The problem
Keeping up shouldn’t feel like a part-time job.
A single gets teased on a story, a label confirms it in a newsletter, a blog posts the cover art, and it lands at midnight. Miss one of them and you find out a week late.
SoundRadar watches those places for you and turns the noise into one calm signal — only for the music you said you care about.
How SoundRadar works
Three steps, then it keeps watch.
Choose what you care about
Pick the artists you’d hate to miss, then the genres, regions and scenes you want more of.
Choose how loud it is
Instant for the artists you follow, a calm digest for everything else, quiet whenever you like.
Listen the moment it lands
We check every release before telling you. One tap opens Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music.
Inside the app
Everything new, nothing you didn’t ask for.
The real SoundRadar screens. Works in your browser and installs to your home screen.

Some releases never get a date. Those stay off the calendar, marked Date not confirmed yet — no countdown, no reminder, one alert when it’s real.
When the drops land
Midnight in Lagos is when the music lands.
You don’t have to stay up. SoundRadar sends one reminder the evening before and one when it’s out — and nothing between 22:00 and 08:00 unless you ask.
Right now it’s --:-- in Lagos. The next midnight is -- away.

About · Liner notes
Music travels through group chats, timelines, radio and blogs. Your radar should too.
We started with the scenes that are often hardest to follow from one app — Nigerian and wider African music, from Afrobeats and alté to amapiano and R&B — and built a radar that understands how those releases actually move.
- 01
Signal over noise
Only what you follow, only when it matters. Everything else waits for your digest.
- 02
Accuracy first
Sources on every release, a clear state on every date. Rumours never look like releases.
- 03
You set the volume
Instant, digest or quiet. Quiet hours by default. Change it any time.
- 04
Listen where you already listen
We’re not a streaming service. We find the release, check it’s real, and send you to Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music.
Artist and release names on this page are examples.
Start with the artists you never want to miss.
It takes about a minute. Pick a few artists, choose how loud your alerts are, and SoundRadar takes it from there.
