Use Cases
Finished an Album and Want More
You loved one record and do not want to spend an hour scrolling recommendations that miss the mood.
Building a Playlist
Seed a playlist from one favorite and find lesser-known names that still feel right.
Exploring a Genre or Region
Try “dark synthwave musicians” or “japanese jazz fusion” without knowing specific band names upfront.
Planning a Gift or Shared Playlist
Someone told you one artist they love—use that as a starting point to find more they might enjoy.
Writing or Research
Pull a solid list of alternatives before drafting “artists like …” articles or comparison posts.
Breaking Out of a Listening Rut
Describe a feeling or era you want—“90s alternative energy” or “calm acoustic Sunday”—and get fresh names.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I search by artist name or by genre?
Yes. Try “artists like Radiohead” or “melancholic rock bands”—both styles work.
How is this different from Spotify’s suggestions?
Spotify leans on what you already play. Here you can describe any artist or mood—even ones you have never listened to—and get a new list built around that description.
What does the match percentage mean?
It shows how closely an artist fits your search compared with the other results in that list. Higher means a stronger fit for what you typed.
Is this free?
Yes. Searches are free with a daily limit shown in the usage bar. No credits or payment required.
Why did I get no results?
Try adding a genre, a country, or a reference artist. Broader phrases like “indie rock bands” or “artists like Arctic Monkeys” often work well.
Will the same search always show the same artists?
The main suggestions stay similar, but the order and a few edge picks can change as the catalog is updated.
