Find Restaurant Recommendations Based on Your Music Taste With Spotify, American Express, and Resy

November 27, 2024

Dining out for the vibes? You’re not alone. According to Resy’s 2024 Retrospective, ambiance plays a huge role when diners choose a restaurant—and nothing sets the vibe like music. That’s why American Express and Resy tapped Spotify to help music lovers find great places to eat based on their taste in tunes.

“Food and music are deeply connected, which is why we’re thrilled to partner with American Express and Resy to bring the Music Tastes campaign to life,” said Ann Piper, Head of North America Sales at Spotify. “Discovery is such a big part of the Spotify experience, enhancing fans’ daily moments. Now we’re taking that journey a step further by pairing listeners’ music behaviors with personalized restaurant recommendations.”

Available through the end of the year, our new Music Tastes by Amex in-app experience brings Spotify users restaurant recommendations in their areas. Here’s how it works:

  • Head over to https://open.spotify.com/presents/amexmusictaste on your mobile device or search “Music Tastes by Amex” in the Spotify app.
  • Select from one of eight cities: Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, San Francisco, or Washington, D.C.
  • Based on your streaming behavior, Spotify will suggest a Music Taste profile: Smooth, Hearty, Lush, Fiery, Buttery, Earthy, Saucy, or Fresh.
  • Just like that, Resy restaurant recommendations are served up based on your city and Music Taste profile. Tap “Book on Resy” to make a reservation.
  • After you’ve selected a restaurant, you can share your personal Music Taste on social media.

“Both American Express and Spotify provide personalized experiences for our customers that especially resonate with millennial and Gen Z audiences,” said Jill Hamilton, Vice President, Global Brand Advertising, American Express. “Whether it’s Resy’s in-app Discover tab or Spotify’s personalized daylist, we offer a unique opportunity for a customer to make the experience their own. This new digital program combines users’ love of food and music to help them find their next favorite restaurant.”

Spotify’s New Interactive Experience Helps Latin Music Fans Find Their Flow

It’s hardly hyperbole to say that Latin music has taken over the globe: Latin music streams on Spotify have increased by almost 170% in the last five years. From reggaetón to trap to hip-hop, Latin urbano music has found its place as a favorite among listeners, especially Gen Z. 

To celebrate and recognize the varied genres and musical styles within Latin urbano music, we’re launching a new experience, Find Your Flow, or Descubre Tu Flow, that gives fans bespoke playlists tailored to their musical tastes. The new interactive in-app experience will help listeners discover which Latin music styles best define them. 

How To Find Your Flow

When you enter the experience, you’ll be asked three questions about your tastes. We’ll combine your answers with your listening habits to determine your unique flow. 

The flows are defined by eight different personas. They are: 

  • Bichota: You are empowered and ready to dance. Your identity is strong. It’s not just a trend; it’s a lifestyle.
  • Perreadorx: The party is calling you, and you can’t miss it. You are adventurous, and the night is your favorite time of the day. Can you guess why?
  • Leyenda: You have a thing for classics; you start the perreo with “Gasolina.” You are always ready to play your anthems to become the soul of the party.
  • Romantic: Dedicating songs is your way of writing poems. You show your love with a verse, and as a true romantic, every lyric melts your heart.
  • Pegao: Your content is the most viral on social media. You know all the trends and dances. Singing with flow is your passion. You don’t miss a beat and are always on top of what’s cool.
  • Bellacx: The streets taught you everything you know about music. Your neighborhood always had the best beats to dance, twerk, and rhyme to.
  • Tóxico: You live your relationships through music, so you need an anthem for every aspect of your romantic life: breakups, infidelity, and jealousy.
  • Rookie: Your flow is not urban, but if you put your heart into it, you can get the party going.
