Amazon has added support for Deezer to Alexa, so now you can directly control the streaming music service with your voice. Deezer should work with most Alexa-enabled devices, including Amazon’s line of Echo speakers, the Sonos One, and the UE Megablast and Blast.

Deezer is the latest music service to offer integration with Alexa voice controls, a list that now includes Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, TuneIn, SiriusXM, iHeartRadio, and more. The functionality should be rolling out today in 66 countries, including the US, UK, and Germany.

Deezer Premium+ users will also be able to take advantage of Deezer’s Flow feature, which plays “a never-ending personal soundtrack” directly through Alexa voice commands, in addition to the usual play, pause, and music searching options. Users will also eventually be able to set Deezer as the default music account on their Alexa devices, although the company still lists that feature as “coming soon.”
