Watch Out Songza, Spotify Announces Expert Playlists for Every Mood and Moments

Music service Spotify announced today a new featured called Browse, which consists of expert playlists for every mood and moment, entering in direct competition with Songza. The feature, which will roll out gradually on the iOS app, will offer carefully curated playlists with and easy-to-use interface.

Browse features:

• Music for every moment: We’ve got just the right tunes for your morning commute, the party tonight, and the hangover tomorrow.
• Music for every mood: More than just genres, listen to a playlist for romance or a collection of face melting guitarists.
• Browse for what’s hot and what’s new: Find all the latest album and single releases from your favourite (or soon-to-be favourite) artists, and a collection of our top lists.

“We don’t rely on one source for recommendations in real life – and music discovery can’t be one-dimensional,” said Gustav Söderström, Chief Product Officer, at Spotify. “Our three-dimensional approach now combines the human touch with strong social features and unique technology from over five years of experience. We know music and we’re the first to marry all three aspects in one service, making it easier than ever for users to navigate the treasure trove of content within Spotify.”

Browse, along side the recent launch of the Discover section and Radio, Spotify consolidates itself as one of the most feature-full music services available.
