According to Stereogum.com, electro-pop duo Sylvan Esso are back with a new single but people will not be able to listen to it on Spotify. “WDID” is Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn’s first original music since 2022 and it is also the first song of theirs to be released on the label they founded a few years ago, Psychic Hotline.

And now, Sylvan Esso are finally releasing their music on their own label and they are making a big executive decision about where to make it available. Meanwhile at Spotify, the company announced that on January 1, Ek will transition to the role of Executive Chairman, while current co-Presidents Gustav Söderström and Alex Norström will be its co-Chief Executive Officers.
According to a press release: “As Executive Chairman, Ek’s role will more closely reflect a European Chairman setup, where he will determine capital allocation, map the long term future of Spotify and continue to provide support and guidance to its senior team.”
In other news, Pitchfork.com has reported that over 400 musicians have signed up for a campaign asking distributors to block their music from streaming in Israel. And now, Björk has joined their ranks and the Icelandic legend has not issued a statement on her participation in the embargo but her name is now listed among the artists on the No Music for Genocide website.
