Apple Music is premiering Apple Music Sessions, exclusive live releases featuring some of the world’s most prolific artists and emerging artists, all in Spatial Audio. 

Recorded out of Apple Music’s studios around the world, Apple Music Sessions is designed to “give artists the opportunity to reimagine and recreate hits from their catalog, and creative covers of beloved classics.” These performances are also filmed, resulting in a special, bespoke live collection comprised of new Spatial Audio tracks and companion live performance music videos that will all be available exclusively to Apple Music fans worldwide.

Apple Music Sessions officially launches today with releases from Carrie Underwood and Tenille Townes, recorded out of Apple Music’s new state-of-the-art studios in Nashville, Tennessee. During her session, Underwood performed her hit “Ghost Story,” as well as a stripped-back version of “Blown Away,” and a cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” 

Country singer-songwriter Tenille Townes performed her hits “Same Road Home” and “Somebody’s Daughter,” as well as a gritty, soulful cover of Etta James’s “At Last.” 

Apple Music Sessions kicks off in Nashville with a host of country artists already lined up, including Ronnie Dunn, Ingrid Andress, and many others, and Apple says it also plans to expand the series into other genres of music in the future. 

Apple Music is available in over 165 countries and regions on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod mini, CarPlay, and online at music.apple.com, plus popular smart speakers, smart TVs, and Android and Windows devices. Apple Music is ad-free and never shares consumer data with third parties. More information is available at apple.com/apple-music.
