Google Adds Music Search

Google has expanded its global media hegemony into music, partnering with Lala, MySpace, and a host of related services to offer music-specific search content. With the new features, Google searches for artists, lyrics, and song titles (in theory) generate a new section at the top of the search results page. Songs can be streamed from Lala, with links to iLike, Pandora, Rhapsody, and iMeem provided for further music exploration. The search function is a little imperfect right now--searching for "Moroder" produced no music results, whereas "Giorgio Moroder" offered Lala streams and music links. MySpace integration is also incomplete--searching for French Horn Rebellion's "Up All Night" produced no music results.

 

In celebration of the partnership/return to semi-relevancy, MySpace is now offering exclusive music from the following Murderers' Row of artists:

 

Lady Gaga 
Kings of Leon 
Green Day 
OneRepublic 
Norah Jones 
The Fray 
Snoop Dog 
Paramore 
Tim McGraw 
Bon Jovi
Linkin Park
Dead By Sunrise

 

Mashable is offering its predictions--iTunes, watch out!
