I know it is painful to switch streaming services but I promise it’s SO worth it. The audio quality is better, (human) artist support is better, and you can own your favorite music again while still having access to everything.
(As an aside, I was, until recently, doing a recycle-the-income model where I supported other artists and writers via subscriptions with MY subscription and streaming income. Unfortunately, due to Spotify changing its algorithm last year, I had to cancel several subscriptions due to my streaming income from 2025 being less than HALF of what I made in 2024, and me not being able to make up the difference with my job income because I’m back in school)
I can tell you that I’m absolutely terrified of accidentally being fed an AI artist and liking them… there should be some kind of selection somewhere to choose “do not pop any AI artists into my algorithm.”
I almost got duped by a post about a new Billie Eilish song. I mean, I'm always gonna get excited about a new Billie Eilish song!💞 But she didn't sound quite "right", so I dug around and yep, AI. 😢🙄
"but is instead being billed as “neosoul???” We’re co-opting soul music with AI? Insult, meet injury!"
Neo-soul is its own genre, not something they've coined to describe AI soul music. Not gonna listen to this to decide if its actually neo-soul, but your wording here has me confused, and makes it seem like you think they invented it.

We all need to ditch Spotify. This and then them supporting ICE is horrific. I moved to QoBuz and it's really good!
I fell for the same thing with the “singer” Kayla Kross— so weird and scary!!
Noooooooooo! Ugh. I guess I’m another victim. Sad.
we are all storytellers of the heart, at the end of the day
Bahahaha but also a little bit true

This happened to me too! I sent this song to a couple friends and was devastated when I found out.
Hey, what did you mean here?
