News & Reviews:   spotify announce

If you're using Spotify and want to block someone, your wish is finally coming true. Technically, it is doable when you contact customer service but you can now do it yourself on your desktop or mobile app.

Remember when your favourite K-pop song suddenly disappeared from Spotify last week? As you already know, this was due to the expiry of the license agreement between Spotify and Kakao Entertainment. Fortunately, that should no longer be a problem.

If you suddenly can't listen to any of your favourite K-Pop songs on Spotify, you're not alone. Apparently, a majority of K-Pop songs on Spotify have been removed without warning due to the license agreement with Kakao M, the distributor and partner of Spotify.

Earlier, we announced that Spotify just offered a new prepaid plan which Malaysians can pay on a daily or weekly basis. At the same time, the company will also increase the Premium Family price from RM22.40/month to RM23.80/month.

If you’re getting tired of all those ads while listening to Spotify, why not try out Spotify Premium? Starting today, first time Spotify users and eligible free Spotify users can sign up for a three month trial for only RM2 with Spotify Mid-Year 2019 Premium Offer.

Using a smartphone while driving is a big no no and Spotify recognizes this. Skipping to the next track on your Spotify playlist can be a hassle and even dangerous while you’re driving and Spotify clearly agrees. Their latest update changed the music playback’s layout, making it a little safer to use on the road.

How many times have you missed out on the latest single from your favourite music artist? Don’t fret, Spotify has a solution for you, the company is proud to present their brand new Release Radar, just for you.

Today, there is going to be two brand new audio series by Spotify – Secret Genius and AM/PM – both of which see renowned artists and producers talking exclusively to Spotify.
