Hidden Gem is a daily feature we’re implementing into our ever-expanding conduit of entertainment news. Hidden Gems are non-singles from albums that are arguably stronger than the actual singles. These blog posts will highlight those underappreciated and overlooked album cuts.

I’ve been sitting on the idea for quite some time. Initially, the plan was to introduce all of our new features on August 1, 2012 (IABG.com’s 2nd anniversary), but obviously that didn’t happen.

Unsurprisingly, I haven’t listened to every album ever released, so I may not be privy to every grand album cut. Requests are welcomed and may be solicited occasionally.

I will use Spotify, a free music streaming service, to embed the audio (download here). Most major artists’ albums are available for stream on Spotify, which is convenient for listeners and beneficial to artists. I’m aware Spotify isn’t available in all countries, so I will include an alternative link as well.

I think that covers everything. Expect the first Hidden Gem tomorrow soon!
