Spotify has finally begun the rollout of its real-time Lyrics feature after a bout of only offering it in a selection of countries.
As said by Spotify:
“Lyrics are one of the most requested features from listeners across the globe. So after iterating and testing, we’ve created an experience that’s simple and interactive—and even shareable. By partnering with Musixmatch, we’re bringing song lyrics to life through in-app access across the majority of our extensive library of tracks.
As of today, Lyrics are available to all Free and Premium users globally across iOS and Android devices, desktop, gaming consoles, and TV, so that millions of fans can connect with the music and artists they love on an even deeper level.”
The music streaming app has announced that it will be making Lyrics available to all global users; both Free and Premium, across platforms.
