1. A system for controlling a lighting device to render light effects while an audio rendering device plays a song, said system comprising:
at least one receiver;
at least one transmitter; and
at least one processor configured to:
receive information from an audio streaming service via said at least one receiver, said information being indicative of a median or an average of an audio characteristic for each section of a plurality of sections of said song,
determine, from said information, a first median or average of said audio characteristic in a first section of said plurality of sections and a second median or average of said audio characteristic in a second consecutive section of said plurality of sections,
determine whether a difference between said first and second medians or averages exceeds a threshold,
determine said light effects based on said information,
gradually reduce at least one of a light intensity or color saturation of said light effects during a period before the start of said second section in dependence on said difference exceeding said threshold, and
control, via said at least one transmitter, said lighting device to render said light effects.
