Soundwave’s latest update hits right note

After a year of users "screaming" for an instant messaging function to aid their musical discoveries, the founders of Irish-based music app, Soundwave have given the people what they want.

The company, heralded as the “Instagram of music” yesterday unveiled the most significant update to the app since its launch in June 2013, allowing users to chat, share and create playlists with each other.

Soundwave CEO, Brendan O’Driscoll, said that the app’s ability to keep track of what people are listening to sets it apart from the crowd.
