Shazam update features real-time lyrics syncing provided by Italian company Musixmatch

Popular music recognition service Shazam (recently acquired by Apple) is out with a new version of its iOS app.

According to Shazam, the update includes a brand new design of the song page, with support for real-time lyrics. The lyrics are provided by Italian company Musixmatch - created by Massimo Ciociola and based in Bologna (basically the world's largest lyrics platform, where users can search and share lyrics).

Here’s the full change log of the app, according to an official press release:

Your Shazams have a new look!

Once you’ve named that tune, you’ll see a brand-new song page with the following features:

Lyric Syncing: Belt it like you wrote it! With our new lyric-syncing, you’ll see a song’s lyrics in real time, enabling you to not just sing along to any song you Shazamed but finally master those words.

Streamlined Results: Now when you Shazam a song, you’ll get the results and one big photo of the artist behind it—perfect for focusing on the music you were looking to discover in the first place. For more info, simply tap on the artist photo.

Everything In Its Right Place: We’re excited to introduce an all-new track-result menu that makes it easy to view song lyrics, artist videos, updates and more in a single tap. Or swipe.
