This is what the artists themselves hunt with Shazam
In Shazam they are trying to update to avoid being that application that is relegated to a second place in the user's terminal And it is that many only remember it when they want to discover the title of a song or know who is the artist or band that performs ita. However, thanks to the latest changes, and those that keep coming, this application is taking on a more character that is more social and striking, with more activities available to continue using it even if not to hunt songs.
Now the company signs an agreement with more than 30 world famous artists (Pitbull, Calvin Harris, Maroon 5, Meghan Trainor, Coldplay, Usher, One Direction, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Mariah Carey, Imagine Dragons, Linkin Park, and others) to share through this application what songs they listen to and hunt with Shazam A feature that seeks to engage users through their favorite artists, as well as serving as an interesting recommendations section And is that who better to show new music than our favorite artist? An interesting section that seems to look for an interaction very similar to that presented by the music system Apple Music, although in this case the users ofShazam will be little more than mere spectators.
Its operation is simple, just use the application Shazam as usual, but now finding the possibility ofaccess detailed pages of certain artists. These are like a kind of wall where the band members, DJs and singers can show content of their own or of their liking Of course, you have to follow them , as if it were a social network, to be aware of everything they share at all times. A good way to get traction from users, as well as connecting around music.
Thus, artists can share their tags or huntswith Shazam, showing his fans and followers what music they listen to. A good way to discover new artists and songs directly recommended by those you follow.It is unknown, for the moment, if this social space will also give rise to exclusive content What is known is that artists will be able to share comments along with this content through their Shazam accounts, being able to receive Me Like and thus count the ratings of those who follow them.
Another novelty that Shazam has introduced in its latest version is Shazam Counts Or what is the same, a hunting counter. And it is that, for the first time, this application will show how many times a song has been recognized. Something that could already be glimpsed without specific data through the trends, but now they will put each song and artist in their place, knowingwith specific numbers how much interest is arousing or how many times Shazam is being used to recognize said song
In short, a new attempt by the company to give more value to this application that not only wants to offer song recognition. These new features have started to circulate in the latest version for both Android and for iOS, although it may take a while for them to appear in Spain The latest versions are availablefree both on Google Play and on App Store
