Spotify users can now choose from seven new English accents and two Spanish voice options for their AI DJ, alongside a new toggle to reduce commentary between songs, Digital Trends reported.
The feature first launched in 2023 and quickly became a staple for the streaming platform. Over 94 million Premium listeners now use the DJ, with 80% of those listeners engaging with it every week.
The updated lineup includes voices with British, American, Irish, Australian, and Indian accents. Spanish speakers gain two new voice options, replacing the earlier voice known as Livi.
Each new voice comes with a distinct persona. Casey offers a laid-back and warm American tone, Tess brings a direct and edgy style, and Lane provides a youthful Southern energy.
Other English options include Sam from Australia, Nell from the UK, Declan from Ireland, and Nisha from India. For Spanish speakers, Nico provides a down-to-earth presence, while Fabi delivers a witty and friendly delivery.
The original voice, X, remains available alongside the new additions. The expansion rolls out to Premium users in markets where the feature is currently supported, TechCrunch reported.
Listeners who enjoy the automated curation but dislike frequent interruptions can now silence the between-song commentary. Spotify introduced a toggle designed to keep the music flowing continuously.

This setting proves useful for background listening scenarios, such as dinner parties, where continuous song playback is preferred over spoken introductions. The DJ does not go entirely silent, as users still hear a quick acknowledgment when starting a session or changing the mood.
To access these new controls, users search for the term “DJ” in the Spotify app, open the three-dot menu, and select their preferred voice and commentary settings.
