[![Apple Music For You](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d1f6fda6970c-200wi "Apple Music For You")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d1f6fda6970c-popup?ref=hypebot.com)

Apple Music has been "redesigned from the ground up" just one year after launch. The new app will be available to users the Fall. CEO Tim Cook also announced that the service now has 15 million paid subscribers.

The new design eliminates much of the clutter that made using Apple Music confusing. Two primary sections control the app – music downloaded on the phone and streaming from Apple Music. Hit play and album artwork is front and center along with easily accessible lyrics. The later is a deliberate jab at Spotify which recently dropped lyrics, at least temporarily.

A new section called "For You" includes "Discover," "Recently Played" and a personalized playlist that looks very much like a daily version Spotify's Discover Weekly.

**Initial Reaction**

Revolutionary? No

It it a much needed redesign that will make using Apple Music more intuitive? Yes.

Will it trigger an exodus from Spotify. No.
