Partnership Marks the First Time Deezer TV App Will be Available in U.S.
NEW YORK (May 09, 2017) – Today Deezer, the world’s most diverse and dynamic global music streaming company, announced the launch of its first U.S. Smart TV app in partnership with Samsung.
Available via Samsung’s Music tile, the service allows users to access their music in a single place on their Samsung Smart TVs. Through this partnership, Samsung TVs will be preloaded with the latest Deezer TV app and plan to feature content from the Deezer Next artists program within the Music tile. Deezer Next is a brand new, first-of-its-kind program to champion emerging music artists.
With Samsung’s new Music tile, users can discover and play songs right from their personalized Smart Hub. Users can search within their favorite services, playlists and radio stations to listen to old favorites or discover new music.
“As Deezer continues to grow its presence in the U.S., we’re thrilled at launching this partnership with Samsung given their leading position in the US and focus on entertainment” said Riad Hawa, Deezer VP of Hardware Partnerships. “We believe Deezer brings to this partnership the richest and most diverse music app for the TV today, supporting unique features like Lyrics and FLOW, perfectly suited for the big screen. Samsung TV users will be able to enjoy their favorite track and artists or simply enjoy the lean back experience of FLOW at a simple click of a button.”
“Being able to discover and listen to favorite music is a vital part of the home entertainment experience for consumers today,” said Won Jin Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’re pleased to welcome Deezer to our Smart TV platform as we continue to deliver on our promise to provide more ways for consumers to easily find and consume their favorite content to suit their needs.”
