Wazzup Pilipinas!

Just recently, Spotify has rolled out some exciting changes to their Android users.

First off, Spotify is introducing their new darker theme, refreshed typography and rounded iconography. Playing your favorite music has never looked so good.

Spotify is not only improving their look though. Spotify knows how much their users love playlists, but that they have been looking for more ways of managing their music. So over the past weeks, they have rolled out Your Music: helping users save, organize and browse their favorite music the way they want to.

They are also improving their Browse feature, delivering even more relevant and localized content. So regardless of whether Spotify users are looking for something to fall asleep to, or the perfect playlist to get them geared up for their big night out, finding the right music for every moment is easier than ever.
