Discovering new songs that you add to your playlist can be difficult for a lot of people. Unless you are always online on social media platforms, you may end up missing out on some of the new songs that have been released. So, when it comes to discovering new songs, how do you go about it?

There is a very good reason why I prefer making use of Spotify when it comes to streaming my favorite music. With how the application recommends new songs and even brings up upcoming album that is about to be released on the day it is going to be released makes it easy for me to have access to new songs.

Mostly through TikTok and reels. Anytime I hear a catchy beat, I’m on Spotify searching for the artist.

I've been using X as long as I can remember and also follow lot of my favourite artists on the social media site. Any new updates about their songs is available to me. It's how I find out about new songs.

You can make it easier for you on Spotify. Follow all those artists you love their songs on the streaming service and he getting all of their new songs recommendations all the time.

I roll with Boomplay radio and allow to play random music. I’ve found great jams there many times.

You're going to have a far more better experience with using Spotify over Boomplay because the same thing happened to me when I switched from Boomplay to Spotify and YouTube music.

This is also one of the ways I find songs on Spotify all the time. It's a new Kodak Black album which I pre-saved. It's going to be released in less than 2 days.

I didn't know anyone can figure out the name of songs through TikTok. Maybe I'll get to try their feature any time soon when I want to check out new songs.

The posters on TikTok normally add the artist's names in the songs they are trying to promote because that's the only way people would go and start looking for the songs on streaming platforms.

I've not always paid attention to that, but I did yesterday when I was checking out new songs that I can add to my playlist. Thanks for also pointing that out.

I usually find new songs through music apps and playlists that recommend tracks based on what I already like. Sometimes I hear something on the radio that catches my attention.

What exactly do you always do when you hear music on the radio? Like assuming the name of the song is not mentioned, how do you get to find it on music apps?

You're welcome. I don't use that option often myself because I have a buddy who's staying in Texas and he loves raps so much. He sends me at least 10 new songs every day.

Lately, TikTok has actually turned to my main music plug 😅. You would discover a lot of random songs there and before you know, you’re already downloading it. I also like when my friends share playlists, that’s how I found some really cool artistes too.

How do you find your own new jams?

Getting at least 10 songs a day from a friend is awesome. You won't be short of getting something to listen to whenever you want to.
