where to check the genre of one music

Hi. Is there a way to check the genre of a specific music?

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

Unfortunately, at the moment there isn’t a way to check the genres that Spotify classifies music into by using the app itself. However, there’s currently a Live Idea for showing the genres of songs on Spotify.

If it’s something you’re interested in, I would recommend adding your +VOTE to the idea; the more votes an idea gets, the likelier it is that Spotify will implement it, and you can read more about how feedback on ideas reaches Spotify here.

You can also feel free to Subscribe to the idea by clicking the three dots next to its title; that way you can be sure to be informed of any relevant updates.

In the meantime, you can always search for music releases on websites that include genre information, such as Rate Your Music (probably my personal favorite resource for genre info these days), Discogs, and Last.fm, to see which genres they classify the music into. Last.fm, which has user-generated genre information, is also nice because it shows the genre info (“tags”) for individual tracks. 

If the artist has a Bandcamp page, you can check out the genre tags at the bottom of the webpage there as well for a release or an individual track, to see what genres the artist considers their music to represent.

There’s also a third-party app for Spotify (mentioned in this related thread) that you might be interested in trying, http://organizeyourmusic.playlistmachinery.com, which shows you the genres of music that Spotify classifies individual songs into. You can log in with your Spotify account, and choose to see genre info either for all the songs in your entire Spotify library, or from certain playlists.

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.

Have a good day!
