When every listening session starts with the same songs, you may need a different discovery route rather than a much bigger playlist. Try stepping away from recommendations for a moment and following a venue line-up, a performance clip or an artist's own releases.
Change one part of the routine
Listen to a complete song before opening another app. Choose an artist you do not know and try two tracks rather than skipping through twenty. A smaller, more deliberate experiment makes it easier to remember what you enjoyed.
Keep a place for discoveries
Create a short list for new music and revisit it later in the week. Some songs fit immediately, while others suit a different mood. Mayia Steadman's Spotify catalogue is one option for listeners exploring pop singer-songwriters. Her website also connects you with videos, so you can discover through performance as well as recorded audio.
Explore Mayia’s performances and covers on YouTube or read My Story to get to know the artist behind the music.
