Spotify’s newest feature allows you to sing along with your favorite songs in true karaoke style with the new ‘Karaoke Mode.’ The new function allows you to sing along to the songs on your playlist with the lyrics appearing on screen. The feature also scores you based on performance and your singing ability with "score cards" for the full karaoke experience. In order to take advantage of the new addition, consumers must ensure that their Spotify app is up-to-date and a ‘Sing’ button will appear in the top right corner of the ‘Lyrics’ screen.
The feature is perfect for consumers who have a passion for music and singing, or those who just want to test out their singing skills. The new feature is expected to launch on the Spotify app in the upcoming days.
