As indicated within the previous release notes, you can now explore deep audio insights across numerous sonic attributes throughout your music tracks. An example of Taylor Swift’s, Shake It Off is below:

As a fairly well known track, you can see how the attribute confidence analysis ranks, and to assist, here are a handful of definitions for attributes that may not come across quite so straightforward:
- Energy: The combination of a piece of music’s dynamic intensity, rate of change, and perceived inertia. Many factors combine together to give music a feeling of energy: tempo, orchestration, loudness, unpredictability, register, dynamic contrasts, and directionality.
- Aggression: Measures the emotional content of the sound of the music. It does not take into account the lyrics. Observed patterns of sound levels, tempo, presence of distortion, surprising changes, syncopation, and occasions where the beat feels rushed accounts for higher aggression confidence.
- Tonalness: A measure of the strength of a tonal center or sense of key. Music without a consistent tonal center or music that, while conceptually tonal, is highly chromatic will register as low on the tonalness scale.
- Danceability: A view of how easy it would be to dance to a track. Please note: a Waltz is a dance and will register higher danceability.
- Partyness: Is just what it sounds like: how likely is this track to be played at a party. Does it have that special “party” vibe that will get people moving?
