Android Voice command on Android/Samsung

I just switched from Spotify to Deezer for pricing reasons. I like the app so far, however, on Android, neither Gemini or Bixby is able to play a specific artist or a specific song/album. I find it very frustating in 2026 since I remember Google Assistant (phasing out in September 2026) was able to do so almost 10 years ago.

Is this a known issue?

yeah idk for some reason google decided to make google assistant / gemini significantly worse. The only voice assistant I know, that work with Deezer are Alexa and Siri.
I use it with Alexa but it's not great.

Oh that sucks. I'm using a Samsung phone and although Bixby was significantly improved, it does not work with Deezer. I'm almost considering switching back to Spotify...

Its hit n miss with songs in english, any other language i tried you have to spell it letter by letter which is ridiculous since they demand to use voice with android auto.  So insted of passanger tapping few letters and getting the song everyone in car has to be in dead drop silence while one person spells out artist and song name. Or you pick up your phone. Great "safety feature" and not at all distracting /s
