If entirely new things is what you're looking for, you're not really looking for a recommendation algorithm [1]. What these algorithms try to achieve is finding unknown songs that are in the same genre to what people already like.

[1] Technically "random song not in listen history" would work out, if you'd really like to call that a recommendation algorithm.

But I also don't want a totally random song eighter. I want something that vibes with me but not directly recommended through my listening history, because then they are extremely similar and feels like they're feeding me the same melodies over and over. Thats why I tried to give the "vibes" in a different format; image, rather than my listening history.
