Need advice on your love life or career?
Spotify
thinks it has the answers, courtesy of its just-launched “Song Psychic” feature. On Spotify’s website,
Song Psychic
offers
customised song recommendations
in response to users’
burning questions
.
Part mystical oracle, part musical Magic 8-Ball, the new offering allows users to pick from nine topics and then pose questions to receive
prophetic playlist picks
. Queries range from “Should I go on this date?” to “What should I eat for lunch today?” After a dramatic contemplation sequence, the feature matches your question with a song it deems the perfect response.
Once Song Psychic reveals your tune-based destiny, you can listen to the full song right within Spotify. And if you are looking for more cosmic guidance? Pose another question and await the musical answer. When you receive an appropriately witty or wise track, tap to share your reading via social media.
Spotify says that people are not only seeking advice from astrologers but also looking up to music for guidance. There are already 25,000 playlists on Spotify related to psychic themes, and some of the most popular songs added to these playlists include "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac, "telepatía" by
Kali Uchis
, "Stargirl Interlude" by
The Weeknd
and
Lana Del Rey
, "Cosmic Love" by Florence + The Machine, "Space Song" by Beach House, and "Crystal" by Stevie Nicks.
Early fans of the feature include rapper
Baby Tate
, who received an encouraging cut after asking if she should attend clown college. “It gave me an amazing answer: my song ‘Yasss Queen.’ It’s so chaotic but SO good," said Tate. "I can’t wait to ask Song Psychic more silly questions and see what songs I’m recommended!”
While framed as a “mystical experience,” Spotify is clear that the Song Psychic results are randomly generated purely for entertainment. So, you might want to go easy on Spotify’s musical psychic. Though, it certainly beats flipping a coin and might just result in discovering your new favourite song.
The next time life throws you a curveball, share your problems with the Song Psychic and see what melodic messages the universe wants to share.
