While Tom Yorke decides to withdraw his records Spotify, other artists such as Björk decide to seize the benefits of the software to distribute their music. And after a failure Kickstarter launches Android Biophilia. So, two years after the launch on iOS, the Icelandic artist decides it is important that the application is available for this platform as well.

As in the version for iOS, Android Biophilia is divided in 10 individual sections, one for each song on the album. The app also includes mini games , interactive art and some music creation tools . According to the website of the artist, the release of Biophilia for Android responds to the educational program under the same name you teach kids about music and other natural sciences. Björk also announced plans to launch a version for Windows Phone that probably already in development.

Important

Biophilia mention that Android will not be the last music application that is launched as a complement to the album. Recently, other artists like Lady Gaga also have turned to see the world of applications to expand their musical domain. In this case, with the release of his new album ARTPOP , Lady Gaga promised a full application of art, fashion and technology. On the other hand, we also have the case of Jay-Z who decided to give his last album, Magna Carta Holy Grail , a Samsung device users. Could it be that the music will start shipping this way too?

The reality is that it is good news that the artists are trying to sell through the digitization of music rather than trying to fight it. Yes, I agree that there are situations that harm but it is always better to try to join the enemy instead of fighting it (unless you’re part of Metallica). In this case, Biophilia for Android is a clear example of what could be the next step in music distribution. Hopefully over time more artists decide to join this trend and offer us another kind of experience with releases of their albums.
