“Music is such an incredible global connector, and with Amazon
Music Unlimited we’ve been able to give listeners access to an
extensive catalog with the added experience of using their own
voice to hear music in so many ways with Alexa,” stated Steve Boom,
VP of Amazon Music. “Today’s announcement signifies an important
moment for Amazon Music Unlimited and our international customers
as we continue to offer more music fans all over the world a
completely new way to hear expertly-curated playlists and songs
from their favorite artists.”
Explore Voice-Forward Music Listening
Since first launching in the US in October of 2016, Amazon Music
Unlimited has expanded to the UK, Germany, Austria, Japan and more,
transforming music streaming with the ability to just ask Alexa to
play music by voice and creating the most natural listening
environment for millions of subscribers. Now, customers in 28 more
countries can ask for music from today’s most popular and trending
artists in a variety of ways. Looking for a specific song? Just
ask, “Alexa, play ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ by Demi Lovato.” Want to hear
your favorite artist? Ask, “Alexa, play Miguel.” Subscribers can
also ask for genres like, “Alexa, play rock music” or for specific
playlists and stations, “Alexa, play a ‘Classic Rock’ station”, and
“Alexa, play the ‘Brand New Music’ playlist by Amazon Music.” For
those who want to be surprised, simply ask, “Alexa, play music” and
Alexa will return a personalized station based on each customer’s
unique listening habits and available for endless playback.
Today’s Top Music Curated for You
In addition to streaming weekly new releases, subscribers can
also enjoy unlimited, ad-free streaming of thousands of
personalized stations and playlists designed for a wide range of
