Twitter is reportedly about to release an application dubbed Twitter Music designed to help people find new music. The application is being built by We Are Hunted, a small Australian developer that Twitter acquired last year, and could be released on iOS by the end of this month.

Twitter Music will be designed to suggest artists and songs to it’s subscribers factoring in many on many variations, but will primarily be personalized based on which accounts a user follows on Twitter. Songs will then supposedly be streamed to the app via SoundCloud. Twitter Music, if it comes to fruition, will bring Twitter even closer to becoming a full-fledged media company.

Young, mainstream music listeners are a instrumental to Twitter who is constantly trying to draw that demographic of user into its services. Musicians (from pop stars to heavy metal) have some of Twitter’s most popular accounts, with followings in the tens of millions. The TwitterMusic account has 2.3 million followers if that tells you anything. It should be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel to launch a successful app with those starting numbers.

It appears that Twitter nor We Are Hunted are talking yet, as they have not responded to multiple requests for comment by RockRevolt™Magazine or any other publication from what we can surmise.
