Universal Music Group and Apple Music Partner to Launch Sound Therapy

Universal Music Group and Apple Music have united to produce an "audio wellness collection" called Sound Therapy.

Why it matters:

• Sound Therapy is designed to help listeners attain clearer focus, deeper relaxation and better sleep.

• It is available only to users of Apple Music.

How it works:

• It was designed by a team of producers, scientists and audio engineers at Sollos, a music wellness venture incubated within UMG.

• It features extended, instrumental and reimagined versions of tracks by artists such as Imagine Dragons, Katy Perry, Kacey Musgraves, AURORA and more.

• The songs have been enhanced with auditory beats or colored noise to help encourage specific brain responses, under the categories of focus, sleep and relax.
