than fill an inventory slot.
Apply.
We’ll write back.
The form is free to submit. If approved, we’ll send a Stripe payment link; your placement goes live the moment payment clears. Typical turnaround: 1–3 business days.
