Here we have our first look at the new and improved Google Music app, which — surprise, surprise — is pretty much what we saw tucked into an early Ice Cream Sandwich build. Really, not a whole lot has changed in the whole Google Music experience as far as using the app goes. It’s been spruced up a bit, is all, and themed more for the ICS crowd.

As with much of today’s Google Music announcement, the new Artist Hub service is also subject to some regional limitations at present.
At launch, to upload and publish music through the Artist Hub, you must be a resident of the United States and its territories. The full list is as follows:

Google recently sent out invitations to an event on November 16th, during which the company will make a “special announcement.” The invite’s tagline says: “These go to eleven,” a famous quote from the popular comedy This is Spinal Tap that takes you behind the scenes of a rock band.
