A company spokesperson provided the following comment to Engadget when asked about the test: To be clear, this isn’t the same as the “Behind the Lyrics” feature that Spotify currently has. That feature displays selected snippets with some context provided by Genius, rather than complete lyrics you can sing along to. Engadget suggests that if Spotify keeps the full-fledged lyrics, the Genius option may be removed. The US implementation, as with the version in 26 other countries, continues to use lyrics service Musixmatch. There’s still no guarantee the feature will actually roll out more widely stateside — it’s a test, after all — but for those of us who can never remember lyrics, let’s hope it sticks around.
