Spotify is about to have a new competitor from the company that created TikTok

ByteDance - owner of one of the fastest-growing apps in the world: TikTok, has just released an experimental online music streaming app called Resso in two of Asia's most populous countries. , and also the strategic market of Tik Tok: India and Indonesia.

Resso is developed based on the familiar style of TikTok and is expected to follow the older brother, becoming a 'challenger' for big names like Spotify, Tidal or Deezer . like the way TikTok is threatening. The 'throne' of Facebook, WhatsApp though born after.

According to a Bloomberg report, Resso was first introduced in June 2019 and has attracted over 27,000 paid users.

Resso is interesting in that it offers a completely different experience than any traditional music application you have ever used before. This application adheres to the basic principles of TikTok's user interface design philosophy, meaning that you simply swipe up to switch songs, display the lyrics in real time and allow users to comment. below the songs.

You can also watch videos or GIFs in the background like on TikTok - with lyrics displayed directly on the screen. Not only that, you can also choose and assign different videos to the same song (although some songs already have official videos, you can still assign with some 'homemade' videos)

The ability to share customized lyrics is also quite unique on Resso. After you click the share button, you can select specific lines, lyrics, then add wallpapers and edit fonts to create a photo that expresses emotions or simply 'live virtual'. . You can save this image to your computer as well as share it on social networking apps.

A minus point on Resso at the present time is that the music store is too modest compared to rivals. In addition, ByteDance has not been able to reach an agreement with the three largest music production companies in the world, Warner, Universal and Sony - the companies that control most of the music data that Resso is required to use. However, for a fledgling application like Resso this is completely understandable and will improve over time.

It is still unclear when this interesting music application will be released in Vietnam.
