MusicSamplr.com/cdbaby/ - Discover Indie Artists

MusicSamplr.com is a site where you can discover indie music. Once you enter the site all you see is a blue sky scattered with clouds and a search engine that says find music. From there you type in a music artist and there give you a list of similar indie music artists that you most likely have never heard of that are quite good and reflect the tastes and style of the artist you typed in. For example I typed in "Joss Stone" I then received a list of nine female indie artists that have a similar style. The list comes up as images of the artists' album covers. The list included music artists; Kyla Brox, Liza Melfi, Erin Barra, M'lisa Alonso, Krista Michelle, and others. You get a quick sample of a song from each of the artists' albums. MusicSamplr is in collaboration with CDBaby which has a strong history with indie music. Discover music that you have never heard of before and broaden your artistic horizons with MusicSamplr.

 
  Why it might be a killer  

Although MusicSamplr's interface is extremely simple it is eye catching and mesmerizing. It is a great design because it makes you feel like you are lying on your back listening to your music gazing at the sky, it sets the mood for discovering new music. The site does a great job at matching up similar artists, at least with all of my searches I found at least two artists whose music I enjoyed. Matching up popular artists with indie artists is a good way to get mainstream listeners to connect with the indie music scene.

  Some questions  

The simplicity of MusicSamplr's site has its pros and cons. One of its cons is that you do not receive much information on the site or the artists. It would be nice to learn more about the indie artists, such as getting a brief bio on their career or musical background. Web 2.0 features could also make discovering new music easier for users. If you create a profile with music you like then make friends you can share new artists with each other and learn more about the indie music scene.
