... all those little stories and anecdotes are like a whole different layer of meaning... i'm kinda obsessed with this new feature already 
... it's like spotify is taking music streaming to a whole new level... can't wait for them to roll it out globally 
. I was always curious about the meaning behind certain tracks and now I can swipe away to find out 
. The fact that it's available for premium users first, but coming soon for everyone else, is a bit annoying, tbh 
. But I guess that's just progress right? The more features they add, the better Spotify becomes 
. Can't wait to dive into some juicy stories and get my music game stronger 
! It's like they're taking us on a journey through the history and meaning behind our fave tunes 
guiding us through the songs. The fact that it's exclusive for Premium users right now is a bit annoying, tbh 
, but I'm hyped that they're testing it in select regions first. Can't wait for this to roll out globally so we can all be part of the magic 
! And, omg, think about how it's gonna change our listening experience - it's like a whole new level of engagement 
!
On average, each swipeable card will cover around 150-200 words of song history... that's like reading 4-5 whole lyrics pages in one go 
. Meanwhile, global music streaming reached $44.1 billion last year and is projected to hit $64.8 billion by 2027 
The more you swipe, the more you learn - fun fact: users spend an average of 27 minutes per day on Spotify! 
.
The idea of swipeable story cards is genius 
- it's like having a mini documentary with your fave tunes 
. Can't wait for the global rollout & getting my hands on this feature ASAP 
!
this is gonna be a game changer for spotify, they're really stepping up their game and i love how they're incorporating third-party sources to make it even more legit 
i can see why premium users are getting exclusive access to this beta tool, but when does the rest of us get to join the party? 
it's so cool that you can swipe through and learn more about what inspired those artists to create such amazing music 
anyway back to music... have you guys ever listened to that one song by The Cranberries "Zombie"? 
! I mean, swipeable song stories? That's genius 
it's like having a personal music historian in your pocket 
Can't wait for this to roll out globally, would be awesome to see what other sick features they come up with next 
. The beta tool sounds awesome and can't wait for it to roll out globally 
. Anyway, this is a solid step forward for Spotify and I'm hyped to see what's next 
. Maybe they'll even bring back some of those classic playlists from the '90s?
