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.
