Spotify Unveils Innovative 'Song Psychic' Feature for Musical Answers to User Queries

Spotify is introducing a groundbreaking feature called 'Song Psychic,' designed to offer users answers to personal questions through curated musical tracks. Building on the success of Spotify's Wrapped, this new feature aims to provide a unique and entertaining way for users to engage with the platform.

How 'Song Psychic' Works:

To utilize the Song Psychic feature, users can visit spotify.com/songpsychic on their mobile devices or scan the QR code on the Song Psychic website. The feature allows users to select from a range of categories such as School, Friends and Family, Love, Career, Life’s Greatest Mysteries, My Future, Myself, Style, and Lunch. Each category contains pre-populated questions or the option to enter a custom query.

How to Use Song Psychic

Accessing Song Psychic is simple:

• Visit: potify.com/songpsychic on your mobile device.

• Alternatively: Scan the QR code from the Song Psychic’s website..

Once you enter the experience, you can:

• Choose a category: School, Friends and Family, Love, Career, Life's Greatest Mysteries, My Future, Myself, Style, and Lunch.

• Select a pre-populated question: "Am I the drama?", "Does my crush like me back?", "Should I go to prom?", etc.

• Type your own question: The app will suggest similar inquiries.

Adding an element of fun and intrigue:

• When ready, press your finger on the screen (not essential for receiving an answer).

• Witness a display of swirling colors and mystical music while your answer unfolds.

Unveiling Your Musical Answer

The answer to your query will be presented in the form of a song title. For example, a question about someone's feelings towards you might be answered with "You Wish" or a more positive song.

Embrace the Mystery:

• Similar to a Magic 8 Ball, Song Psychic may offer cryptic responses like "Why?" instead of direct answers.

• Vague timeframes like "Eventually" (by Tame Impala) might add another layer of playful uncertainty.

Sharing the Fun:

Share your musical answer with friends and family through various platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram Stories, Facebook, Snapchat, and more.

User Experience:

Upon entering a question, users are prompted to press their finger on the screen, creating a mystical ambiance with swirling colors and background music. The answer is then revealed in the form of a curated song title. For instance, questions like "Does my crush like me back?" might elicit responses such as "You Wish" or more affirmative titles. The answers are shareable through various social media platforms.

Entertainment and Shareability:

While the experience gives the impression of interacting with an AI chatbot, Spotify emphasizes that the answers are generated entirely at random and do not leverage personal data. The Song Psychic experience is intended for entertainment purposes only and includes a disclaimer that it should not be considered a serious source of advice.

Availability and Future Initiatives:

Song Psychic is available to both free and Premium subscribers in 64 markets and 21 languages. Spotify views this feature as part of its ongoing efforts to celebrate the spirit of Wrapped year-round. Various surprise, interactive experiences have been introduced, contributing to the platform's commitment to engaging both fans and artists.
