About:
We believe there is an absolute rating for music.
Music itself have influence for mental and health state of people, child, animals and even plants. Affinity to music can determine speaking and thinking capability of humans. Music can be base of human therapy.
The song itself (music and lyrics) must find and lead to a harmony of music. Moreover need to say something, need to tell feelings. Singer must be skilled and capable to transmit song's message and song´s feelings to audience. The singer must find a harmony with audience. The music, lyrics, arrangement, singer, band, conductor, orchestra, musical instruments, audience, environment, lighting, audio and video recording together determine absolute value of the music.
What the chance for all above is its best? 1 to million or 1 to milliard or maybe zero? But if happen, then it become top on our absolute rating and worth an SoPeRe award.
In conception SoPeRe has no importance the style, country, continent, gender, year or decade. The relevant only the song, the performance and recording of.
SoPeRe award is not a award money or award statuette. It is not a social event. Today it is just a note on our website. But we think (we hope) decades later when more and more people understand absolute rating of the music, then SoPeRe can be mentioned as a beginning to guide to "best song & performance & recording".
This award based on listening (showing) best recording of a performance. This many times not equal to the popular version. To understand it need to listen using a quality player (e.g. desktop computer + quality headphone or quality desktop AV equipment).
And finally, this award is a dictatorship. But we welcome nominations containing reasoning (more detailed than like " my best singer " or " my best song ").
Many people often ask why the SoPeRe Award does not organise awards ceremonies and why it does not hand out physical awards? Well there are two reasons. First, the SoPeRe Award does not want to depend on sponsors. Learning from the mistakes of other awards, we want this award to be subjected only to music and art. This is why we have not enough money to organize a ceremony or giving an physical award. On the other hand, a single SoPeRe Award can belong dozens of people.
Composers; lyricists; sound engineers; visual designers; musicians; singers; video recording team; audio recording team. So for a single performance and recording, the award must provided to each one of them. This is physically impossible. This is why the award exists only as a single entry at our website. Given the mission of the SoPeRe Award, we feel it is extremely important to make this compromise, even if it offends many people.
From a legal point of view, the Prize and the website promoting the Prize have been created and operate in accordance with the fair use comment and criticism rules of copyright law. Moreover, all of selection and comments on this award is personal opinion, have no relation to any organization or company.
