apple musicWhile having exclusives is no doubt a boon, having features that makes users want to stay also helps to ensure that the churn rate is low, which is what Apple appears to be doing in their search for a lyrics curation manager. This job posting was spotted by Music Business Worldwide in which it reveals what Apple might have in mind for their music streaming service.

According to the job listing, “We’re looking for a manager to lead a team of lyrics curators with excellent writing skills, music knowledge, and attention to detail. Passion for technology and a will to question the current workflows with the mindset to improve tools and processes. General understanding, love, and ideally, experience in writing lyrics.”

It should be noted that Apple is planning on bringing support for lyrics in Apple Music come iOS 10, but right now it is unclear as to how Apple is getting those lyrics, whether it be that they are aggregating them from other websites, or if they are being provided by the labels themselves, or if they are transcribing them in-house.

It is also unclear as to what the exact role a lyrics curation manager will fulfil at Apple Music, but if anything it does sound like they’re definitely trying to beef up the platform’s features.
