EMIs New Website

The following is a sponsored review and is of my own opinion and is not influenced by being paid. If you’re interested in having me review your website, product or service, please view my advertising page.

EMI is one of the worlds leading music companies, they have recently launched a beta version of their website to people in USA and UK.  Looking at the new website it instantly looks clean and the navigation has been kept extremly simple.

When visiting the homepage you are presented with a simple coverflow of newly released albums, a news section and a playlist of music videos featuring EMI artists.  I was slightly dissapointed at the quality of the videos available.  Although they are quick to load, the videos are quite small and when the fullscreen option is used, the videos go horribly pixellated and are generally quite unwatchable.

A great feature I found was the ‘Discover‘ section. After typing the name of an artist you like into the box and clicking Discover you are able to see a list of similar artists.  These artists are not necessarily managed by EMI and if they are – you are able to view a song or music video for that artist right on the website.  For the other artists, there are links to 7Digital.com where you are able to purchase the albums to enjoy the music for yourself.  This feature is much like the genious function built into iTunes and the latest iPods.

If you are a music fan, I would highly recommend taking a look at the new EMI website.  It looks nicely polished and offers great recommendations for similar artists and music.
