Discovering new music can be quite an adventure and may lead to finding music which you will hear on repeat for a long time. Currently, ListenBrainz offers many ways to do it, like Fresh Releases, Hue sound, Similar Users and many more.
Another powerful discovery tool which can be added to suite is an Artist Similarity Graph. It will provide an intuitive way for the users to analyze relationships between artists. In this way, the users can get exposure to new artists with a music style similar to their favorite artists.
This project aims to provide a pleasant UX for the same, while delivering the following features in the UI:
1. Display a graph of related artists.
2. Link to artist's MusicBrainz profile.
3. Play artist's most popular album.
4. Play the most popular recording.
