"This song makes me feel like I'm in a coming-of-age indie movie. Perfect for rainy days and deep thoughts. 🌧"

Your vibe collection awaits

Discover and save vibes that speak to your soul!

Nah, we're the opposite of that. Vibes is where you discover music through actual human stories, not just some random algorithm. People share "vibes" (a song + a real feeling or moment) that you can discover. It's all about finding that next track that makes you say, "this song is literally me."

It's simple. You share a "vibe" by picking a song that's hitting you right now, add a little context (like a memory, a mood, a late-night thought), and let it "drift" out. Then, you get to discover vibes other people have sent. Think of it like finding a message in a bottle, but with a banger tune inside. No catch.

Yep. One discovery, and it's gone. We do that to make every find feel exclusive and special—like that song was meant just for you in that moment. It's not about endless, recycled playlists. It's about that one perfect track finding you at the one perfect time.

"Song of the Week" is the track that the whole community crowns as the ultimate vibe. Everyone votes on the best discoveries they've made. It's our way of building a collective soundtrack together and seeing which story truly connected with people the most.

Spotify uses code. We use people. Their algorithm looks at data; our community shares real-life experiences. You're not just getting a song title—you're getting a piece of someone's story attached to it. It's the difference between a bot saying "you might like this" and a person sharing a song that will actually mean something to you.
