mitchell plans neil young spotify citing

Joni Mitchell followed Neil Young in declaring that she, too, would be removing her music from Spotify.

Now, as the hashtag #CancelSpotify grows momentum across social media, a number of other artists have followed suit by removing their entire catalogues from the streaming platform in support of Young. I want to thank my truly great and supportive record company Warner Brothers – Reprise Records, for standing with me in my decision to pull all my music from Spotify.

“I was prepared to do all I could and more just to make sure that happened. I announced I was leaving anyway, because I knew I was.” “Before I told my friends at Warner Bros about my desire to leave the Spotify platform, I was reminded by my own legal forces that contractually I did not have the control of my music to do that. “I realised I could not continue to support Spotify’s life-threatening misinformation to the music-loving public,” wrote Young. In 2020, the podcast made an exclusive deal with Spotify reported to be worth $100 million.
