Amazon Music launches [Re]Discover playlists

Artist catalogues across all music genres

07/08/2020

Amazon Music launches [Re]Discover playlists containing artist catalogues across all music genres starting with Bob Marley as [Re]Discover Artist of the Month. Later in the year Marley’s iconic Legend album will be available to stream in 3D Audio exclusively on Amazon Music HD. [Re]Discover showcases carefully curated artist playlists across various genres and takes listeners on a career-spanning journey of musical discovery, or re-discovery, through the featured artist’s entire body of work. In addition, there are 50 other artist playlists and merchandise available under the [Re]Discover umbrella.

Adam Block, head of catalogue music for Amazon Music, said “[Re]Discover was inspired by what many music fans recognise as one of the great joys of the streaming era: our ability to discover or rediscover great music. With [Re]Discover, we’ve created a dedicated umbrella under which all catalogue music and the stories that accompany them can be experienced. Whether you’re hearing Bob Marley for the first time, or being reminded of his music again, the reward of that experience is real. We’ve created a destination for catalogue music that aims to engage both existing fans, and create next generations of them.”

The naming of Marley as the [Re]Discover Artist of the Month commemorates Bob Marley’s 75th birthday milestone. The launch of [Re]Discover and its Artist of the Month campaign also includes the creation of a Bob Marley artist store on Amazon.com, including links to stream and download his music; physical music selections, links to related films and books; and a collection of exclusive merchandise including clothing featuring intimate photos of Marley taken by David Burnett, from his published book titled Soul Rebel available only at the Official Bob Marley Amazon Store.

Later this year, Amazon Music HD will exclusively stream Legend: The Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers, in immersive 3D Audio on Amazon Music HD as a part of [Re]Discover. Recording engineer Nick Rives created the immersive mixes at the legendary Capitol Studios, where Bob Marley & the Wailers rehearsed during their first American tour in 1973. For the first time, fans will be able to hear iconic songs like ‘I Shot the Sheriff,’ ‘Exodus,’ and ‘Is This Love” mixed in Dolby Atmos.

The [Re]Discover Bob Marley playlist can be found here.

Among the first [Re]Discover playlists customers can enjoy are [Re]Discover Alanis Morissette, [Re]Discover AC/DC, [Re]Discover The Chicks, [Re]Discover Drake, and many more.
