I have Francea confession to make: Despite being proud of my eclectic music taste, the thing I type the most into both Apple Music and Spotify is "chill". Yes, sometimes I need to get some work done, and I need music that will speak softly to me from the background without distracting me.
Enter Apple Music Chill, a new radio station on Apple Music that will feature a "continuous flow of chill highlights across genres, interspersed with mindful moments meant to remind listeners to make the time to find center and calm."

Apple set out to prove that with the first song to air on the station, Beck's new recording of George Harrison's "Be Here Now." Listeners can also expect to hear music curated by the likes of Brian Eno, Stephan Moccio, and Zane Lowe.
"In a world of AI and algorithms, Apple Music Radio is live. It’s real people, it’s a shared event, and I’m so excited to be broadening that experience to listeners worldwide with three new stations," said Lowe in a statement.
Apple also launched two other radio stations today.
Apple Música Uno focuses on Latin music, with daily programming by Evelyn Sicairos and Lechero, as well as music from popular playlist Puro Pop Radio.
Finally, Apple Music Club is a station devoted to dance and electronic music. Some of the highlights including mixes from Honey Dijon, Jamie xx, FKA twigs, and Nia Archives, and curation by Circoloco, Tomorrowland, The Warehouse Project, fabric, Hï Ibiza, Stone Island Sound, and more.
