I’ve been using Spotify for almost four years now. After all this time, I’ve realized there is a variety of ways to discover new music on Spotify and they’re all fairly easy. Although, finding new music is definitely time consuming. Here’s a few tips and tricks to finding new music:

1. New Releases

This is the easiest method of find new music. New music is released every Friday and you are able to look through all the new releases. I’ve found a lot of new music first because of this feature on Spotify.

2. Spotify Rising Playlists

Within most genres on Spotify, there is a playlist for rising music within that genre. Generally, I just shuffle play through one of these playlists from time to time and if I’m lucky I will find a handful of new songs to add to my playlists.

3. Related Artists

There have been some times that I’ve been on one artist, usually this works best with a lesser known artist, and clicked on the related artist tab to find other artists I had never heard of before. This opens a lot of doors to finding new music when you use a brand new artist to navigate through.

4. Remixes

Searching for “remix” or “remixes” can find you a variety of good songs to jam out to. I’ve found both remixes of songs I already really liked and new songs I had never heard of before.

5. Recommended Songs Feature

Spotify has recently implemented a new feature on playlists where they recommend songs based on the music that is already in your playlist. Which is great if you have a theme going on because this is detected by Spotify!

While these are only a few tips, they really do go a long way. I have a habit of doing most of these things to find new songs to listen to. If you’re ever sick of the same old music, try a few of these tips!
