Every Thursday, we bring you an app that\u2019ll change your life. This week, it\u2019s the turn of Genius, a lyric and song interpretation app.<\/p>\n
Genius, or Rap Genius as it was previously known, is one of the internet\u2019s best loved lyrics sites. Not only does it offer all your favourite lyrics, it also offers in-depth interpretations of the lyrics created by the loyal Genius community.<\/p>\n
The app has been around for a while on iOS, but the Android version was only released a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n
Genius offers a line-by-line interpretation of your favourite songs, which means you can learn exactly <\/em>what a song is about. The community seems to consist of some well-informed individuals who are passionate about music, which means the interpretations make sense and are often backed up by evidence. In fact, sometimes the interpretations are provided by the artists themselves.<\/p>\n With over 1.7 million songs, you\u2019re pretty much guaranteed to find what you\u2019re looking for too.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll no longer have to make up stuff when singing along to a song, which should save you some embarrassment out and about. You\u2019ll also gain a deeper knowledge of your favourite songs, which makes them more enjoyable and makes you look dead clever down the pub.<\/p>\n As the site began with a focus on rap, hip-hop tracks tend to have the strongest interpretations; other genres can be slightly hit and miss (although mostly hit). You can always submit your own interpretations, though.<\/p>\n Download Genius on iTunes<\/a> | Download Genius on Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Give our own surprisingly easy app a go too; it allows you to scan your stuff for an instant price!<\/p>\n Download musicMagpie on iTunes<\/a> | Download musicMagpie on Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every Thursday, we bring you an app that\u2019ll change your life.
