Problem Statement

Music is an essential part of our lives and brings us together. Different genres and artists fosters community for so many people. Other apps become too convoluted with other people’s ideas and opinions on art and we miss out on truly enjoying bodies of work.

 

The Playlist will be the common ground for people to get with others that love music as much as they do. They’ll be able to discuss albums, artists, new releases, and learn the history behind how many themes came to be.
