Video-sharing platform TikTok has announced that it will be hosting its first-ever live music event, called ‘TikTok In The Mix.’

The live event is scheduled for Sunday, December 10, 2023, at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona. It will also be streamed globally via TikTok Live.

The lineup features superstar artists headliners Cardi B, Niall Horan, Anitta, and Charlie Puth, along with emerging talent Sam Barber, Isabel LaRosa, Kaliii, and LU KALA from TikTok’s Elevate emerging artists program.

Music recognition app Shazam has unveiled a new hub within its app, allowing music fans to discover personalized live music events within their area.

The new feature, called ‘Concerts’, makes use of users’ Shazam history to deliver curated event recommendations. This provides users the ability to browse, search, and filter by artist, date, location and explore trending concerts all in one app.

In addition to event discovery, Shazam offers users the ability to save and revisit events. According to Apple’s Support page, the app also facilitates setting reminders for upcoming shows and provides notifications for exclusive content shared by artists post-performance, including set lists, tour photos, and more.

More than 60 years after they released their first album, The Beatles are releasing a new song – thanks to the wonders of AI.

The Beatles’ multimedia company, Apple Corps Ltd., along with Capitol Records and Universal Music Enterprises, announced on Thursday (October 26) that the “last Beatles song,” titled Now and Then, will be officially released on November 2.

The Beatles’ new double A-side single will pair Now and Then with The Beatles’ earliest ever release, 1962’s Love Me Do, with the new version of the song mixed in stereo and Dolby Atmos.

The single release will be followed by new editions of the compilation albums 1962-1966 (“The Red Album”) and 1967-1970 (“The Blue Album”). The new versions will have 21 newly-added tracks between them, for a total of 75 tracks. The collection will begin with Love Me Do and end with Now and Then.

Deezer largely attributed the rise in its revenue to “the execution of the strategy of the group, with the ramp-up of the new Partnerships (including RTL+, Sonos and Mercado Libre), and continued Direct subscriber growth in France.”

“I’m very proud of what we have achieved in Q3 2023. We are back to meaningful subscriber growth and secured top line acceleration starting in Q4 thanks to the implementation of a new wave of price increases, as well as the ongoing growth of new partnerships,” said Deezer CEO Jeronimo Folgueira.

Amazon-owned music streaming service Amazon Music has launched a redesigned version of its ‘Amazon Music for Artists’ website.

Amazon Music for Artists is accessible by artists and their teams (including managers, labels, and distributors) who have content delivered to the Amazon Music platform.

The platform, which features real-time data and analytics, is described as “a one-stop shop to manage your business and presence on Amazon Music”.

Spotify is currently in discussions to introduce full-length music videos to its app, challenging YouTube and TikTok in the highly competitive video streaming market.

The said talks were reported by Bloomberg on Saturday (July 1), citing people familiar with the plan who requested anonymity due to the confidential nature of the talks.

The sources reportedly revealed that Spotify has initiated conversations with potential partners about incorporating the new video feature into its platform. The company declined to provide any comment on the development.
