With Spotify audio metrics

Spotify's API has an endpoint that provides data on the audio of a given track. Two of the provided metrics are valence and energy which are used the graph the selected songs.

Valence?

"A measure from 0.0 to 1.0 describing the musical positiveness conveyed by a track. Tracks with high valence sound more positive (e.g. happy, cheerful, euphoric), while tracks with low valence sound more negative (e.g. sad, depressed, angry)." - Spotify API Documentation

Energy?

"Energy is a measure from 0.0 to 1.0 and represents a perceptual measure of intensity and activity. Typically, energetic tracks feel fast, loud, and noisy. For example, death metal has high energy, while a Bach prelude scores low on the scale. Perceptual features contributing to this attribute include dynamic range, perceived loudness, timbre, onset rate, and general entropy." - Spotify API Documentation

Method

As you can the graph works with valence on the X-Axis and energy on the Y-Axis, and songs are graphed accordingly.

  • Happy: High valence (positive) and high energy.
  • Chill: High valence (positive) and low energy.
  • Sad: Low valence (negative) and low energy.
  • Angry: Low valence (negative) and high energy.

Disclaimer

These two audio metrics from Spotify do not take into account lyrical content
