“Spotify Gallery”: Explore Full Visual Artwork of Albums and Singles

[agustinbertorelli]

Hi everyone! I’ve been developing this idea over the past two months, and I’m excited to share it.

"Spotify Gallery" would be a new feature that lets users explore the full visual artwork of albums and singles, creating a more immersive and complete music experience. Users will be able to view the inner artwork of an album or single, allowing them to explore the images, lyrics, and additional information included in a physical format.

🔝 KEY BENEFITS:

- For Artists: Encourages visual creativity and allows sharing artwork from pre-digital releases.

- For Spotify: Increases user engagement, differentiates the platform from other streaming apps, and enhances the visual experience of music releases.

⚠️ THE PROBLEM:
Current streaming platforms only display cover art, ignoring the full visual side of music releases. Spotify Gallery addresses this by showcasing the complete artwork alongside the music.

💡 OPPORTUNITY:
With the global resurgence of vinyl and nostalgia for physical albums, Spotify can leverage this trend to offer a richer visual experience to digital listeners.

💥 IMPACT:
This new feature brings the feeling of holding an album to digital listeners, combining audio and visual art in one seamless experience.
