You can also ask Alexa to pull up songs from a specific decade, mood or genre.

If you say 'Alexa, play the song that goes, 'You see what I mean?, USDA certified lean,'' it will recognize the tune as 'The Man' by The Killers. Music Unlimited also unlocks Alexa's ability to name the song that's stuck in your head. If your needs are less specific, just ask the assistant to play music by an artist ('Alexa, play Run The Jewels') to get a playlist of that musician's most popular tracks.

For example, if a friend told me that Lorde's latest record is amazing (it is), I could just say 'Alexa, play Lorde's Pure Heroine album,' to hear it. If you love to chat with Alexa, you'll also prefer Music Unlimited, which allows for a stronger set of voice commands.
