There’s no denying that those who lived through the ’90s share a fond nostalgia for FM radio. Remember how you used to sprint to your family’s stereo to record your favorite song or your pop idol’s surprise guesting in a station?
Spotify is bringing back those pure wholesome vibes with its new feature Music + Talk, which puts together locally-made music tracks and spoken word commentary in one harmonious listening experience.
Launched on Thursday, August 19, Music + Talk lets you go deeper into the music via conversations and commentary from leading creators and musicians, including Jugs and Teddy, Jim and Saab and the band, plus The Itchyworms. It provides a seamless discovery opportunity, allowing you to like, save, and see more information about a track without having to leave the episode page or search for it manually.
The new feature gives you access to shows, including the following:
- Soundtrip with Jugs & Teddy – Hosted by “It’s Showtime” duo and musicians, Jugs Jugueta and Teddy Corpuz, ‘Soundtrip’ is a study of some of the best OPM hits and the untold stories behind them.
- Makinig Ka Muna with Jim & Saab – A unique show format where musicians and couple Jim and Saab read out letters from young Filipinos, spotlighting songs that ease the soul.
- Worms Upon A Time: An Itchyworms Podcast – A deep dive of some of OPM legends Itchyworm’s favorite tracks in the last 25 years. For their first episode, they spotlight their latest single, Eto Na (Ang Maliligayang Araw)!
“Spotify’s latest audio format allows us to provide a deeper layer to the meaning behind some legendary songs. Being passionate about music, we’re excited to bring Filipinos on a journey with us, giving them insights into OPM they never knew about. Music + Talk makes it easy for creators to engage listeners on a more personal level and also shine a spotlight on local Filipino musicians,” said The Itchyworms’ lead vocalist Jugs Jugueta.
Saab Magalona added, “Jim and I have seen and experienced the growth of podcasting in recent years. Spotify’s Music + Talk is a game changer, allowing us to have deeper conversations on what we are passionate about – music! We can’t wait to share more about our thoughts and trivia, and bring music to life through storytelling.”
Through Spotify’s all-in-one podcast platform called Anchor, anyone can create a Music + Talk show that seamlessly mixes spoken word content and music with access to Spotify’s library of over 70 million tracks.
