Instagram’s new music feature resembles Myspace songs from the early 2000s and is launching with an exclusive teaser of pop star Sabrina Carpenter’s new song.
A new feature announced by Instagram today will allow users to add a song on their profile — much like Myspace in the early 2000s. The music added to a user’s profile shows up in the bio area, according to screenshots shared by Instagram. A song will be featured on a profile until the user removes or replaces it. But unlike Myspace, songs won’t autoplay — people viewing a profile with a song can play and pause the track.
From there, users will be able to select a 30-second-long portion of the song to add. Instagram is launching the feature in collaboration with pop star Sabrina Carpenter, whose earworm hit “Espresso” has been inescapable this summer. Beginning today, Carpenter’s official Instagram profile will include a teaser of a never-before-heard song, “Taste,” ahead of her album release on Friday. Instagram says the profile music feature is the only way to hear the song ahead of the full release.
