Rate The Whyd App, Help Us Trend!

Wow, what a busy week we’ve seen here in Paris and around the world. The Whyd iOS app launched on Monday, and we’ve witnessed an incredible response from the Whyd community, new music lovers, and the press at large with articles from Mashable, Forbes, Lifehacker (good old Alan Henry!!), The Next Web, Frenchweb, TechCrunch, and a lot more. 

But music is an extremely competitive space, and in order to get more visibility and inject even more energy into the Whyd community, we need you to go to the App Store and rate our app! Leave comments about how Whyd changed your life. Tell us why music is so important to you and why other services just aren’t cutting it. Give us 5 stars, or 4, if you absolutely hate the app ;)  

If you have a project that needs supporting, or an app that needs rating, send an email to us [tony at whyd dot com] and we will return the favor! 

Track of the Vampire Weekend #32: “Step”

A gigantic week for Whyd is coming to a close after our new Discover section launched on Monday, TechCrunch wrote about it, and new King of the World Whyd Ranking Alan Henry wrote a great piece about us on Lifehacker that came out last night. It’s been hectic, sleep-deprived, and one of the most invigorating times of our lives. A big welcome to everyone new! Fitting then that the track which spent the week among the top of the Hot Tracks is the calming, worldly, and dreamy sounds of a new Vampire Weekend single that signals the coming of their new album, scheduled for release in early May. 

Step" is a hypnotic lullaby that is quiet enough to be missed if you don’t listen hard enough. Full of New York and Classic references that will please most lofty Vampire Weekend fans, it was first added to Whyd by Caracole and then propelled to the epic heights of the Hot Tracks by one of Whyd’s most faithful and dedicated music lovers: Aline. It is exactly the track we need to repose into the weekend. 

Follow Aline and Caracole on Whyd, and please, never stop jamming!
