Apple introduces Apple Music Sing, a new feature that allows users to sing along to their favourite songs with adjustable vocals and real-time lyrics. This is achieved by using a vocal slider which adjusts vocal volume, but does not fully remove vocals. Apple Music Sing also offers multiple lyric views to help fans take the lead, perform duets, sing backup and more. The new feature will be available later this month to Apple Music subscribers worldwide (except Voice Plan subscribers) and can be accessed on iPhone, iPad, and the new Apple TV 4K.
Apple Music Sing features
- Adjustable vocals – Users now have control over a song’s vocal levels. They can sing with the original artist vocals, take the lead, or mix it up on millions of songs in the Apple Music catalogue.
- Real-time lyrics – Users can sing along to their favourite songs with animated lyrics that dance to the rhythm of the vocals.
- Background vocals – Vocal lines sung simultaneously can animate independently from the main vocals to make it easier for users to follow.
- Duet view – Multiple vocalists show on opposite sides of the screen to make duets or multi-singer tracks easy to sing along to.
Apple Music will also be launching a suite of more than 50 dedicated companion playlists featuring all of the epic songs, duets, choruses, and anthems that have been compelling people all around the world to sing — fully optimized for the Apple Music Sing experience.
Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Apple Music and Beats said, “Apple Music’s lyrics experience is consistently one of the most popular features on our service. We already know our users all over the world love to follow along to their favourite songs, so we wanted to evolve this offering even further to enable even more engagement around music through singing. It’s really a lot of fun, our customers are going to love it.”
