- The Google Assistant can now sing a festive "New Year song" to users who ask for a tune to celebrate the arrival of 2021.
- "Sing a song for the New Year / I hope that we all thrive" is how the lyrics begin, with an allusion to leaving behind the coronavirus pandemic and all the other bad news associated with 2020.
- There are also region-specific versions of the New Year song, in different accents, sung by the Google Assistant.
While Google has been rolling out new Google Assistant features this year that help people better adjust to all the working from home we're doing during the coronavirus pandemic, there's a fun and kind of cheesy new skill the Google Assistant has been given to celebrate the imminent arrival of 2021 on the calendar.
Everyone, surely, can't wait to put this year behind us as a result of so many horrible things, like the COVID pandemic. Accordingly, you can ask the Google Assistant to sing you a "New Year song," at which point you will promptly be serenaded with -- well, let's just say, a very Google-y tune sung in the sort-of-robotic, sort-of-human voice of the Google Assistant. You can try this on your Google device now, or via the tweet below, as well as waiting until January 1 if you're so inclined.
