The music streaming service Tidal announced the launch of a new social network, namely Circles.
This new platform, as it is easy to imagine, will be deeply integrated with Tidal, offering users artists an area to discuss work experiences with each other, connecting with colleagues and navigating the music industry with ease.
Circles should offer a tailor-made environment for musicians, DJ or anyone working in the environment, with accessibility currently limited to those enrolled in the program Tidal Rising and the emerging artists they use Tidal Artist Home. As is easy to imagine, after an initial testing phase, Circles will open up to a greater number of users.
It should also be underlined that the platform does not offer particular space to professional figures that revolve around artists, such as producers, record company executives and other similar profiles.
How Circles, the musicians’ social network, works
Once a profile is registered on the social network, the artist can explore a forum made up of four distinct sections:
- Touring & Booking;
- Fans & Social;
- Merchandise;
- Music Creation.
Within the forum you can use a search function to locate conversations on specific topics. Here, musicians will be able to intervene with comments in their own name or anonymous. In this sense, it should be underlined that Circles is not a platform that does not carry out moderation operations. In this sense, anyone who does not respect the rules of the service will be punished by regulation.
The platform appears completely free and offers a series of useful tools for anyone who intends to promote themselves in the music sector. Among them, for example, it is possible to mention Tidal Collabsan initiative to help connect various musicians who, for example, are looking for a specific figure to join their band.
With this initiative, Tidal hopes to conquer those who create musical content, also trying to gain ground towards what, at the moment, is an unattainable competitor such as Spotify.
