Spotify

Music has always had the power to offer solace during life's challenges and uncertainties. Now, imagine if it could also help you decide what to have for lunch or whether to pursue clown school. Spotify's innovative Song Psychic feature makes this possible by combining cosmic guidance with music to navigate life's small mysteries. Intrigued? Read on for a detailed guide on Song Psychic and how to use it within Spotify.

Song Psychic offers an interactive experience within the Spotify app, allowing users to pose pre-selected questions about their lives, trivial matters, or random topics. These questions are answered through song suggestions. Spotify unveiled this feature in February, and it is accessible to both free and Premium plan subscribers.

One captivating aspect of Song Psychic is its retro psychedelic crystal ball-style animation and sound, evoking memories of classic Scooby-Doo cartoons. It provides a lighthearted way to pass the time and have some fun, particularly if you're in the mood for something whimsical. However, it's important to remember not to take any of its suggestions seriously.

Open the Spotify app and tap on the Search icon located in the bottom toolbar.

In the search bar, type "Song Psychic" and select the Song Psychic suggestion labelled as Genre from the search results.

Tap on "Get Started" to begin the interactive experience.

Choose a category of your preference and then tap on "Tap to type" to proceed.

This will display a list of questions. Select the question you want to ask or use keywords to search for specific questions. (Note: You cannot input your own questions in this section.) Once you've selected a question, tap on "Submit".

Wait for Spotify to find a suitable track to answer your question.

To listen to the suggested song, tap on "Play on Spotify".

If you're not satisfied with the suggestion, tap on the replay icon to let Spotify use its psychic powers again and recommend a different track.

Alternatively, tap on the share icon to send a snippet of the recommended song to your friends.
