Apple Music Sing offers multiple lyric views to help fans take the lead, perform duets, sing backup and more — all integrated within Apple Music’s unparalleled lyrics experience. Coupled with an ever-expanding catalogue that features tens of millions of the world’s most singable songs, Apple Music Sing makes it fun and easy for anyone to participate, however and wherever they choose.

  Apple Music Sing will be available later this month to Apple Music subscribers worldwide, and can be enjoyed on iPhone, iPad and the new Apple TV 4K. The feature is not available for Apple Music Voice Plan subscribers.
  

  “Apple Music’s lyrics experience is consistently one of the most popular features on our service,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Apple Music and Beats. “We already know our users all over the world love to follow along to their favourite songs, so we wanted to evolve this offering even further to enable even more engagement around music through singing.
