About Recommended.fm
Built by people who live and breathe music, solving the problem of music discovery
Our Story
Recommended.fm was built by people who live and breathe music. It began with our own channel, Love Life Lyrics, launched because nobody else was making sure the best new music was getting discovered on YouTube.
On DSPs, the entire world's music is technically at your fingertips—but that's also the problem. You still have to tell the platform what you want. When choice feels infinite, most listeners default to the same handful of songs and playlists over and over again. Discovery becomes work. Artists get buried.
The Algorithm Advantage
We set out to fix that. Love Life Lyrics started as a kind of curator-radio station, a way of surfacing what was worth hearing without listeners having to search. As we grew, we learned how to harness YouTube's greatest strength: the Recommended function.
That's where the algorithm automatically serves your song right after a major hit. Suddenly, new music doesn't just sit and wait—it's pushed directly to fresh ears.
Building the Network
We weren't the only ones doing this. Across the globe, curators were building passionate communities and running channels that acted as trusted filters for music. We connected the dots, and over time that network expanded into hundreds of channels, tens of billions of views, and countless artist breakthroughs.
This approach didn't go unnoticed. Major labels use us to run UGC campaigns for their biggest singles, because they know this is how YouTube works. And now, for the first time, we're bringing that same system to independent artists.
The Next Step
Recommended.fm is the next step: a bridge between artists and curators, a toolkit that gives indies the same campaign firepower as the majors, and a global community of music lovers working to make sure the best songs find the right ears.
We're not just a platform. We're a solution to the problem of music discovery—where your song doesn't just exist, it gets recommended.
