THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
Musicians, lyrics, genres. How is it all connected?
Welcome to our project for the course 02805 Social graphs and interactions.
Our objective with this project is to analyze the music industry using data from Spotify and Genius. We want to try to visualize a network of musicians from all types of music, find hidden structure in the music industry,
and try to gain new insights into the different genres as well as develop a tool to discover and explore new music. We want to see if we can relate the network structure to genres, lyrical sentiment, and other characteristics
in the data. We will look into lyrical themes to identify patterns for certain topics and genres, and see how it has evolved over the years.
We gathered the data for the analysis using the web APIs from Spotify and Genius. You’re welcome to download the datasets using the button below and check out our Explainer Notebook, which shows the development process
step-by-step. In addition, there is a brief description of the datasets below.
