Sonu x Cyanite: Streaming Service Integrates AI-prompted Playlists

by Simon | Mar 12, 2024 | Announcement, Company, Music Industry

Music streaming platform Sonu has partnered with AI-powered music tagging and search company Cyanite to introduce VibeCheck, a fresh feature for listeners to generate playlists tailored to any desired mood, setting or situation.

Fair Music Streaming – What is Sonu?

Co-founded by producer TOKiMONSTA, Sonu’s vision is a music industry that’s more equitable and rewarding for both fans and artists. This starts with sonu.stream, a music streaming service that combines ad-free streaming with a marketplace for artists to auction one-of-a-kind digital twins of their songs and enjoy direct support from their biggest fans. Read more here.

A Collaboration to Create Music Moments

We partnered with Sonu, delivering the tech solution for “VibeCheck”. A fresh feature for listeners to generate playlists tailored to any desired mood, setting, or situation.

AI Playlists – Listeners simply enter a vibe, such as “cozy music for a rainy Sunday with my dog on the couch,” or “Friday night dinner party,” and are instantly provided with a playlist tailored to that specific moment.
The prompts can also help listeners find music that’s similar to their favorite artists, tracks, or albums, deepening discovery across Sonu’s music catalog.

A New Form of Music Recommendation

The result is a more immersive and personalized listening experience for users, without interference from editorial playlisting that often prioritizes a platform’s commercial considerations over a neutral recommendation engine.

“There’s just so much music available at our fingertips. Our collaboration with Cyanite is a significant step towards improving music discoverability and broadening horizons for fans. We built VibeCheck as a more fun interface for browsing music in this age of abundance. The goal is a playlisting experience that encourages a ‘lean in’ experience that feels a bit like crate digging in the age of AI.”

– Laura Jaramillo, CEO at Sonu

How it’s done

Cyanite leverages its advanced music analysis and AI recommendation solutions to enhance discoverability – a perfect companion for a music streaming service that prioritizes personal curation over algorithms.

The AI playlists are powered by our Free Text Search, as well as our Similarity Search, with some tweaking here and there we gave Sonu all the tools necessary for this exciting new way of discovering music.

“Music should match our moments. It’s the soundtrack to life. So it’s especially meaningful when we surface tracks from emerging artists that may have difficulty breaking through the commercial playlist firewall. This is another step towards our vision of fair music streaming for all.”

– Laura Jaramillo, CEO at Sonu

VibeCheck is live now at app.sonu.stream. Sonu launched its beta streaming service in December 2023 and is available in the U.S. only, with plans to expand to Europe soon.

In the meantime, you can experiment with our Free Text Search and Similarity Search in our free web app here.

Find The Right Playlists for Your Music on Spotify – Free BETA

by Simon | Dec 19, 2023 | AI Analysis, Announcement, Music Industry

Playlist Matching – Free BETA

With over 4 billion Spotify playlists, finding the right playlists for your music is not easy. With our new feature we focused on promotion – more specifically on pitching songs to DSP playlists, helping you to pick the right ones.

Introducing: Playlist Matching – find the right playlists for your music in seconds.

We’re here to help.

In 2018 Spotify opened up its gates to Artists, Managers, Labels, etc. to pitch their songs directly to curated playlists. This was a huge step towards making song promotion more accessible. But as always accessibility also means competition.

If you are curious about how to write the perfect pitch for your music, check out this blog post here.

Our new Playlist Matching tool will help you narrow down your choices as well as present you with suggestions that you probably would have missed out on due to the sheer mass of playlists out there.

How does it work?

First, you upload your track to your Cyanite account. The song now gets analyzed and tagged with metadata such as genre, mood, energy, character, and many more.

Then you head over to the Playlist Matching tab on the sidebar menu. Next, select your song, and in the blink of an eye, 10 playlists that match the essence of your song will pop up below.

Start finding the right playlists for your music.

New technology is often gatekept and only tested by selected people until it is perfected and rolled out to a wider community. We decided to do the exact opposite.

Discover the Right Spotify Playlists Faster

Get ten playlist matches per song and use that information to pitch your music to the curators (you can find out who is behind the playlist by clicking on the name next to the playlist image on Spotify. Then get in touch via social media).

Find Your Target Audience, Fellow Artists, and Inspiration

With Cyanite Playlist Matching you can better identify the musical bubbles your music resonates with. Great for playlist marketing, artist collaborations, or getting inspiration for your next hit.

Explore New Music Through the World of Playlists

Use your favorite tracks and discover new music in Spotify’s treasure trove of human-curated playlists.

The free BETA is open now.

If you do not have an account yet, sign up for free down below and start now. Our company is made by music lovers for music lovers. We want to grow with you – so as long as your feedback is constructive, we want to hear it.

Help us help you to find the right playlists for your music and improve our services for you. Become a part of the journey.
