Back in Blue: Introducing the new AllMusic
Jul. 15, 2013
Since our last redesign, we've been using your feedback as a springboard to build out new features and respond to a growing need for a better mobile experience. As a result, we've made some big changes to AllMusic, and we're excited to say you can check them out now!
Here's what you'll find:
New Look and Feel
We wanted to give AllMusic a cleaner look, and move away from some of the dominant white spaces that many users talked to us about. We've returned to the familiar AllMusic blue color, developed a sharp new logo, narrowed the page width a bit for users with smaller browsers and really tried to lay out the pages in ways that offered the information cleanly with a modern presentation.
The Site Works on Your Phone
Whether you're visiting us from your computer or smartphone, our new design is made to fit your current screen size. Now you can look to AllMusic.com any time you need to get music info on the go.
Lyrics
Does your buddy think the lyrics to Bad Moon Rising were "There's a bathroom on the right"? AllMusic can settle that debate – we're now offering lyrics on our song pages.
Overview Pages
Now when you land on an artist page or a genre page, AllMusic offers an overview of selected albums and related artists to explore, giving a feel for what that band, musician or musical style is all about at a glance.
"All" View in Artist Discographies
Wish you could view ALL of an artist's recordings? Now you can, using our "All" view in the discography tab. Singles, EPs, Compilations and Videos will all be displayed in one complete list.
More Descriptive New Releases Page
We've added our headline reviews to all albums in the Featured New Releases page, giving you more info about which albums to check out each week.
More Places for User Ratings
Get the average user rating in many places, and rate albums using the hover-over tooltip.

Whenever possible, we're displaying the dates that an album was recorded.
