Study Suggests a Link Between Musical Preference and Personality Type
Are one’s musical preferences a form of personality test? A new study conducted by the University Of Cambridge suggests that could be the case. A large scale study encompassing 350,000 participants, collectively hailing from over 50 countries and six continents, showed a linkage between one’s stylistic preferences when it comes to music and their personality type. During the study, participants were asked to complete a personality questionnaire and complete an exercise in which they ranked popular songs. Intriguingly, the linkage was found to be universal on a global scale, suggesting localized cultural influences were not confounding factors. “Ed Sheeran’s song ‘Shivers’ is as likely to appeal to extraverts living in the UK as those li...

Martin Garrix Reunites With Julian Jordan for Spine-Tingling Single, “Funk”: Listen
Another day, another new single from Martin Garrix‘s upcoming album. Sentio is due out on April 29th, but its creator seems intent on letting fans hear as much of its music as possible before it drops in full.

Here, the Dutch compatriots produce pulsing leads before morphing the arrangement into a tense build, which culminates in a minimal, spine-tingling electro drop. The riveting single was one of many unreleased records dropped by Garrix in his massive Ultra 2022 set, joining fellow S...
