After restructuring the way royalties are issued to musicians, veteran streaming platform Deezer has now reinvented itself as an “experience services platform”, along with a bold new logo and color scheme.

“We have transformed Deezer over the past two years, and today marks a key milestone as we introduce our new identity and logo while showcasing how our product is evolving into a platform where people can experience and live the music in a way that cannot be found anywhere else,” explained Jeronimo Folgueira, CEO, Deezer. “Love for music and helping people be and belong through music have always been at the heart of Deezer, and it is time for us to embark on this new journey where we reinforce that commitment to fans, artists, and partners”.

The company’s new visual profile and unique purple heart logo are said to represent the brand’s new direction. Meanwhile, Deezer is also introducing an improved user experience and design to its app, helping to inspire and empower music fans through more personalized suggestions.

“Refreshing our visual identity gives us an opportunity to tell our story in a more emotional way, connecting with music fans, artists, and strategic partners through visual cues that let people know that with Deezer, they can live the music to the fullest,” said Deezer CMO Maria Garrido. “It’s a necessary step in our evolution as a brand and as a company, ushering in a new era and empowering everyone to be and belong through music”.

Although Deezer was once one of the originators of streaming music, the platform has lagged behind the likes of Spotify for some time. This year, Deezer is making a comeback, with a new Android Auto app and a recent partnership with telco Orange in France.

The company has also jumped on the AI bandwagon, with a new music discovery feature called Deezer Flow that can identify moods and genres and suggest new artists and tracks.

The new brand was revealed on November 7th at the celebratory Drop event at La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris.

A new Disney+ app has officially launched in the UAE, and subscribers can now keep watching their favorite titles when they travel. Disney+ says access extends across supported markets in Europe, the United States and beyond.

The app is built around a dynamic homepage and simpler navigation, with recommendations drawn from each customer’s viewing habits and what’s popular in the UAE. Content from Hulu and ESPN is now easier to find alongside Disney+’s own library, the company says. Audio and subtitles come in up to 25 languages, and supported devices get high-quality video and sound.

For families, the app includes Junior Mode, a dedicated, simplified version of Disney+ for younger viewers, built around age-appropriate shows and movies. It sits alongside existing controls such as PIN-protected profiles, customizable content ratings and account notifications when a profile is changed.

The catalog still spans Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu and FX. Returning series include Season 8 of “The Kardashians,” Season 23 of “Grey’s Anatomy” and Season 38 of “The Simpsons”. Also on the service are the second season of International Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning series “Rivals,” comedy “Only Murders in the Building,” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootropolis 2” and 20th Century Studios’ “Send Help”.

Marvel Television’s “VisionQuest” is on the way, and Disney’s live-action “Moana” is due later this autumn. Beyond Hollywood, the Turkish title “Halef” is coming to the platform alongside a lineup of Korean entertainment: Korean-Japanese romantic comedy “Merry Berry Love” is streaming now, and “The Remarried Empress” arrives November 4.

Existing subscribers will be prompted to download the new app and sign in with their current credentials, with on-screen steps covering account confirmation and profile setup. Subscriptions start at AED 49.99 per month and can be canceled at any time.

For UAE subscribers planning to travel, the update will likely be well received, but Disney has left one question open. It confirms Europe and the United States as supported markets but doesn’t yet say which others fall under and beyond.
