Project Description
Streaming music services lack heart. Algorithms aren’t enough to fix the problem—to do that you need people driven by a passion for music.
We designed a revolutionary new music service combining human curation and technology that could truly understand you.
From the start, Beats Music was designed to be mobile first. The interface was meant to feel simple to use, and connected to the culture and emotion of music. Building a profile helps Beats Music understand your taste, so it can serve music curated by experts just for you, for whatever moment you’re in.
