If you've ever used Spotify, you'll know that typing 'new music' into the search bar will yield a selection of curated mainstream newness from the likes of Lady Gaga, Ella Eyre, Jake Bugg and Stormzy, (and New Music Friday UK is always a good playlist shout here) but what if you're looking for something a bit different? That's where we come in. And the platform is always trying to offer something new, whether it be artist-led algorithms to better personalise your music recommendations, ‘Only You’ and ‘Blend’ features, or giving Spotify account-holders a chance to 'tip' acts while listening – acts who clearly lost a lot of gig revenue over the past two years.
