BJÖRK on SPOTIFY - BOYCOTT NOW!

 

The famed Icelandic musician and artist recently had a few choice words to say about the music streaming service Spotify in an interview with the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.


Björk sat down for the interview to promote the shortened version of her newest concert film, Apple Music Live: Björk. During the interview, Björk discussed how fortunate she is to not have to rely on touring money in order to keep her career going.


“I’m lucky because I no longer have to raise money on touring, which younger musicians are often forced to do,” Björk said in the interview. “In that respect, Spotify is probably the worst thing that has happened to musicians. The streaming culture has changed an entire society and an entire generation of artists.”
