Spotify Rolls Out 'Supergrouper,' Karaoke Mode
Mix and match your favorite artists into the band of you dreams
Spotify is launching a new “Supergrouper” in-app feature that lets you create a supergroup consisting of up to five artists.
After you create and name your group, Spotify will curate a playlist of songs from the artists you selected. You’ll also get a custom card that will let you share your supergroup on social media.
Although Spotify says the feature will let you imagine your favorite artists collaborating with each other, it’s worth noting that the new in-app experience won’t actually mash up content from different artists. Instead, the feature is a fun way to get a personalized playlist of your favorite artists while also sharing your idea of a supergroup with your friends and with others on social media.
Spotify also has released an update with a big new feature that allows users to be able to perform karaoke on the app.
The feature is only just being rolled out so may not be available in all regions yet. But it is essentially an update on Spotify's lyrics service where most songs have the lyrics available alongside the track.
To access the karaoke feature, select the song you want to listen to and scroll down to the lyrics. With the update there should now be a 'sing' button which you should tap to bring up a different lyrics screen. The feature also quietens the original track
