Spotify has released a new playlist, catered especially for you, but the catch: it changes completely every few hours. This is Spotify’s Daylist. 

This new playlist can be found by typing into the search bar “Daylist” and your timely personalized playlist will be waiting for you. The Daylist has exuberant titles such as “DJ Rhythms Monday Morning” or “Hip-Hop Rhymes Monday Afternoon” which relates to the kind of music that you usually listen to during that time of day, on the day of the week. Under the description of what is going to be in the playlist, there is a timestamp which states when the playlist will be updated. 

How it works: Using new software, the application is able to detect “interactions with Spotify” (Forbes). This means that if a Spotify user plays certain kinds of music during specific times of day, similar or the same songs will be put into the Daylist. This offers new music suggestions that fit the same mood/style of music you typically listen to. 

I personally love listening to my Daylist because I am able to be introduced to new music and new creators that still fit into my musical comfort zone. All I have to do is hit play and my exact mood in music form is played. Right now my Daylist is titled “Delulu Mysterious Monday Early Morning” which has artists such as The Neighbourhood, The Weeknd, Chase Atlantic, Tame Impala, ect. I have already added over 20 songs to my usual playlists that I found on the Daylist. 10/10 from Me.
