Spotify is giving Premium subscribers more control over its AI DJ, including new voices, distinct presentation styles and an option to remove most commentary between songs.
The update adds seven English voices with British, American, Irish, Australian and Indian accents, plus two Spanish voices. Each has a defined tone, such as relaxed, direct or witty. Spotify’s original voice, X, remains available, while the new Spanish voices replace the previous Spanish option.
Listeners who want the DJ’s music selection without frequent explanations can disable between-set commentary. In that mode, the system speaks briefly when the session starts and ends but otherwise behaves more like a continuous playlist. Users can choose voice and commentary settings from the DJ’s three-dot menu and still press the DJ button to change genres, artists or recommendations.
Spotify says more than 94 million Premium listeners use AI DJ. The new controls began rolling out on November 10 in more than 95 markets where the feature already operates. Voice availability is broader than language support: the DJ currently supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese, so not every supported language receives multiple new personalities.
