Following the release of the fourth album “30”, the mix button is no longer the default option for listening to albums on Spotify – listeners will hear the songs in the order listed.
“This is the only claim I have in our ever-changing industry!” Adele
wrote on Twitter Sunday. “We don’t make albums with too much care and thought into our playlists for no reason. Our art tells a story and our story should be heard. as we intended. Thank you Spotify for listening.”
Looks like Spotify was happy to mandate writing “anything for you”
in reply to the singer’s tweet.
“As mentioned by Adele, we’re excited to share that we’ve started rolling out a new Premium feature that has been long requested by both users and artists to set the default play button on all albums. “, a Spotify spokesperson told CNN. “For users who still want to shuffle an album, they can go to the Now Playing View and choose a random toggle. As always, we’ll continue to iterate over our products and features. to create the best experience for both artists and their fans.”
The album “30,” which was released on November 19, and focuses on Adele’s healing after her divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki, has garnered much attention.
Wide acclaim from critics. The singer described it as a
closest to her heart.
Advanced listeners can still mix individual tracks if they want, but some fans thanked Adele online for the update, saying they’ll never listen to an album on mix mode, especially in the first time.
A significant portion of users were upset by the move, with some fans criticizing Adele for asking for the default shuffle mode to be removed.
Taylor Swift has previously criticized Spotify for its free service, arguing that artists are not being paid enough royalties and
pull her entire catalog off the platform in 2014 – even though she
reverse the water in 2017.
However, Adele’s relationship with Spotify hasn’t always been so smooth. When she released her last album “25”, she decided
avoid streaming, saying it’s “a bit of a disposable” and that “music should be an event.” The album was later added to streaming.
Last month, “Easy on Me”, lead single from “30”,
Break Spotify’s record for most streamed song in just one day and broke the UK record for most live streams in a week.
