Deezer adds Amazon Alexa voice control support

Deezer announced that it is adding support for voice commands with Amazon Alexa. This integration will begin gradually rolling out in 66 countries beginning today. Deezer will be available on the Amazon Echo and any other devices that support the Alexa voice AI system. The voice activation includes the option to directly request Deezer’s signature Flow lean-back listening option.

“Voice activation is on the rise, with a growing role in home listening and Deezer is proud to take centre stage in this evolution,” said Riad Hawa, Deezer’s vice president of hardware partnerships. “With one simple request, Alexa users will now be able to listen to any album, artist and playlist through Deezer, making it easier than ever to enjoy the music they love.”
