Google Play Music gets a fresh new Material design update for the web


Google today launches a redesign version of the Google Play Music website. It's a browser based version to the iOS and android apps and gets a little bit of love. The new design looks a lot like the mobile apps, with a bright orange header, collapsible sidebar, and full-width background images for some pages.

The website also adds a handful of new keyboard shortcuts and even a handy popup player with easy access to your music queue. Other than the new colors and layout, Google Play Music has tons of new little animations. Pages fade in when loading, and tab indicators smoothly slide over to the new tab, rather than just popping into place like a normal page. The navigation drawer slides into view and the song queue grows out of the bottom right corner.

"We're moving towards making the web feel more like an app and less like a series of web pages strung together by links. The new header, the slick transition as you scroll, the collapsible nav, new animations, these all feel like things you expect in an app not on the Web.", said Google UX design Bryan Rea.

If you don’t see the changes yet on your side, don’t worry. It’s a gradual rollout and you should be seeing it in the coming days. Thanks for reading. Please like and share it :)
