Resso, the world's first social music streaming app that was launched earlier this year has introduced Quarantunes. It is a song tab on the discover page of the app that offers users three unique radio stations - 'Home Concerts', 'Chill' and 'Work It Out'.
These radio stations are a curation of songs that allow music enthusiasts to relax and cope in these unprecedented times. The music on Quarantunes Radio primarily holds the subtle sounds of Lo-Fi music which caters to Resso's target audience of GenZ.
Lo-Fi is recognized across the world as a way to 'chill' and becomes the perfect companion to have as background sound. The Quarantunes channel primarily consists of many Lofi playlists with "quickly, quickly" "SwuM" "Harris Cole" "Idealism" "Sworn" "Jobii" "S I M" "A L E X" being well known lofi artists to feature on the channel.
With many of us stuck at home, this genre has become more relevant not just as background music, but as ways to find a sense of calm in a difficult time. A perfect blend of ambient and soothing tunes, many of the instrumental songs found on Quarantunes provide users with a rhythmic style that is tranquil. The visuals on the feature are also curated to complement the music thus giving users a complete experience.
