The new streaming service collection consists of songs that focus on auditory beats, colored noise, sound waves and more alongside tracks from familiar artists. The familiar tracks, however, have been transformed into instrumental versions with an extended length thanks to the producers and audio engineers over at the Sollos music wellness venture from UMG. Apple Music Sound Therapy comes on the heels of the streaming service's other relaxation-focused content as consumers welcome ways to enhance their everyday wellness routines. The collection is available now for subscribers to access.
