Keeping up with trends and music lover demands, Spotify has created two new music series called Secret Genius and AM/PM, a collaborated project with renowned artist and producers made exclusively for the streaming service.

Dusk Till Dawn 

AM/PM is an artist-led on-demand audio show where the guests tell the stories behind the music that fires them up every morning (AM) and what they turn to when the clocks are off in the evening (PM). Die hard fans of these artist get to follow a day in their life fromt he moment they wake and till their head hits the pillow with 12-song playlist.

One artist, Wolf Alice frontwoman Ellie Rowsell revealed that endless touring on a sleeper bus had “turned her into a vampire” who wakes up at 3pm. In tribute to that sense of oddness, Rowsell made her AM selection “aggressive, with a go at life with a bite attitude”, picking songs like Bad Brains’ ‘Sailin’ On’, Foals’ ‘Inhaler’ and Le Tigre ‘Deceptacon’ to get her and the band ready for another show.

During the initial launch listeners can follow Tinie Tempah, Wolf Alice, Jean Michel Jarre and legendary Specials frontman Terry Hall. Kaiser Chiefs, De La Soul, The Kills, Lianne La Havas, The Maccabees and Hot Chip will be slotted for future episodes.

Behind The Curtains

Secret Genius is more about podcasts of great songwriters, people who often dwell in the shadows, but create the soundtrack. The on-demand audio show features interviews with acclaimed – and up and coming – songwriters all of whom have created incredible music.

The show launches with Nick Van Eede (who wrote Cutting Crew’s ‘I Just Died In Your Arms’) and Ed Drewett (who’s written for One Directionand Olly Murs), with future episodes focusing on Nicky Chinn (one half of ChinniChap, the early 70s hit factory responsible for a wealth of beautifully over-the-top, gum-chewing glam pop) and Ryan Tedder who, alongside his starring role in OneRepublic also writes with U2, Adele, Elton John and Ed Sheeran.
