Song lyrics will eventually help power the recommender, and hopefully enable it to make more accurate recommendations.
In order to do so, song lyrics will need to be retrieved from some endpoint. Currently, I believe the Genius API offers the easiest way to retrieve song details, including lyrics.
The notebook, genius_credits (currently only listed in the jj branch) features my exploration through the Genius API in order to retrieve songwriter credits. It might also be helpful to reference when pulling lyrics.
Of course, we need to know which song lyrics to actually retrieve! Currently, I'm looking to capture every song published by each artist currently indexed within the recommender system. You can find which artists are indexed by checking out artist_list_v2.csv within the data folder.
