1. Fuse

Spotify algorithmic playlists, which are streams from the automatically generated playlists, usually specific to a genre or mood. Spotify editorial playlists, which are streams from playlist curated by Spotify’s editorial staff. Other, which are streams that come from any other place that is not the traditional desktop site or app. How to Avoid Creative Burnout The Game Plan. It can be hard to know when to say no, but unplugging to recharge is crucial. Nick Murphy, Olivia O'Brien, Salt Cathedral, and Mike Posner—plus Run The Jewels’ co-manager Amaechi Uzoigwe, and meditation expert Jesse Israel of The Big Quiet offer some tips.

Best for: Creative playlists The Fuse Spotify app is a perfect resource for curated playlists. With a gorgeous, image-heavy layout, the app is fun to use and very visually appealing. Fuse's 'What We're Listening To' playlist features over 200 tracks and is updated by staff members daily. You probably won't find new songs with this app, but you will enjoy the creative approach Fuse takes when compiling its playlists, such as 'This Niles Rodgers Playlist is Like the History of Disco and Dance,' 'The Daft Punk Samples Playlist' and 'Single Ladies: The Best One-Named Female Singers.'

2. Blue Note

Best for: Perusing classic jazz songs Blue Note is an essential Spotify app for jazz enthusiasts. The app features more than 70 years of music. Its interactive timeline and filters let you customize your browsing selection. 'View' or 'Read More' links bring you to a landing page with historical context and profiles of contributing artists. 'Add as Playlist' and 'Share' buttons make the interactive experience social, too.

3. TuneWiki

Playlists Curated By Artists On Spotify Apps

Best for: Looking up lyrics Say goodbye to those '[song name] +lyrics' Google searches. The TuneWiki Spotify app generates lyrics for whatever track you're listening to, and then as the music plays, it automatically bolds the current line. The app struggles with more experimental music like Dillon Francis and XXYYXX; since the words are so muddled, it simply says: [Instrumental] (Instrumental) {Instrumental} And I have to admit, I appreciated the creativity in conveying the different sets of instrumentals.

4. Emerge

Spotify Playlist Picture

Best for: Tracking social buzz of emerging artists The Emerge Spotify app uses data visualization to track new artists you care about. While most apps on the Internet try to cater to Millennials' notoriously short attention spans, Emerge takes a more long-term approach: It tracks social buzz and Spotify activity of 10 upcoming artists over a six-week period.

5. Pitchfork

Best for: Alternative music discovery Pitchfork's publication is exceptional for finding new music, so it's no surprise that its Spotify app is equally helpful. You can browse album reviews in three ways: an all-inclusive stream, the best new albums, or Pitchfork-made playlists. Each album listed comes with a numerical rating, an 'Add as Playlist' option, and a 'Share Album' option, as well as a full-length, Pitchfork-style album review.

6. Rolling Stone Recommends

Best for: Reading reviews of new releases The Rolling Stone Spotify app works hard in all the right places. The interface is hassle-free and the album and song reviews are hosted directly on Spotify. A large selection of the playlists are curated by top artists, from David Guetta to Tom Petty.
