After a hiatus of over two years, Neil Young has made a comeback to Spotify. In January 2022, he had removed his music from the platform due to concerns about vaccine misinformation on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.<\/p>\n
Joining Young in this move were other artists like Joni Mitchell, Indie.Arie, and his bandmates from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. However, some of them have since reuploaded their music on Spotify.<\/p>\n
Recently, Billboard reported that Young\u2019s decision to return coincides with the end of Spotify\u2019s exclusive deal with Rogan. In a statement on his Neil Young Archives website, he expressed optimism for improved sound quality on Spotify and voiced support for high-resolution streaming options like Qobuz and Tidal.<\/p>\n
Despite Spotify\u2019s announcement of a HiFi tier back in February 2021, the actual implementation of this feature is still pending as per Bloomberg reports from June 2023.<\/p>\n
The absence of Neil Young\u2019s music on Spotify has been felt financially, with estimated losses of around $300,000 in recorded music and publishing royalties according to Billboard in September.<\/p>\n
As of now, Neil Young\u2019s music is yet to be restored on Spotify, and the streaming service has not provided any updates in response to inquiries from the music publication.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Young\u2019s decision to rejoin Spotify highlights a growing trend in the music industry for platforms to prioritize high-quality audio experiences. This move reflects changing expectations among both artists and listeners for top-notch streaming services.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
