Each company has its objectives, Musixmatch is no different. Unfortunately all of this has not been enough to make a partnership with Spotify continue over time. Generating millions of dollars for the industry. We would like to thank you all and Thank you Spotify for that.įrom Friday, May 27 Musixmatch is no longer available within Spotify Desktop.įor every single lyric viewed there was a song played and therefore the impact Musixmatch has had on Music industry and then on artists, songwriters, publishers and labels has been very important. Millions of people every month have used us as an integrated part of the Spotify desktop experience. Hundreds of thousands of parties worldwide have had Musixmatch projected onto large screens, with people dancing and singing. The deaf world will now use this application in clubs, parties, schools everywhere where music is played.ĭeaf people have felt for decades the feeling of loneliness when music is played and now they can feel the music through vibration and feel the emotion through words. Well done guys you have without knowing it made 1 of the biggest impacts on the deaf world who do love music. The wedding which would normally be 2 groups, 1 group of hearing singing and laughing on the dance floor and the other the deaf group who would be sat down chatting, last weekend we had 2 groups hearing and deaf all on the dance floor singing and in the spirit as 1 group. This is one of the biggest steps forward for deaf people since the cochlear implant. You have no idea what you have made available to deaf people and the deaf community at large. Over the last weekend we had a large deaf wedding where I connected a laptop to a projector and screened the lyrics to each song with the help of the DJ with Musixmatch. Even small things like when our children play music and they want to share their joy of music with their mum was out of bounds.
Good afternoon I am a partner of a deaf person who has always enjoyed music, through my years of being with her I have seen her helpless feelings of not being able to fit in and enjoy what I enjoy at parties and at home when music is played. Deaf DJs had their own chance too But we will never forget this: Most importantly people with hearing impairments have had the chance to follow the words without being able to hear the music. Teenagers all around the world have used Musixmatch on Spotify in order to learn new languages through music, there are even schools that have used Musixmatch specifically as a teaching tool. Millions of people worldwide have had the experience of sitting at their desk pretending to work while actually listening to music moving their legs to the beat, headphones in ears and singing along under their breath. That’s for sure.Īs well as being the first streaming platform that has embraced the use of song lyrics, and in addition to all the other great features and user experience they have created (Offline, Discover Weekly, Playlist) Spotify has been able to make a name for themselves amongst people of all ages and of every nation even beating off competitors. Musixmatch has played an integral part of Spotify’s users acquisition. It was an Oasis CD and I listened to “Wonderwall” for hours reading the lyrics in the booklet while playing the CD in my stereo. My first experience like this was with my first CD which I bought from Nannucci Store in Bologna. When you bought a new CD you used to rush home, open it and carefully unwrapped the book of lyrics and then spend hours leafing through it taking in the smell of freshly printed ink on paper… You would sit on the sofa, booklet in your hands following the lyrics while the music playing. Users were taken back to the feeling they got when buying a new CD. A completely new experience in the modern world of music streaming. You could press Play, listen to music and read lyrics simultaneously. And We were right.Īfter years of lyrics being pirated everywhere at the expense of songwriters and music publishers, for the first time in music history, a Lyrics button would sit next to the Play button. We thought that from that moment, the way in which people had access to Lyrics would change. In January 2015 Spotify proposed to integrate Musixmatch into their Desktop app with a “LYRICS” button. From there it became a de facto standard.
Our beautiful Lyrics UI with Lyrics synched with the Music was a killer feature. It was pretty clear that we were filling a gap in the market and that users really wanted lyrics while listening to their streamed music Our approach was a success. We immediately had an incredible amount of success, climbing to the top of lists of the most used apps in countries where Spotify was available.
The partnership between Musixmatch and Spotify began in 2011, when they launched in the App store
