This could be ‘new to you’ or new music artists. Right now, I’ve been relying on a local FM radio station.

    • i always liked soundcloud better because it is where the underground has been; youtube also has many underground gems
    • mixes/podcasts and the like
    • through music communities
    • i explored many of those essential charts in the past
    • exploring genres
    • sometimes i would pick a region, greenland, iceland, africa, … and listen to some of their music
    • there are some interesting youtube channels making documentaries on underground music
    • algorithm
  • Mostly rateyourmusic, my preferred review site. Between the user-made lists, looking at the favorites of people whose taste I respect, and the charts putting together average user ratings with an absurd amount of sorting options, it covers most of my needs.

    My strategy has been to just go through the list of album reviews on pitchfork and try 2-3 songs from each. Write down the ones I think could grown on me.

    Still looking for a review site with no numbered ratings.

  • Spotify used to be really good for me for a few years, but I think they’ve ran out of stuff to recommend me nowadays. I often get weekly recommendations that I’d marked as “don’t recommend me this” a few weeks earlier.

  • Sometimes when I’m in search of something from a specific genre, I head over to Bandcamp and look at a randomized list of Artists for that specific genre. Other times I’ll listen to something on Youtube and then take a look at the recommended Music related to what I’m already listening to.

    Creating a Post on Lemmy asking for recommended Music could also be an option of course!
