To commemorate the launch of Apple's Music's live lyrics playback feature, Apple on Monday posted a landing page featuring special video interviews with popular artists, as well as a new "Modern Masters" series and expansions to curated "Essentials" playlists.
Presented as a "special announcement" in Apple Music for iOS, the dedicated lyrics page throws a spotlight on the service's new feature. In iOS 13, Apple Music listeners can sing along to their favorite hits with a visualizer that scrolls through song lyrics in real time.
The special Apple Music page is topped by an image of Halsey, next to whom is a sample of scrolling text set to her song "Graveyard."
Halsey is one of six artists to take part in Apple's "Lyrics to Live By" interview series, which takes a closer look at the stories behind well-recognized song passages. Halsey discusses "Graveyard," while Hunter Hayes offers a breakdown of a memorable line in his hit "Madness." Natasha Bedingfield, SAINt JHN, YDA Cordae and Midland also take part in the series.
In addition to "Lyrics to Live By," Apple presents a "Modern Masters" playlist series with songbooks from Jack Antonoff, Benny Blanco, Brody Brown, J Kash, Bonnie McKee, Julia Michaels, Victoria Monet, Bebe Rexha, Ed Sheeran, Sia, Chris Stapleton, Starrah and Ryan Tedder.
Finally, a section entitled "Songwriting Gods and Goddesses" features selections from Apple's "Essentials" playlist series.
