Music has a potent effect on our lives and it is ‘quite’ essential to find someone who enjoys listening to the same songs as we do. Whether it’s our birthday, a long drive with a close friend, a cozy night in, or a jamming session with the gang, music plays a significant part in setting the mood in our daily routine.
In the sixties, Boomers used mixtapes to express their love for someone special, and creating a customized mixtape was dubbed as the ‘it’ thing. Times might have changed but the trend continues, and even Gen Zs are using the same technique to woo each other away, particularly during special events like Valentine’s Day. The only difference is that they create playlists, which is relatively easier, faster and more shareable to be honest.
There is no denying that all of us have developed an unconscious bond, a sense of liking to a specific tune that sounds ‘perfect’ to us and a few others. It is also true that two like-minded individuals do not always enjoy the same taste in music whereas two opposites in real life might hit it off because of their same taste in music.
But can you really tell if your significant other or a friend matches your vibe by taking a look at one of their playlists? No, not exactly. If you truly want to find out how deeply you connect with someone on a musical level, then you must find a way to look at what they are listening to on a daily basis. And, while that could be a difficult task to do, here comes Spotify’s Blend to our rescue!
Spotify just made this entire process a whole lot easier with its latest feature, Blend. Blend enables two users to compare the songs that they have been listening to. Once the blending is complete, users are not only provided with a combined playlist of matching songs but they are also given a compatibility analysis that tells them if their song selection or taste in music matches or not.
Sounds pretty exciting if you ask us and, in our opinion, Spotify just aced the game that Gen Z famously refers to as ‘matching playlists’, to see if they would get along or not. So, if you’re as intrigued as we are by Blend’s distinct functions that match your musical taste scores with your loved ones and allows you to express your love by sharing your data stories, then try this feature of Spotify right now and bond over Blend with your Valentine’s today!
