Nowadays, with Spotify, Apple Music and lots of other streaming platforms, I have been seeing a “single” oriented mentality with almost every artist, which is saddening. I get excited to check the “New Music Radar” playlist every Friday, only to see some mediocre singles released.
Quit Spotify then! Go old school, find an artist you like and check the same label for other gems, let them know you still want albums by buying them. For full disclosure, I hate Spotify with a passion:
I genuinely think we should all abandon Spotify. I know you won’t and I know lots of you are gonna say but you ‘have’ to be on it nowadays, ‘exposure’ is good and ‘you might get featured on a hot playlist’. But I’m a man of principal and Spotify does next to nothing for most artists out there. So, I’m in the process of moving everything over to Bandcamp ASAP. I’m leaving Spotify et al for good.
Let the debate begin!
