Spotify adds 'Lyrics' button to help you sing along

Digital music streaming service Spotify has introduced a 'Lyrics' button to its desktop player giving users the ability  to sing along more easily.

The new feature is powered by Musixmatch, the world’s largest lyrics catalogue and is accessed using the new Lyrics button, which is located next to the play bar. Hitting the button while a song is playing will fire up the lyrics on screen.

Users can also search for lyrics from Spotify's top tracks using the Explore feature.

The latest update to Spotify marks the brand's move away from third-party apps. Since 2014, Spotify has been gradally phasing out apps and integrating the most popular features into Spotify Desktop.

Along with the new Lyrics button, Spotify's new update will also include an improved Friend Feed which users can scroll through to see what playlists, songs and artist their friends are listening to.

The desktop service will also include daily viral charts including the most shared tracks and region-based play counts.

The update will roll out to Spotify desktop users in the coming weeks.

Spotify launched in Sweden in 2008 and is now the biggest music streaming service of its kind with 60 million users worldwide, and over 15 million paying subscribers.
