Despite months of varying complaints about Apple Music, the service has nevertheless garnered a healthy following, well over 15 million paid subscribers according to Apple.

On Monday, Apple announced an update to the app coming in iOS 10 (expected in the fall) that may help millions of existing and potential new users get more out of the app.

The app has been redesigned from the ground up. The new design is meant to be more intuitive and simple, an interface shift that many users have been requesting.

Apple has also added lyrics to the app's music selections (when you scroll down from the top of the currently playing song), which was demonstrated on stage by Apple Music's head of global marketing, Bozoma Saint John, using the song "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang. 

The company also showed off daily curated Playlists. Additionally, the Connect section allows you to follow the feeds of your favorite artists. Apple also demonstrated the new, more simplified looks of Browse, Top Charts, Radio and Stations.

Will it be enough to convince some users not already on Apple Music to give it a try? Only time will tell, but this early look at the new Apple Music is indeed a lot more attractive and as a result could be a little easier to user.
