Among the names highlighted we've got Tayla Parx, Julia Michaels, Diane Warren and WondaGurl. Deezer advocates for women to turnaround being underrepresented in music - and you should take part!SHARE your favourite female artist and tell us why, you'll get your own Women's Voices badge to celebrate in style. 

As a user, we all love listening to playlists created for us by Deezer’s very own editors, who spend their days creating and optimising playlists for us all to enjoy. Having said that, should we wish to try our hand at creating our own playlists, whether for ourselves, or for our friends and families to enjoy, we can do so, but we probably have less time on our hands, so we need to be efficient. With this in mind, we have tidied up the journey for you, to allow you to quickly add that new “banging tune” you have just found for the party you’re hosting at the weekend. How does it work? It’s simple! Once you have created a playlist, you’re going to want to add a bunch of songs! To do this, simply open the options (three dots) menu of the song wherever you are, and you will find the option to add it directly to your newly created playlist.  NB: If you want to freshen up one of your other playlists, you will need to firstly add a song through the “Add to a playlist” menu, and the next time you want to add a song to this playlist, it will be directly in the options menu!

Have you heard that new song by that American singer still not very well known that sings about "I drive alone past your street..." and is number one in several countries right now? What about that song from the '80s that we can't remember the title, but it goes something like this: "every now and then I get a little bit lonely..."? If you don't know who sang them, no worries, "turn around, bright eyes", and see that we're now able to search a song by its lyrics on Deezer! If you don't remember the artist or the name of the track you're looking for, you can find the songs by searching for the lyrics on deezer.com. Type at least four words in the search and there you go! (Actually, this reminded me of that Johnny Cash song "there you go, you're gone again...", but I can't remember the title of this track!) Note that this feature will only work for tracks which have lyrics available - tracks without lyrics may not be searchable. Also, this option isn't available on kids profiles.  Going back to that song which is number one in several countries at the moment, did you find out which one it is?

Our music editor Yannick recently reviewed some albums that are now available in FLAC quality. If you’re a HiFi subscriber, you can enjoy these classic albums in 1,411 kbps Lossless, CD quality  Give them a listen and let us know what you think of these 5 albums. Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (1975)A classic for every audiophile. Following on the global success of Dark Side Of The Moon, Pink Floyd pays tribute to its first charismatic leader, Syd Barrett, with a concept album in the form of a space-time journey. Wish You Were Here combines classical instruments and synths in an impressive communion. Hovering and dreamy, this masterpiece deserves the best sound quality.Daft Punk – Random Access Memories (2013)Random Access Memories is a celebration of the sound of the 70s. The French duo recruited session musicians to perform live instrumentation in order to limit the use of electronic machines. The album features could not be more eclectic with Giorgio Moroder, Panda Bear, Julian Casablancas, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, Nathan East, and Pharrell Williams. The final result is impressive, you must hear it in Hi-Fi!Ludwig van Beethoven, The Symphonies / Karajan (1963)Herbert von Karajan recorded between 1961 and 1962 the first integral of Beethoven's symphonies in stereo. Its label, Deutsche Grammophon, supports this titanic project and enables this technological innovation. The result is striking: the quality of this recording propels us into the heart of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.Miles Davis – Kind Of Blue (1959)Kind of Blue is considered by many critics as the best jazz album of all time and Miles Davis' masterpiece. Recorded on March 2 and April 22 (1959), at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City, this album has considerable influence on jazz, rock, and classical music. Feel the magic of this album in Hi-Fi!Michael Jackson - Thriller (1982)Obviously, if we have to keep only one Michael Jackson album on a desert island, many would choose Thriller! With the help of the legendary producer Quincy Jones, Jackson released an album where "every song was a killer".. and he's right! Thriller explores different genres including rock, post-disco, funk, and pop. An iconic album to enjoy in Hi-Fi quality!

But some of you wanted your own login details too, so that you all don't have to share the same email and password. Times change, right? Well, once more, the community has been heard and we're ready to take our Deezer Family experience to another level. You now have the option to: create your profiles the same way as before (particularly useful for kids profiles) add an individual account to your Deezer Family - what you've been waiting for!

