NPR Debuts New Music Home Page
RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, October 30, 2014 |
Premiering today at NPR.org/Music-the new NPR Music home page. Visually remastered and fully responsive, the page offers users a discovery-forward music experience across all platforms-from 80-inch screens to Google glasses-and brings thoughtful navigation and clean design to the destination for distinct content from NPR Music and Member Stations.
New features include "Songs We Love" recommendations made daily by NPR Music staff and public radio hosts; and integrated, one-touch listening right on the page. Building on insights from the NPR.org home page redesign in 2013 and extensive user testing, NPR.org/Music now presents richer curation across favorite series, station streams, programs, blogs, as well as interviews, reviews and segments heard on NPR newsmagazines-all centralized in one clean collection.
In celebration of launch day, T-Pain stops by the Tiny Desk for a rare, Auto-Tune free performance. The Grammy Award-winner's Tiny Desk Concert set features him singing "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')," "Up Down (Do This All Day)" and "Drankin' Patna." Also premiering on NPR.org/Music now: "Top 10 Musical Discoveries From WOMEX 2014," the foremost marketplace for world music; Angel Olsen's "May As Well," recommended by All Songs Considered co-host Bob Boilen; and video from Wayne Shorter's performance at the Kennedy Center presented by Jazz Night in America, public radio's newest jazz program.
