Alexa’s is reportedly getting a new feature that would make you actually enjoy getting up in the morning. Users will now be able to instruct Amazon’s voice assistant to wake you up in the morning with a song they like to listen.

Yes, if you have a smartphone, you can do this already. Alexa will able to select songs from a several platforms such as Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, TuneIN, SiriusXM and iHeartRadio.

Users just have to instruct Alexa saying “Alexa, wake me up at 8 am to ‘Lean On’ by Major Lazer.” If you are confused, Alexa can also use whatever information you provide to find the right tune for you. Try "Alexa, wake me up to 80s pop music at 8 am,” and Alexa will take care of the rest. Giving gist of a song to Alexa will also help, and would rather surprise you. However, these less specific requests only work with Amazon Music.
