Apple Music Lyrics Smarten Up with Genius
Apple Music is about to improve a bit with words.
The No. 2 music streaming service in the world will now show lyrics from the popular online music encyclopedia Genius. Under the same agreement,
The music service also becomes the exclusive web player for Genius in an agreement that could help attract more subscribers to the service.
Genius started as a site for hip-hop fans to provide annotations and song interpretations, but it has become a reliable online resource for lyrics in numerous genres.
The agreement, whose terms were not disclosed, is the latest partnership for Apple Music, as it looks for ways to attract more customers who pay at your service. The company in August began offering six months of its free music service to
customers, and recently spent a lot on marketing, including television ads in the United States during the National Football League games.
Apple Music subscribers who review the lyrics on the website or the Genius application can now play any song in its entirety from the song page. Non-subscribing fans will get a preview of the song for 30 seconds and then a sign up to subscribe to listen in full.
As Genius reaches more than 100 million unique visitors each month, 73% of which do not currently pay for a music subscription, according to comScore, the new potential audience for Apple is significant.

The agreement is also likely to be welcomed by fans and artists, who have often highlighted the inaccuracies in Apple Music's lyrics offerings, which can be shown for many but not all the songs on the service. The company has not disclosed details about how it has obtained its letters so far, but previously it has published job offers for a team of commissioners of letters.
In August, the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association tweeted on Apple Music a stir in the letter of the "Modo Sicko" list by Travis Scott. A line in which Drake raps, "Look at the shots I took, wet as if it were Book," a reference to Suns guard Devin Booker, which Apple had written as "Wet, as if reserved."
In January, Hayley Williams of the rock band. Paramore responded to a confused fan on Twitter asking about the lyrics of their song "Rose-Colored Boy": "Apple's music misunderstood many of my lyrics, but I'm not angry just disappointed." @Genius is usually correct, if you ever need it. "
Both cases have since been corrected in Apple Music.
"We have listened to many fans of both Genius and Apple Music who wanted us to work together," said Genius chief strategist Ben Gross.

Genius, incorporated as Genius Media Group Inc., started in 2009 as Rap Genius. It has since expanded beyond rap and lyrics, producing live video series and events and allowing artists to share notes on the creation of their music in all genres. Artists of Chance the Rapper and Eminem to Camila Cabello, Cardi B and Lin-Manuel Miranda comment on their songs and get involved with the fans on the site.
Genius letters are generated in a format similar to Wikipedia. Most are transcribed by admirers supervised by a small "staff of the community" of full-time employees who grant and remove editing privileges and moderate disputes. The letters and comments provided by verified artists are marked with a badge.
Genius has partnered with Spotify Technology SA since 2016 for the Behind the Lyrics feature of the service, which offers some lyrics and music trivia for approximately 3,500 songs, out of a total of tens of millions in the service. That was the same year Spotify ended his relationship with Musixmatch, who had been supplying his lyrics service; Spotify does not currently offer lyrics for most of its catalog.
