Google App introduced two new features for music enthusiasts on Tuesday.

Through its latest campaign #SelaluTauMusik (Always know about music), Google App has revealed a new knowledge panel, which allows users to get the most searched information about music without having to click on several links. This new system is said to give the most comprehensive information related to music, including musicians' profiles, songs and lyrics.

“Music is one of the most searched topics in Google among Indonesians. We’ve developed this feature to allow users to get the most comprehensive information faster through mobile phones,” said Google Indonesia search marketing manager Mira Sumanti in a press release.

Meanwhile, the second feature has been developed for musicians. Through this link, verified musicians, music labels or organizations can share the latest information on Google search engine and it will be shown in real time. 

Legendary musician Iwan Fals said in a press release that the new feature helped to share the information faster.

“I know that music enthusiasts tend to look for information on Google. Now, musicians can directly share the updates on the first page of Google. [This feature] makes it faster and [more] practical for all of us,” Iwan said. (kes)
