Spotify Behind The Lyrics Annotations Come To Android

Spotify signed a deal with music annotation startup Genius to bring additional commentary about songs that users are streaming. It called this feature Behind the Lyrics. It had only been available on iOS since last year and Spotify has confirmed today that Behind the Lyrics annotations are now available for users on Android as well.

Spotify says that every day, millions of its users across the globe use this feature to find out the inspiration behind each lyric, to get a sense of what the artist was feeling at the time they wrote that particular lyric.

Starting today, Spotify users on Android can go Behind the Lyrics on Spotify’s curated playlists Behind the Lyrics: Hip Hop and Today’s Top Hits. Tracks on these playlists are going to include lyrical excerpts, fun facts, and stories from the artists themselves about the process that went into creating that song.

Spotify x Genius Behind the Lyrics on Android is rolling out today. Fire up the app if you haven’t already and take the feature for a spin. It’s going to add a completely new dimension to the listening experience. The feature allows you to gain a deeper insight into the creative process of some of the biggest artists in the industry.
