Bad transitions from one song to the next

How do I turn off the blending of songs from one to the next? I hate this feature so much. Finish one song before you start another.

To stop Apple Music from blending songs, turn off Crossfade. Go to Settings → Music → Crossfade and switch it off. This forces each song to finish before the next one starts.
