Here’s what’s new in Envato’s music library and how these updates can take your work to the next level!
1. “Sounds Like” Search
Ever found yourself struggling to find the perfect track for your project? We get it—finding the right vibe using keywords alone is tough. With over 190,000 tracks in Envato’s music library—covering everything from Corporate and Cinematic to Hip Hop, Pop, Rock, and more—finding the perfect track can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
That’s why we’ve introduced “Sounds Like” Search, which lets you share a link and find a track on Envato that matches its vibe, style, tempo, beat, instrument, or even vocals. Think of it as your personal music-matching genie!
“We know from speaking to our users that music is hard to find using words,” says Marine Bassy, Head of Product at Envato. “With Sounds Like Search, users can search based on the type of track they are looking for based on what they’ve heard before vs having to describe it.”
How does “Sounds Like” Search work?
It’s simple: copy a link from a platform like Spotify or YouTube, drag it into Envato’s Sounds Like Search bar, and voilà—our feature will do the heavy lifting. You’ll instantly get a curated list of similar tracks, helping you nail that perfect soundtrack for your project.
Whether you’re working on a cinematic video project and want something with a similar feel to a song on your favorite Spotify playlist, we’ve got you covered.
Say goodbye to endless browsing and keyword guesswork! Whether cutting together an epic film trailer or creating background music for a podcast, this tool helps you find tracks that fit—faster. Your perfect audio is now just a link away!
2. PureHits
We listened to what our users wanted (more authentic music), and we made it happen! Introducing PureHits, your new go-to collection for authentic, high-quality tracks. Put simply, PureHits is a collective of talented artists who produce authentic tracks specifically for Envato so that you can take your projects to the next level.
These aren’t just background noise—they’re versatile, standalone hits that fit seamlessly into your creative work. Whether you’re producing a film score, a game soundtrack, or just need killer music for your podcast, PureHits produces tracks that feel fresh, genuine, and top-tier.
“While we have tons of high-quality music on Envato, most of it is intended to be used as backing tracks—songs that add to the vibe but don’t steal the show,” says Mark Brodhuber, Envato’s Music Specialist. We’ve received a lot of feedback from video creators that they’re looking for more ‘authentic’ tracks—intimate, entertaining music that you could hear on the radio or an album.”
The tracks in PureHits are created to shine on their own but are flexible enough to complement various projects. For instance, if you’re developing a game and need a track that matches your battle scenes and quieter moments, PureHits has the range to cover both with music that feels authentic and ready for action.
Get ready for more time spent creating and less time sifting through endless tracks. These hits are perfect for elevating your work, whether it’s the next big YouTube video, an indie game, or a slick ad campaign. Need something upbeat, emotional, or moody? There’s a hit waiting for you!
3. Envato’s Music Homepage
Envato’s new music homepage is your hub for all things music. It features trending tracks, curated collections, and educational content to help you maximize your creative process and find tracks that elevate your projects.
“We really want to streamline music discovery for Envato users—video creators in particular—with an intuitive and efficient category experience,” says Marine.
Our streamlined music hub makes it super easy to stay on top of what’s trending, saving you time while ensuring you’re always working with the freshest sounds. Plus, you’ll find inspiration in curated collections that spark creativity for your projects.
