Overview

  • Sound Therapy is now live exclusively on Apple Music, offering playlists enhanced with auditory beats and colored noise to support wellbeing.
  • The playlists are divided into three categories—Focus, Relax, and Sleep—each targeting specific brain responses using gamma, theta, or delta waves.
  • Developed by Universal Music Group's Sollos team, the feature uses science-backed techniques to transform songs while preserving the artist's original vision.
  • The collection includes extended, instrumental versions of tracks from artists like Katy Perry, Imagine Dragons, Kacey Musgraves, and Sam Smith.
  • Apple and UMG emphasize that Sound Therapy is designed to promote general wellness and is not intended as a medical treatment.
