- Social Listening — Just like in the web and desktop apps, now you’ll be able to see at a glance which friends have listened to which albums.
- Full Screen — We’ve made music more visually dynamic by featuring the album art front and center across your entire screen.

When folk singer-songwriter Passenger (Mike Rosenberg) came to our office back in September to perform live in his very own exclusive Rdio Sessions, he was so witty and charming that he left a trail of hearts in his wake — a trait likely honed while busking far away from home after the transition of Passenger from a group to a solo act.
Fortunately, we captured the dreaminess for your musical pleasure. Check out Passenger’s Rdio Sessions, a five-song set that includes the hit “Let Her Go.”

Berlin’s self-described “techno without the technology” trio Brandt Brauer Frick daydreams about sunnier climes, and has even named an album Miami out of a fit of wanderlust.

Take an early spring break and listen to Brandt Brauer Frick’s Miami right here.

Back in September, Rdio listeners won tickets to an intimate live show by Earlimart in their hometown of Los Angeles. Performing exclusively for our Rdio Live Series, the SoCal duo brought the rock in the form of their four-song set. The EP features tunes from the recent album System Preferences and the loved track “Heaven Adores You" from their 2004 LP.
While the L.A. indie rockers just returned from their U.K. tour but you can experience Earlimart live with our exclusive recording below.

Berlin-based DJ and producer Ellen Allien is one of the most prominent women in techno and experimental electronic music. She has built her own career while nurturing those of other artists such as Apparat, Modeselektor, and Seth Troxler, who have all worked with her own 14-year-old label BPitch Control. Allien has been kind enough to provide an early listen to new album LISm before its official release date.

The always-impressive Pacific Northwest record label Kill Rock Stars is getting ready to drop the new Boats album A Fairway Full of Miners. It’s the third and latest effort from the Winnipeg, Canada-based indie rock group fronted by distinctively high-pitched singer Mat Klachefsky. Although the new release is remarkably more mature than past albums, members of Boats don’t take themselves too seriously, even describing their own sound as “a string of unrelated concepts disguised as coherent thought.”
A Fairway Full of Miners will be out on February 5, but why wait until then when you can hear it a week early? Hit play below to hear this exclusive preview.
