Amazon Prime Music launches new voice control features powered by Alexa


Online music streaming platform, Amazon Music has introduced a new innovative voice control powered by Alexa to enhance the listening experience. Available in both mobile apps and Echo family devices, users can ask Alexa to play their favorite songs which they haven’t listened for a while.

In addition to it, they’ve launched another feature that helps to create playlists or add to the existing playlists just by asking. Furthermore, Amazon Prime Music allows the user to go back and listen to music from an earlier point just by asking Alexa.

Also, users can ask for their recently played songs by artist, genre or time to make the listening experience even easier. On top of that, Amazon has also introduced the ability to ask, “Alexa create a new playlist from this song” or add a song from their play queue to an existing personal playlist.

Below are some of the command you can use in Amazon Prime music app:

Now, you can simply ask for recently played music by artist, genre, or time to make the listening experience even easier. For example, say:

  • “Alexa, play me songs which I recently played”
  •  “Alexa, play me the Arijit Singh song I listened to last month”
  • “Alexa, play me hip hop music I was listening to three weeks ago”
  • “Alexa, play music that I was listening to earlier today”

Rediscover your favourite songs you haven’t played in a while, and enjoy without the need to manually scan the search bar or listening history, just try:

  •  “Alexa, play songs I haven’t heard in a while”
  •  “Alexa, play Rihanna songs I haven’t heard in a while”
  •  “Alexa, play rock songs I haven’t heard recently”

While listening to Amazon Prime Music on Echo family devices, add a new song to a playlist, or create a new one by asking:

  • “Alexa, create a new playlist”
  • “Alexa, create a workout playlist”
  • “Alexa, create the playlist ‘My favorite hits’”
  • “Alexa, add this song to my playlist”