We're currently bringing a must-have feature in gapless playback  Have you missed out? Please see here for more info  For our HiFi users, the FLAC catalogue of tracks won't need any touches. But for our beloved Premium users, we'll need to work a bit harder… MP3's will need some work called re-encoding, so that we can remove the gaps from the tracks, one by one. It's a tough task, so for our iOS users, we were able to develop a nice little tool to help. And that's where we need you  Under your app settings, and in Deezer Labs, there's now a button to toggle the tool for MP3 tracks. This tool will apply gapless on MP3, without us having to re-encode the track: Our iOS tool for MP3 gap exterminationIf you're up for the challenge, we need to you to toggle the feature on This is a work-in-progress one, so please be kind - give it a go and let us know how it works. We know it won't be perfect but without your feedback, it's harder to get there     

Do you know those albums where you can't figure out when a track starts and ends? Melodies seamless moving from one to another, like an eager humming-bird from flower  to flower …  Of course you do! Put the philosophical moment aside, you've been asking us about this feature for quite some time now  We've worked and worked hard to finally deliver to you a standard you deserve: Gapless playback.  The feature isn't surely new to the world but it took some sweat to be implemented in our super vast catalogue. In fact, we're doing this gradually so that your listening experience runs smoothly, without any hiccups - literally   For those who aren't familiar with the technical stuff, this is what we're talking about: Audio formats such as MP3 and FLAC add tiny little gaps of silence before and after the track, which can be disruptive to listening when the content recorded wasn't intended to have gaps between each track -  a good example being a recording of a live album or concert.  Gapless playback will remove these gaps at the beginning and end, to offer an improved listening experience. For now, this is for our mobile Android and iOS apps - and for HiFi users only. This is because our FLAC catalogue doesn't need re-encoding (the tracks are ready for the feature) but our MP3's will need some polishing before everyone can enjoy it. And remember, there's no need to switch anything on, we've taken care of that for you  So if you're on Android and can't wait, update your app to 6.2.1 (you must be a Beta user) and if you're on iOS, this should already be a part of your life but if it isn't, you just need to wait a bit longer   For our desktop app and web users, don't worry, we're finishing it too  What's the first album you're listening to? Let us know below! I think you'll know my choice  Not on HiFi? Check out our offers here  Can't wait to get your Premium subscription on gapless too? Please see here for more info  It's being rolled-out gradually - so wait for your turn 

We know you love Deezer for your favourite tunes  But a lot of you are also podcast aficionados. You told us that, although Deezer has brilliant podcasts, the player doesn't offer the experience you expect. Well, we've listened to your thoughts and prayers (ultimately, your feedback ). The result: a much improved section, layout and options. To be a bit more specific, here's what we focused on: more space for podcasts & episodes description easy-access download button for episodes a progress bar to show where you're at displaying fresh, new, unplayed content You can also sort your podcasts by chronological order, duration or if played/not played  Our iOS users will also be able to manually mark/unmark episodes as played. A 'before and after' demo:   We hope you enjoy these improvements and let us know which part is your favourite addition! Our work won't stop here so we need you to carry on giving your precious feedback for a better Deezer    *remember to have at least versions 8.9 for iOS 13 and 6.1.22 for Android, installed 

Is it too loud?   Is it now too low?     The loudness of each song may vary from one to the next, but we can now get it sorted with our new volume normalization! This feature will be turned on by default and some users may think that it's now too low, but feel free to turn it off by following the procedures below: Favorites tab > settings > turn on/off the volume normalisation toggle.   Make sure your phone and app are updated! More info here. also, your feedback is highly appreciated :)    

After several months of hardwork and dedication we're thrilled to announce our new initiative! Deezer has launched a new website to show users how we want to make streaming music fairer for everyone by implementing a User-Centric Payment System, UCPS. We are aiming to launch our new payment mode early next year to give the power to subscribers to decide where their money goes. With UCPS, your monthly payments go to the artists you listen to, rather than the current market share-based system. Access our simulator on our special UCPS website - www.deezer.com/ucps. You’ll be able to discover your top five artists and exactly how much of your Deezer subscription is paid out to the acts you love. Share below any questions you may have and join in the conversation on social media with the hashtag #MakeStreamingFair. Let's make an impact in the music industry and get music streaming fairer for everyone!
