Spotify is not only one of the music transmission services, but has become a reliable platform for audiobooks, and has just launched a new immersive experience that aims to help fans to connect more with artists and albums that love the most.
This new immersive feature called ‘Follow-Along’ is now available to use in the Spotify application and can be found in selected audiobooks in the 33 ⅓ series of Bloomsbury, a collection of short books on popular albums that was first launched in 2003, including books on Oasis’ Definitely maybe (1994), to Kate Bush’s Saits of love (1985).
So how is Spotify popular music with audiobooks? Well, when you listen to one of the audiobooks of the 33 ⅓ series of Bloomsbury, you will see additional means such as photos, graphics and songs appear in the playback section. Imagine that you are listening to the audiobook that the National discusses Boxer (2007), when the narrator goes into details about a specific song, the follow -up will show you the right song to add it to your library.
In the publication of the Spotify blog, the music streamer declared that the ‘Mark’ follow -up marks the beginning of the interfunctional collaboration between the music of Spotify and the audiobros teams’, with the manager of Audiobros licensed by Henna Silvennoinen that describes it as’ a dream project ‘for the audiolibro side.
Of the 192 books of the 33 ⅓ series, Spotify has launched 51 audiobooks on some of the most influential albums and the artists behind them. But only a selection number will come with the new spotify monitoring function, including Kendrick Lamar’s to propose a butterfly (2015) and Pink Floyd’s The Piper on the doors of dawn (1967) – Although if it were for me, it would be The wall (1979).
I see the vision, but it must involve more audiobooks.
Music and books go hand in hand, and I always meet videos with recommendations from books based on specific artists, as well as reproduction lists inspired by literature in the Spotify application. I tried the new monitoring function, and although I see the vision, there is a setback that prevents it from unlocking its maximum potential.
One of my favorite things about popular music is to learn about its contextual frame, and the follow -up realized the head with this, especially with the Bloomsbury book series. But it would not be great if the follow -up applied to fiction audiobooks too?
Think about it; You are listening to the audiobook of Daisy Jones and the six By Taylor Jenkins Reid, a story set during a star schedule for the evolution of music. Each time the name of a band or artist is released, his profiles and spotify albums appear, or even better, follow -up, gives him an idea of inspiration behind the characters and the story, sending you to a deep discography of Fleetwood Mac or the doors.
