Lyrication v2 adds slick music lyric support iOS’ Now Playing interfaces

Music enriches our lives at a spiritual level, and that’s one of the reasons why it can be so enjoyable to turn on the radio when you’re at work or undertaking a menial task. But if you’ve ever listened to a song and couldn’t distinguish its lyrics before, then you’d understand easy access to song lyrics is such an imperative ingredient for the ideal mobile music player, much like your iPhone.

In today's Wallpapers of the Week curation, I am floored by the rich pervasive color in this collection.
