We had been in a position to see this function, nevertheless it’s not there 100%. There are nonetheless songs on the platform that don’t have lyrics accessible, so that can stay an issue.

We’ve seen a case the place one tune can have the reside lyrics, however one other tune (a tune that’s in the identical album, thoughts you) would have the older lyrics.
As time goes on, it’s going to make it to extra songs.
