‘Vinylly’ Dating App: Hits all the Right Notes for Women in WA

If you're a single person looking for love, you've probably spent time browsing the typical dating apps. Haven't we all? Ugh.

I'm intrigued by this new app called Vinylly. Created by Rachel Van Nortwick, Vinylly offers a simple, straightforward user experience. Or so they say...Let's check it out!

How does Spotify come into play?

Apparently, users are encouraged to link their Spotify accounts, providing the app with streaming data that helps the algorithm make personalized matches.

I definitely think music has a unique way of making us feel joy and connection—and studies show that listening to music triggers the release of dopamine, the brain’s "feel-good" chemical.

I also think certain music resonates differently with each of us. For many, the experience could be amplified when shared with someone else. I get that! So let's find out more...

Vinylly supposedly taps into this power of music by matching users based on their streaming habits and musical preferences, creating meaningful connections for those who value music as a core part of their identity.

Could Vinylly really work?

To date, they have successfully matched thousands. I recently found their Instagram and currently checking that out too.

Unlike swipe-based apps like Tinder or Bumble, which often rely on superficial traits or unverifiable bios, Vinylly’s focus is on real compatibility based on shared musical tastes. The result? More meaningful connections and fewer empty swipes. I'm still sceptical but it might be interesting to give it a try.

Beyond matchmaking, Vinylly also offers a unique feature: the ability to suggest live-streaming concerts or even in-person events for users to attend together. As live music returns to the scene, users can connect through shared experiences, further deepening their bonds.

The app works by allowing users to link their Spotify accounts to their profiles. No lengthy questionnaires or pressure to create the perfect first impression here. Instead, Vinylly’s algorithm analyzes your listening habits and suggests matches based on musical compatibility.

Sounds interesting huh? I may have to give it a try! It sounds like they are also finding ways to 'give back' and I like that!

'Vinylly isn’t just about finding love—it’s also about giving back. The app has partnered with Musicians On Call (MOC), a non-profit organization that brings live and recorded music to patients, their families, and hospital staff nationwide. During these challenging times, music has proven to be a powerful tool for healing, and Vinylly’s partnership with MOC ensures that the joy and comfort of music extend beyond just romantic connections.
