The rise of online streaming services has led to many changes in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A host of transformative trends stem from this change in medium. Small profits per play causes shorter songs, music piracy declines, and genre-bending becomes more normalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the streaming era, where almost any piece of music is available for a small monthly fee, the full-length album has become less marketable for listeners. Many fans find less time to sit down with a complete project, and are more attracted to individual, attention-grabbing songs found on editorial playlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the world of music at our fingertips, it can be overwhelming to decide on an ear-worthy listen. Petrified by a content overload, people often choose familiar pieces of music, or already-made-playlists rather than embark on the arduous search on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other cases, tapped-in listeners have so much they want to discover, they only can spend so much time with each piece of music before they are on to the next tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both groups of listeners should look to Soundafide, a music blog devoted to adding value to your music listening experience. The platform promotes and showcases currently active underground artists from an eclectic range of modern music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the beginning of each month, Soundafide releases a playlist of up-and-coming artists for listeners to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Post-punk, countrygaze, cloud rap, emo pop, ambient and boom bap could all be found on just one monthly playlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout the month, weekly blog posts will cover a handful of artists from this list. These entries will introduce the band’s background, analyze their art, and offer listening recommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the month, The Artist of the Month will be announced along with an accompanying blog post entirely devoted to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still looking for more? Soundafide will also provide resources for finding new music so the search is always well supplied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tune in next week to get the Soundafide March Playlist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
