Apple Music Sing will allow fans to sing along to their favorite songs and will be available to subscribers worldwide later this month. |
Apple Music Sing was announced by the Cupertino company on Tuesday, as a new karaoke experience that will be built right into the company's Apple Music app. Users will be able to sing along with Apple Music's real-time lyrics and adjust the volume of the vocals so that their voice is more audible.
The karaoke mode will offer users over 50
dedicated "companion playlists" featuring karaoke-ready songs to pick
from, along with animated lyrics that are designed to move along with the
vocals, according to Apple.
The company has also announced a few more
features that make it simpler to sing with others. The service will allow
background voices to be animated separately from the lead vocals, allowing
users to follow lines that are sung at the same time as the main vocals.
Meanwhile, a duet view will be available if a user wishes to sing along with a
companion.
Apple says it will offer users over 50
dedicated companion playlists featuring karaoke-ready songs that users can pick
from. The feature will also support animated real-time lyrics that are animated
and move to the rhythm of the vocals, according to the company.
Apple Music's lyrics experience is
consistently one of the most popular features on our service," Oliver
Schusser, Apple's vice president of Apple Music and Beats, said in a press
release.
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," he
added.
With adjustable vocals and real-time lyrics, Apple Music Sing gives fans more control and even more precise timing while they sing along to their favorite tunes.
- 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 catalog.
- Real-time lyrics: Users can sing along to their favorite 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 Sing will be available to users
later this month, according to the company. It will function on "all
compatible" iPhone and iPad models. If users want to try the feature on
Apple TV, they will need to use the recently launched Apple TV 4K, according to
Apple.
