Resso, the world's first social music streaming app, officially launched in India on Wednesday. Designed for a new generation of music enthusiasts, Resso offers a unique, easy-to-use product experience that empowers users to discover, express and experience music in a completely new way. 

Social sharing is at the center of Resso’s user experience, a first in the music streaming industry. With lyric sharing and the ability to express themselves through user generated content, Resso brings the next-generation of immersive listening experience online. The app's exclusive and easy-to-use social features enables users to instantly connect with a larger community: 

• Vibes allow users to uniquely express themselves by creating videos, gifs or pictures based on a song that they can share, along with lyrics.
• Comments allows music enthusiasts with similar tastes to connect and engage with each other.
• Lyric Quotes enable users to select and share their favourite lyrics and express their state of mind.

Commenting on the launch, Hari Nair, Head of Music Content and Partnership, RessoIndia said, "Resso is designed to revolutionize how users consume musicby filling the longstanding gap between music streaming and interacting with other listeners. With the launch of Resso in India, our objective is to empower users to express themselves and connect with like-minded individuals through music.” 

Hari added, "Gen Z and millennials are at the core of our offering and both music and social networking are central to their daily lives.  Our goal is to encourage them as well as everyday music listeners to express themselves in an interactive and engaging way. The relationship between music and the listener is currently passive, with Vibes, Comments and other features, Resso aims to transform this through a new and compelling music streaming experience." 

The Resso interface is specifically designed to provide instant engagement for any user as well as easily discover new music. Immediately at launch, the app plays music in an unlimited scroll format, introducing new artists and letting fans easily discover genres and songs.

For example, genres are divided into alternative, experimental, fusion, post rock, indie rock while sub-genres have further been segregated into niches like - popgaze, bow pop, indie psych pop and ambient to name a few.

Resso's interactivity is not limited to users but extends to artists as well. The app empowers artists to reinvent their catalog by providing a fresh way for fans to engage with their music and introduces them to new listeners.
