Deezer Strengthens Sonos Partnership with Launch of Sonos Voice Control and New App Interface

Deezer is expanding its partnership with Sonos, as two major updates are delivered in June ​​– Sonos Voice Control, compatible with Deezer at launch, and a brand new Deezer interface on the Sonos App. With Sonos Voice Control, Sonos users will be able to stream their favorite music from Deezer effortlessly, using only their voice. The updated Deezer interface includes an improved user experience, with access to the Deezer exclusive recommendation feature Flow. 
 
"I am thrilled to see our partnership with Sonos grow and develop," says Charles Jaubert, VP Partner Strategy & Business Development at Deezer. "Deezer is the home of music and together with Sonos we continue to deliver outstanding innovation and listening experiences to our shared users. The combination of Sonos Voice Control, the brand-new look of Deezer, and Flow being made available on the Sonos app, marks another major step in a successful partnership which benefits music fans across the world."

Deezer’s product teams cooperate closely with partners to continuously deliver product excellence and create best in class solutions for users. Sonos Voice Control is the latest launch from Sonos, developed in collaboration with Deezer to ensure seamless compatibility. It works on every voice-capable Sonos speaker, processing requests entirely on the device. No audio or transcript is sent to the cloud, stored, listened to or read by anyone, guaranteeing the privacy of the users.

"Deezer provided excellent support as we developed Sonos Voice Control and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future,” says Joseph Dureau, Vice President, Voice Experience, Sonos.

Deezer currently offers music fans more than 90 million tracks and is available in over 180 countries worldwide. Deezer also gives HiFi paying subscribers access to the entirety of its music library in lossless FLAC (16-bit/44.1kHz) format. The revamped Deezer interface on the Sonos app will benefit listeners in multiple ways, including a more personalized listening experience with access to Flow, the Deezer exclusive feature providing recommendations uniquely matched to the listener’s taste and preferences.

Available now in the US through the Sonos app, Sonos Voice Control (SVC) is an entirely new voice experience that delivers fast, accurate, hands-free control of music in Sonos systems. Designed to effortlessly connect listeners to the content they love with unmatched privacy, Sonos Voice Control delivers the Sonos app experience using only voice.

Sonos Voice Control is now available to Deezer users on Sonos in the US and will be available in France later in 2022. The new Deezer experience with Flow included on the Sonos app is available globally from June 1.
