“You are what you listen to.” Music tells people a lot about who you are and what you care about. This is the first reason why some people want to know what type of music they listen to. The second reason is that they want to listen to more music similar to it, but they often don’t know what the genre is called to be able to search for it.
Whatgenreis my music?
It’s really not a simple process to identify the music “genre” of a song or an artist. Since musicians can be very creative, not all songs or artists have a specific and defined genre. Some are a combination of many, while others present a new pattern with no associated genre at all.
Identifying genres can be very difficult because there’s no universal agreement on what constitutes most subgenres, and there are so many. For example, electronic music has over 200 subgenres, and rock and metal have over 250 subgenres. We are here to help you with this free online tool that defines what type of music a song or an artist belongs to.
How to use this music genre finder?
The Artist/Song Genre Finder tool is the best way for music lovers and playlist curators to find the genre of a song or an artist. All you have to do is type your song name in the search box, and the app will match that music or song in the databases of Spotify and Wikipedia. If a match is found, the music or song details will be displayed in a section below, containing more interesting information such as the song’s key and BPM.
Don’t worry if you can’t remember your favorite song name correctly; the search box will automatically suggest a few songs for you to select from. You can also start with the artist’s name instead of the song name.
You can also find an artist’s genre using this tool. All you need to do is select the artist option, then start typing your favorite artist’s name in the search box. Identify the artist and get their music category with one tap.
Song mood analysis
In seconds, this music genre finder app will analyze the song mood, including energy and happiness, and it will give you helpful metrics about your favorite music that you were looking for and more.
In addition to providing song genre tags according to Spotify and Wikipedia databases, this tool also works as an audio analyzer so you can get track analysis, which contains the following musical attributes:
- Duration: The length of the song. Is it long or short?
- Tempo (BPM): The overall estimated tempo of a track in beats per minute (BPM). The speed at which a song is recorded and performed has a profound impact on how it is perceived. Is it slow or fast?
- Key: The key in which a song was composed. In music theory, the key of a piece is the group of pitches or scale that forms the basis of a music composition in classical, Western art, and Western pop music
- Camelot: An alternative notation used by DJs.
- Popularity: This depends on the total number of plays the track has had and how recent those plays are.
- Happiness: Scores with a higher number sound more positive (e.g., happy, cheerful, euphoric), while tracks with a lower number sound more negative (e.g., sad, depressed, angry).
- Danceability: Describes how suitable your favorite song is for dancing based on a combination of musical elements, including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overall regularity.
- Energy: Represents a perceptual measure of intensity and activity. Typically, energetic tracks feel fast, loud, and noisy.
- Acousticness: A measure of whether your music is acoustic. The higher the number, the more acoustic-sounding your music is.
- Instrumentalness: The closer the instrumentalness value is to 100, the greater the likelihood the track contains no vocal content.
- Liveness: Detects the presence of an audience in the recording. Higher liveness values represent an increased probability that the track was performed live.
- Speechiness: Detects the presence of spoken words in a track. The closer to 100, the more likely the track is made entirely of spoken words.
- Loudness: Measures how quiet or loud a song is, in decibels (dB). Typical values range between -60 and 0 dB.
- Explicit: whether a song has explicit content or not.
