Twitter is expected to launch a music service today that suggests artists and songs based on the accounts users follow.
Twitter Music will suggest artists and songs to users based on “personalized signals” from a Twitter account. Users will be able to listen to music clips from inside the app, using third-party services like iTunes and SoundCloud.
The new application will also include video capabilities through Vevo, a music video service owned by Universal Music and Sony.
