In case anyone hasn’t tried this yet: Go to ChatGPT and describe the kind of song you’re looking for, along with a few examples, and ask for recommendations.
It’s not perfect, but I’m honestly surprised how good it is at song recommendations. Especially if you ask it for “more niche” bands.
I’m looking for upbeat songs, with maybe a touch of melancholy.
What songs do you recommend?
ChatGPT’s response:
Great taste! For that upbeat yet melancholic vibe, try “Take a Slice” by Glass Animals, “Heart Attack” by BRONCHO, and “All Eyes On You” by St. Lucia. Let me know what you think!
Note that “Broncho” doesn’t exist - I assume it meant “Bronson”. Normally, I would regenerate the response here - once an LLM starts getting things wrong, it will tend to amplify that going forward.
From here, though, you can check out those songs, and if they aren’t what you’re looking for, you can say why you liked or didn’t like them, and get new recommendations.
It’s interesting, because this seems like one of the things AI could be really good at, but no one seems to be implementing it. Instead we’ve got entire startups around using AI to do things it can’t do with plenty of buzzwords in tow.
Not AI powered, but I really like Music Map for finding new music.
The site lets you enter a band or artist and shows you a map of similar artists, with the ones near the center being the most similar and the ones towards the edges of the map being less similar.

I don’t know how to describe it tho
Here’s a simple one I just tried, to give a idea:

Except Spotify and it’s “AI DJ” It’s pretty decent most of the time I’ve been using it for a few months now.
I’ve thought about creating a website for this, but I need to figure out how to break even on the costs. Not really familiar with that side of things.

Nice, thanks for sharing!
My friend shared a similar site with me a while back, but I can’t find the link. If I find it, I’ll drop it here.
Is this with Bing or what?
Bing does use ChatGPT, but I personally use it from OpenAI’s site directly. You do need an account, though.

Exactly lol, is that a superpower for musicians only?
