YouTube Music has introduced a new feature called “Samples” to help you find exciting new music. This feature offers short video clips that give you a taste of different songs.

It’s like a sneak peek into the world of music, making it simple to find tunes you’ll enjoy, the company said.

Explore a Variety of Music with Samples

Powered by the vast collection of music videos on YouTube, the Samples feature creates a personalized feed of short videos. This feed takes you on a journey through the diverse range of music available on YouTube Music.

Whether it’s a fresh track from an emerging artist or a hidden gem from a classic musician, you’ll always have something new to enjoy. Each video clip gives you a glimpse of the artist, the music video, and the overall vibe of the song.

You can easily swipe up and down to explore different songs, making music discovery effortless and fun.
