Spotify now lets you swipe on songs to learn more about them

Spotify is shaking up its user experience with a new "About the Song" feature that lets fans swipe through short story cards to learn more about their favorite tunes. The updated Now Playing View, currently available to Premium users in select countries including the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, brings a touch of nostalgia from VH1's 'Pop Up Video' era.

Upon scrolling down the screen, users will find swipeable story cards that delve into the meaning behind the music - a treasure trove of interesting details and behind-the-scenes moments sourced from third parties. To access these gems, simply slide through the card until you land on it and then swipe.

The rollout marks another significant feature update for Spotify, following recent additions like a group messaging feature and prompt-based playlists. While this "About the Song" feature is currently in beta form, it promises to enrich the listening experience of fans worldwide.

the 'about the song' feature seems kinda gimmicky tbh πŸ€” I mean, who actually wants to swipe through short story cards while they're trying to enjoy their music? it's like spotify's trying to be too extra and compete with tiktok or something πŸ˜‚ plus, what's wrong with just having a simple artist bio or lyrics section instead of all this... extra info πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

So they're trying to make us feel like we're part of an exclusive club with this 'About the Song' thingy πŸ€”. But let's be real, isn't that just a fancy way of saying we're being sold more ads? I mean, who needs a bunch of extra info about their fave tunes when they could just get some sick beats going on instead?

And what's with the nostalgia trip to VH1's 'Pop Up Video' era? Are they trying to make us feel old and out of touch? "Hey, remember when music was actually interesting?" 🎡 It's all about catering to the masses now. What about the artists, though? Don't they deserve a fair share of the attention?

It's like they're saying, "Hey, we're gonna give you more stuff, but it's not like we're giving you control over your own experience." That's just a recipe for disaster in my book. Time will tell if this 'About the Song' feature is actually worth the hype... πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
