The platform has a simple search functionality that allow users to search its massive database for any local song lyrics by artist or by song title and even by song lyrics that they could have heard whilst tuning into a station as the song was fading! 


The platform a music player that enables  users to play the song whilst read through the lyrics and a weekly chart of the trending songs. Kasi lyrics is also packed with good social media integration for easy content share for user at will to their friends and people in their networks.
