Oftentimes when you fall in love with a piece of media, you also want to learn more about how it came to be. Apple's premium music and video streaming service now has all the behind-the-scenes footage you could ask for in one place.
Apple Music Showcases Session Musicians and Songwriters
On Friday, Apple Music added a new section dedicated to the passionate souls on the back end of the music production process. Behind the Songs lets you watch how today's top songwriters, producers, and session musicians created all your favorite tracks.
You can learn about certain songwriters and producers through their dedicated playlists, or peruse the many Apple Music playlist series. At the time of writing, the Featured Playlists, Legendary Songwriters, and Lyrics to Live By subsections sit at the top of the hub.
Engadget writes that Behind the Songs is "at the heart" of Apple Music's partnership with The Ivors Academy, one of the largest professional associations for songwriters and composers in Europe.
The Apple Music vs. Spotify Feud Continues
Apple Music presenting something like Behind the Songs was only a matter of time. Surely it wants to keep competitive with Spotify, which launched its Songwriters Hub at the tail end of 2020.
Apple Music is available for individuals at $9.99/month or for families at $14.99/month. Alternatively, Apple Music is also a part of every Apple One tier (packages that also include Apple TV+, Arcade, and iCloud storage).
