I get bored of my playlists easily despite having over 3,000 songs on my iTunes library, so I’m constantly on the lookout for new, good music. Luckily for me, there’s a plethora of beautiful music and talented artists out there that I still have yet to explore.
When I’m looking for music, I rely on these five websites, blog spots and social media accounts that never fail to provide diverse selections that are continuously updated.
1. Complex
Most of you have probably heard of the media platform Complex, which reports fashion, art and music trends to the public. Although the corporation tends to typically report on mainstream artists and their news as well as music, Complex has been a platform for the careers of upcoming artists such as Niykee Heaton and Kehlani. Complex lives up to the meaning of their trademarked name, providing basically anything you can think of that relates to the world of music.
2. Daily Chiefers
Although this blog site has a smaller following than Complex, it is undoubtedly the best resource for talented hip-hop artists who have recently hit the music scene. The blog team also immediately reports the release of new songs from already well-known artists like Drake and A$AP Rocky.
3. Pigeons and Planes
This Indie-influenced site was created by Jacob Moore in 2008 for people like myself who enjoy all genres. The blog specializes in Indie music but covers a wide range of genres and reports the latest music news. The music website is owned and operated by Complex Magazine but provides a different flavor of musical coverage. Following them on Twitter is an easy and great way to find new music.
4. The Music Ninja
If you’re a fan of remixes and house music, The Music Ninja will be a great resource for you. I’ve come to appreciate its originality and user-friendly website that provides followers with a diverse resource for music. As you scroll down the home page, the website has a stream of new mixes that you can browse through and listen to.
5. Indie Shuffle
For all the Indie music junkies out there, Indie Shuffle will overwhelm you with awesome new tracks and artists. Their Twitter feed is composed of a constant stream of new songs and remixes of your favorites that you’ll be playing on repeat. However, don’t be fooled by this blogs trademark name; they do not solely boast the genre of Indie music but also have a reputable compilation of hip-hop.
