JOOX offers new playlists to help audiences soothe stress and anxiety

While getting exercise or sitting down with a favourite show are effective ways to relieve stress, music can also be useful during uncertain times. With that in mind, audio streaming service JOOX has rolled out a series of playlists to energise listeners and boost their spirits during the ongoing pandemic.

The playlists consist of 12 themes with names like Coffee Time, Comfort and Simplicity, Drama Relax and Relax Meditate Sleep — all curated to meet the different moods of their users.

Listeners can easily alleviate the pressures of these times through singing, dancing, playing an instrument, or even simply tuning in to a favourite playlist, as music provides a beneficial effect on brain chemicals such as dopamine, linked to feelings of pleasure, and oxytocin, the so-called "love" hormone.

To enhance the entire experience, JOOX's karaoke feature allows audiences to sing and dance with their idols, while they can also enjoy local, K-Pop and other international live concerts through the app. In addition, JOOX users can also listen to podcasts discussing a variety of topics, such as mental health improvement. With over 30 million songs in the service's library, the opportunities are virtually endless.
