Spotify wants to keep you up to date with new singles and albums from your favorite artists
The "What's New" feed turns your Release Radar up to 11
With so much new music released every week, it can be challenging to keep track of what's coming down the pipeline. Unless you're deep into music blogs, knowing when one of your favorite artists has dropped a new single or album often feels impossible. Spotify's app lets you follow the bands you love, and now it's taking that feature to its logical conclusion: a new feed designed to keep you updated on all of your favorite music and podcasts.
YouTube Music has had an official mix of new releases and showed you a few selected recent records in their own section since last year, but until now, you couldn't see more than ten new albums or singles there. With version 3.49 of the streaming service, first published mid-January, this has started to change for some lucky people who have seen a vastly expanded version of the new releases section. Judging from reports on Reddit, this refinement is rolling out widely now.
