I just learned that this coming month we should see support for Pandora Premium integration (fingers crossed this is true and finally comes to pass - I've been holding my breath for months). My question is if there is any info regarding whether Sonos ONE/Alexa will be supported in this new functionality as well, e.g. Pandora is already supported but will it be possible to ask Alexa to, for instance, play a specific artist or song on a particular speaker group as opposed to just the artist radio that is currently possible?

It seems there is only Alexa support on the One with Pandora insofar as station playback is concerned, but not for Premium content, e.g. specific albums or songs.
Anyone hear if/when this is coming? Spotify now works with voice, but I cancelled in favor of Pandora's new UI. Voice support isn't the end of the world for me personally - I prefer Pandora to Spotify enough that I don't care, but of course it would be nice to have voice support for Premium.

My Skill can do this with Pandora Premium content, so long as you have the latest version.

To clarify - are you saying you are able to specify playing a particular song by a particular artist in any room you choose via Panora triggered by the Sonos One??? Because I cannot. Stations only. If I get specific it either attempts to direct me to Amazon Music (asking me to subscribe and offering a song sample and other irritating talk I didn't ask for) or it simply starts a Pandora radio station for that artist.

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. Specifically:
"alexa, tell my speaker to search using pandora" (only needed once)
"alexa, tell my spekaer to play perfect by ed sheeran" (she replies ok, and it starts)
I could have added "in the kitchen", or "everywhere", if I wanted to.
