Qobuz Partners With LyricFind for Real-Time Synchronized Lyrics

LyricFind has been named the provider of synchronized lyrics and translations for French streaming and download platform Qobuz, powering its new real-time lyrics feature.

Why it matters:

• Every lyric on Qobuz is fully licensed, with royalties flowing back to the appropriate songwriters and publishers.

• The real-time lyrics feature allows subscribers to follow songs in sync with the music, with a growing selection of tracks available in up to six languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese.

• Artists and managers can influence how their lyrics appear on Qobuz through LyricFind’s Verified Artist Program, which allows verified artists to add, edit, and synchronize lyrics across LyricFind’s partner services, and submit their own translations for fans in every market.

• The feature is part of a broader redesign for Qobuz’s player for phones and tablets.

What they said:

• Axel Destagnol, Chief Product Officer at Qobuz: “Our subscribers come to Qobuz to listen closely and understand their favorite music more fully. Lyrics are a natural part of that, and we wanted a partner who treats them with the same care we give to sound and credits. With LyricFind, our listeners around the world can follow the songs they love in sync with the music.”

• Darryl Ballantyne, Founder and CEO of LyricFind: “Qobuz’s commitment to presenting music with depth and integrity makes it a natural fit for LyricFind. Pairing that high-resolution sound with accurate, licensed lyrics and translations makes Qobuz a premier destination for serious listeners, and we're proud to support its growth while generating new revenue for the songwriters and publishers behind the music.”
