Alexa now available on Amazon Prime Music app

Amazon Canada announced that Prime Music listeners in Canada are able to request songs by voice with Alexa in the Amazon Music mobile app for iOS and Android. Listeners can now use voice features to hear the music they love wherever they go on Alexa-enabled devices. Prime Music, like Prime Video, is included in Amazon Prime subscriptions.

Prime Music listeners can easily ask Alexa to play music in a variety of ways, including by mood, genre or era. Alexa can also search by album name, artist name and more. This new feature combines the power of natural voice commands with a visual app experience.

To play music through the Amazon Music app on a mobile device, simply tap the Alexa icon and ask away.

Below are examples of how to search:

• Music by song name: “Alexa, play ‘New Rules’ by Dua Lipa”
• Album title: “Alexa, play the Everything Now album by Arcade Fire”
• Artist name:  “Alexa, play The Weeknd”
• Playlist and station: “Alexa, play the ‘Hockey Rock’ playlist” or “Alexa, play the ‘Today's Hip-Hop & R&B’ station”
• Genre: “Alexa, play hip-hop music” or “Alexa, play alternative music”
• Mood: “Alexa, play relaxing music”
• Era: “Alexa, play 90s rock music”
• Popularity: “Alexa, play the most popular songs by Justin Bieber”
• Chronology: “Alexa, play the latest song by Alessia Cara”

Prime Music launched in Canada last November, making it possible for all Amazon Prime members in Canada to listen to more than one million songs, along with hundreds of hand-curated playlists and personalized stations, at no additional cost to their membership. Listeners in Canada can stream Prime Music on Alexa-enabled devices and within the Amazon Music app for iOS, Android, Mac, PC, Fire Tablets, Fire TV Stick Basic Edition and on any Web browser at www.amazon.ca/primemusic. Customers who are not already Prime members can try Prime Music with a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime today.
