Apple announced today that later this month, it will update its Music app with a new feature called Apple Music Sing.
According to Apple’s Oliver Schusser, its vice president of Apple Music and Beats:
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 favorite 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.
The feature is an extension of Music’s existing real-time lyrics. With real time lyrics playing on an iPhone, iPad, or latest-generation Apple TV 4K, users can adjust the lyric mix of a song, taking over the lead or backup vocals or singing along with the artist’s vocals. There’s even a duet view that takes up opposite sides of a screen for duets and multi-singer tracks.
Apple says it will be launching the new feature later this month with more than 50 dedicated playlists for users to use with Apple Music Sing.
