Spotify AI DJ Gets Nine New Voices and Option to Turn Off Commentary

Spotify is giving its AI-powered DJ feature more customization options, allowing Premium subscribers to choose from nine additional voices and turn off most of its spoken commentary between songs.

Announced on November 10, the update introduces seven new English-speaking voices with different accents and personalities, alongside two new Spanish-speaking options. The original DJ X will remain available.

The changes give listeners more control over how their personalized music sessions sound, whether they prefer a radio-style experience with a host or uninterrupted music in the background.

Meet the New Spotify DJ Voices

The seven new English voices cover American, British, Irish, Australian, and Indian accents. Each also comes with its own personality:

• Casey (US): Laid-back, warm, and relaxed.
• Tess (US): Direct and inviting, with a bit of an edge.
• Lane (US): Has a Southern accent and a youthful, positive energy.
• Sam (Australia): Outgoing, fun, and not too serious.
• Nell (UK): Mellow, slower-paced, and knowledgeable.
• Declan (Ireland): Straightforward, passionate, and a bit of a music enthusiast.
• Nisha (India): Welcoming and energetic.

Spanish-speaking listeners also get two new Mexican voices: Nico, described as down-to-earth and approachable, and Fabi, who is witty and friendly.

Turn Off the DJ’s Commentary

Another notable addition is the ability to disable most of the DJ’s spoken commentary between songs.

Previously, Spotify DJ would introduce music selections and provide context about the tracks and artists. With the new setting, listeners can keep the personalized music recommendations playing without the regular interruptions.

The DJ will still provide brief acknowledgements when starting a session or when users press the DJ button to change the music selection. This makes the feature more suitable for situations where users want background music without having a virtual host constantly talking.

How to Change Your Spotify DJ Voice

To access the new options, open the Spotify app on your phone and search for DJ. Open the feature, tap the three-dot menu, and choose your preferred voice and commentary settings.

Once configured, simply press play to start your personalized listening session. You can also tap the DJ button to switch to another genre, artist, mood, or set of recommendations.

Spotify says the new voices and commentary controls are rolling out starting November 10 to Premium subscribers in markets where DJ is already available.

According to the company, 80% of DJ listeners return to the feature week after week, making these additions a way to give regular users more control over their listening experience.
