Sony Music has launched a \u2018Hand Wash Tunes<\/a>\u2019 Skill for Amazon Alexa. Featuring custom musical timers, the Skill brings some fun and entertainment to the hygiene practices that have become a habitual part of daily life \u2013 while ensuring users wash their hands for the recommended twenty seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Alexa Skill features a rotation of audio clips recorded for the project by a range of international artists including Scouting For Girls<\/a>, The Rainbow Collections<\/a>, Dodie, Ant Saunders, Audrey Mika, Au\/Ra<\/a>, D.\u00a0Mu\u00f1oz, Gashi<\/a>, JP Saxe, Quinn XCII<\/a>, Robinson<\/a>, SAYGRACE<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s\ngreat to be able to do something, however little, to help people, so we were\ndelighted to work with Sony Music on a hand washing skill,\u201d said Roy Stride of\nScouting for Girls. \u201cWe hope \u2018She\u2019s So Lovely\u2019 can entertain people during\nthese times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Parents\nare doing an incredible job in these tricky times, also doubling as teachers,\u201d\ncommented Sophie Barker from The Rainbow Collections. \u201cWe love to help educate\nand entertain with our songs, so it was great fun to rework [a] classic rhyme\nthat families will know into something they can sing along to while washing\ntheir hands.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users in the US and UK can enable the \u2018Hand Wash Tunes\u2019 Skill in the Amazon Alexa Skill store<\/a>, or by saying \u201cAlexa, open Hand Wash Tunes\u201d to their Alexa device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
