You just ask the Song Psychic a question and it will answer with a selected track.
Spotify has launched a fun and funky new music discovery tool, of sorts, in the form of its Song Psychic.
The feature is available now and lets you askSpotifyany of a long list of pre-composed questions about situations you might encounter in life, from small things like what you should have for lunch to bigger worries like whether your career is heading in the right direction.
Having selected your question (chosen from a list of topics to help narrow things down), you’ll place your finger on the screen while Spotify “contemplates” the answer.
It’ll then come up with a single song that gives you the message, the title of which is likely to be the biggest clue.
If you don’t have a burning question in your mind, there’s also a handy button to randomly select a question for you, making it easy to do a few in a row to see how things work.

It’s a fun little feature, though, and there might well be people out there who find it’s a useful way to focus their mental energies on questions that they should be considering, but perhaps aren’t.
In the small print attached to the feature, Spotify is at pains to confirm that the answers selected to its questions are completely random, though, reiterating that “Song Psychic was created as a fun experience and absolutely, positively, without a doubt cannot predict the future.”
Whether that robs the experience of some of the fun for you might be down to your attitude, but it at least dispels any possible notions of creepy AI calculations or algorithmic peeping.
