Alexa announce artiste and track details when a new song starts on Sonos

Configuration Voice Assistant

Can anyone offer some advice? I’m attempting to get an echo dot announce the track details when a new song plays on my Sonos (called: media_player.unnamed_room). I have added the following to the Yaml, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Maybe it’s a formatting issue? I’m grateful for any help.

- alias: Announce Bathroom Sonos Songs
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: media_player.unnamed_room
    attribute: media_title
  action:
    service: notify.alexa_media
    data:
      target:
        - media_player.echo_dot
      message: Now testing announcement on the bathroom Sonos {{
        states('media_player.unnamed_room').attributes.media_artist }} - {{
        states('media_player.unnamed_room').attributes.media_title }}

I’m seeing this error in the logs
