Apple has launched three new live radio stations: Apple Música Uno, Apple Music Club, and Apple Music Chill. These stations are free to listen to on Apple Music, even if you don’t have a subscription.
These stations join Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, and Apple Music Country, which again are free for all listeners even without a paid subscription. The hope is that listening to free music will also rope you into an Apple Music subscription. It also allows Apple to pad up active user metrics.
“Apple Music Radio is the beating heart of our service, representing the intersection of exceptional human voices and curation with cutting-edge technology that shapes and influences culture,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Music, Sports, and Beats, in a statement on Tuesday. “We put a lot of time and care into making sure these new radio stations are really bespoke, highly curated, and hosted by some of the world’s best music commentators with unique programming that we know our listeners will love.”
Apple Música Uno
Focused on Latin music, this station highlights styles like reggaetón, Música Mexicana, Latin pop, and more. Big names like Becky G, Rauw Alejandro, and Grupo Frontera will host special shows, while DJs Evelyn Sicairos and Lechero will run daily programs featuring curated playlists like La Oficial Radio and ¡Dale Play!.
Apple Music Club
This station is all about electronic and dance music, with mixes from top DJs around the world. Whether it’s a festival hit or an underground vibe, the music runs 24/7, so the party never stops. DJs Tim Sweeney and NAINA will guide listeners through mixes, with all tracks available later as DJ Mixes on Apple Music.
Apple Music Chill
Designed for relaxing and finding calm, Apple Music Chill has tracks from various genres, mindful breaks, and soothing programming. It kicked off with Beck’s new version of George Harrison’s Be Here Now. Brian Eno and other artists will also host shows focused on relaxation and well-being. This is a nice station to have on in the background while you’re working or studying and it’s what we’re listening to right now.
Apple points out its live stations are curated by real people, not just algorithms, to deliver a more personal music experience.
