HotDrop Music Discovery App Aimed at Listeners and Artists, Launches New Features

It offers natural discovery tools designed to mimic how listeners find and share new music

HotDrop is a music discovery app that is touted by the Wall Street Journal as “an app to help music listeners and fans discover music in new ways.”

Now, HotDrop has expanded its platform and offers natural discovery tools designed to mimic how listeners find and share new music. In fact, HotDrop’s latest update gives both listeners and artists some exciting new features, including a user library, new sharing capabilities, and analytics for artists.

The idea behind HotDrop is to be a music-sharing & promotion service designed to address “the current generational shift underway in music discovery and consumption.” It does so by providing 30-second snippets of tracks that allow for rapid discovery, and the snippets can be shared with friends and fans easily.

The result is a platform that gives emerging artists high virality, and it means that artists don’t necessarily need to create so much content for social sites like TikTok to be discovered. Furthermore, HotSpot was founded by a team of Gen-Z music addicts and artists, and “[the HotDrop app] had more than 25,000 downloads and ranked 7th on the App Store” within two days of its initial launch.

Once they discover a track, users can swipe to learn more about the artists and their music. Artists can create profiles that users can follow and they can upload their lyrics too.
