Once you like a song on either streaming service, it gets added to a playlist. Deezer has a feature that lets you view the lyrics of a song as they’re being sung.īoth Deezer and Spotify allow you to dislike songs on some of their algorithmically-designed playlists, and you can specify if it’s the song you don’t like-or the artist in particular. Some songs on Spotify have a “Behind the Lyrics” feature, which comes from Spotify’s partnership with Genius, and explains certain parts of a song based on things the artist has said about it. You can view the lyrics to a song if an artist has uploaded them to Deezer.ĭeezer and Spotify both have similar functionality within their interface you can skip songs, like songs, add to queue, adjust the playback mode, and with Spotify in particular you can select which device to stream from. The Behind the Lyrics feature on Spotify is a great tool to learn about your favorite songs. Some songs have videos that play on the Spotify player. For example, Cornelia Street by Taylor Swift repeats a 5 second montage of pictures of her in nature. Spotify also supports animated cover art, so sometimes you’ll see short videos to playing during certain songs. When it comes to the actual music player, I think Spotify is a bit more attractive than Deezer, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Its “Home” page features recommended music for the current time of day, recently played music, new releases, and a “Made for You” section. Spotify’s interface is dark-themed and similarly very easy to navigate. The Music page has different sections including “Your favorite artists,” “Recommended playlists,” “Music by genre,” “Popular playlists,” and “Made for you.” Deezer has a bright user interface with lots of color, and a nice uniform font for everything. The background color of the main “Now Playing” section in Deezer changes color depending on the song you’re listening to.Īs someone who values aesthetics a lot, I have to say I’m impressed by both Spotify and Deezer.
