Amazon Music tests an AI-powered search experience for fans to learn more about their favorite artists

TechCrunch20-05-2025

Amazon Music announced Tuesday that it's testing a new AI-powered search feature called 'Explore,' designed to help fans learn more about their favorite artists.
To use this feature, users can tap the 'Find' button at the bottom of the screen and enter an artist's name in the search bar. Then, by selecting the 'Explore' tab at the top left, users can discover information about the artist, including collaborations with other singers, related artists they might not know, and highlights from their discography.
For example, when users look up Jelly Roll, the AI will direct them to notable duets, such as 'Save Me,' featuring Lainey Wilson. This feature also serves as a way for Amazon Music to promote its original content, like Jelly Roll's exclusive cover of 'Should've Been A Cowboy,' featuring T-Pain.
Additionally, users will have the option to create an AI-generated playlist. Last year, Amazon Music launched its answer to Spotify's AI DJ, called Maestro, as part of its strategy to compete against the streaming giant. Incorporating Maestro into the Explore feature is likely aimed at encouraging more users to try out the AI playlist function.
While the goal of Explore seems to be to keep users engaged with the app for a longer period and connect with artists, it also comes a few months after Amazon raised the price of its Music Unlimited subscription by $1, indicating an effort to encourage more users to pay the new cost of $11 with an enticing new feature.
Explore is rolling out today to select Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers in the U.S. on the iOS app. However, it is important to note that the beta feature is currently limited to only 10,000 artists, such as Bad Bunny and BLACKPINK, among others.

This Conservative Is Doing Just Fine, Thank You, After Getting Dumped by Trump

'House of David,' a retelling of the biblical shepherd's unlikely rise, capped season one with the future king's epic takedown of Goliath and started April in Amazon's top streaming spot. David's surprise triumph was also Leonard Leo's. The conservative lawyer and co-chairman of the Federalist Society has been secretly helping bankroll Wonder Project, a Texas-based studio that produced the popular series and, Leo hopes, will follow with a string of Christian- and conservative-leaning shows so slick they can go head-to-head with other big-budget entertainment.

Taylor Swift Becomes First Female Artist to Achieve Major Milestone

Taylor Swift Becomes First Female Artist to Achieve Major Milestone originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Taylor Swift has proved that she can never go out of style. On Monday, it was announced that Swift is the first female artist to have 50 songs to surpass 500 million streams on Spotify. This milestone was achieved when 'The Way I Loved You (Taylor's Version),' from the re-recorded version of her 2008 album "Fearless," became her 50th track to cross the half-billion mark on the platform. This news came out three days after the 35-year-old singer announced that she bought the rights to all her masters, meaning she owns every single album, music video, concert film and the art that comes with it. "All of the music I've ever belongs to me," the singer wrote in a letter that's published on her website. "Every single era. My entire life's work." Trailing Swift are other powerhouse women in pop, such as Billie Eilish, with 36 songs over the 500 million mark, Rihanna with 31 and Ariana Grande with 29. Other notable names include Dua Lipa (22), Karol G (19), SZA (18) and Doja Cat (17). Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey and Nicki Minaj each have 16 tracks that have reached the same milestone. This news comes after Swift hit another milestone. Her classic hit 'Love Story,' also from her album "Fearless," recently surpassed one billion streams on Spotify. The track, which helped launch her into worldwide fame, now holds a spot on Spotify's Billions Club playlist. It's her 16th song to cross the billion-stream mark, reinforcing her status as one of the most-streamed artists story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
