Spotify launches new app aimed at artists

Spotify launches new app aimed at artists

Spotify launches new app directed at artists, for a change.

Spotify launches new app

Marketing is a vital aspect to the success of an artist, even more so in this day and age.

There are plenty musical fish in the sea, and hooking the write listeners takes ample planning, market-research and the hot word of this age; DATA.

Data is one of the most important weapons in any industry’s arsenal, with no exception to artists.

Spotify has finally made an app that can give an artist access to listener data so that they can increase their marketability.

Spotify for Artists allows them information like how, where and by whom their music is being purchased or streamed.

The app is a mobile version of the Spotify artists’ dashboard on desktop, which is perfect seeing as most artists are frequently on the road.

For the artists

Product manager Miles Lennon says that the movement to making it accessible via mobile device was the company’s top priority.

“The first thing we’re trying to achieve is meeting the artists’ needs to have mobility,” he says. “They don’t have desk jobs. While we have a desktop product, it’s not accessible to them,” he adds.

Some features of the app:

-Artists can update their profiles and playlists.

-Share what they’re listening to with fans

– Connect easily with fans

-See listener demographics, including; gender, age and location.

– What they’re fans are streaming, how they listen, as well as what other music they access.

Although it’s currently only available for iOS, it is making its way towards Android systems in a few weeks.

Spotify launches new app geared towards artists’ needs which is a good thing; now they must just start paying better!

About Zoë Fenner

With music coursing through my veins and dance erupting from my core, I seek to discover life's melodies.By strumming with words I wish to express the curiosities that the mind do press. From the micro to the macro, from music to what is matter, my curiosity, like the ether, has no limits either.

“Divine Mode was actually the first track on the “Divine Mode was actually the first track on the same EP as Trust in Trance but is quite different. Pixel retains the square bass on his version, unsurprisingly so, since Pixel has released a few tracks in this vein. This is typical Pixel with his interesting and unique use of synth sounds, effortless groove and sparkling production.” 🔥🎶
