About
Despite the advanced capabilities of Spotify’s AI, users often encounter challenges with the accuracy of personalized music recommendations. This issue is particularly prevalent for those with diverse or evolving listening habits, where the AI struggles to adapt and may recommend tracks that don’t match the user’s current mood or preferences. As a result, users can sometimes feel disconnected from the suggested content, reducing the effectiveness of the personalized experience that Spotify aims to provide.
Idea
Spotify’s AI excels at personalization, but its effectiveness can stumble when users’ moods or locations change. While the technology predicts patterns, it often struggles to adapt to the nuances of real-time context. This highlights the importance of pairing AI capabilities with user control. By allowing users to adjust their preferences or guide recommendations based on their current mood or environment, Spotify can create a truly responsive listening experience. This approach ensures that AI remains a powerful tool tailored to the user’s needs at the moment.
To accomplish this, we’ve come up with three features that give you more control and help you use this feature:

Song Feedback

Design
Landing Screen
A minimal, bold, and vibrant redesign for a fresh, user-focused Spotify experience.
Home Screen
Dynamic card shapes set a playful, music-inspired mood, breaking from Spotify's usual layout.
Music
Main images blend with backgrounds, forming unique shapes that fuse visuals and atmosphere.
Personalize
The personalize feature tailors experiences effortlessly, requiring minimal user input.
Responsive
The responsive design uses bubble-like elements to emphasize navigation and highlight key music content. This design choice subtly directs attention without overpowering the main focus: the music itself. By keeping music in the foreground, users enjoy a clean and immersive experience that prioritizes listening while maintaining intuitive usability.
Other Mockups
The responsive design ensures that users have a smooth and engaging experience across all devices. It prioritizes seamless navigation while keeping the music at the center, allowing users to focus on their listening without distraction. The layout adapts to different screen sizes effortlessly, maintaining clarity and ease of use throughout.
What's Next
Looking ahead, there is potential to explore further enhancements that deepen the connection between the interface and the music experience. This could include more filter-like features for the AI, allowing users to fine-tune their preferences and interact with the platform in more personalized and meaningful ways as their listening habits evolve.
