Spotify used to exhibit lyrics in its application, sourcing them from MusixMatch, but that romantic relationship ended in 2016. Now its back again yet again setting up these days, 26 markets will have a Lyrics button in the Now Playing Screen.
And those people’s lyrics will be synced with the track, form of like karaoke. As of a couple of hours ago this feature is available in the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, El Salvador, Uruguay, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong (lyrics are already available in Japan through a different partner).
Spotify now demonstrates synchronized lyrics in 26 new markets
Canadians participated in a beta exam of this function, but today they lose access – Spotify is not enabling this feature in the US, Canada or Europe. Not yet at least, the issue likely is licensing the rights to display the lyrics in each country.
In 2018 Spotify partnered with Genius for the “Behind the Lyrics” attribute that concentrated much more on backstory and commentary. Nevertheless, because then Genius has gotten very cozy with Apple. Additionally, that aged aspect did not display the complete lyrics & only fragments.
