Musician Neil Young performs onstage at the 4th Annual Light Up The Blues at the Pantages Theatre on May 21, 2016 in Hollywood, Calif.
The Canadian singer-songwriter had removed his music from the streaming platform to protest against podcasts spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic. Neil Young has announced that his music will return to the music streaming service Spotify, two years after his songs were removed as a form of protest against podcasts that were spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I cannot just leave Apple and Amazon, like I did Spotify, because my music would have very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all, so I have returned to Spotify, in sincere hopes that Spotify sound quality will improve and people will be able to hear and feel all the music as we made it. Qobuz and Tidal, where my music is presented, are all high res as well."
Young's focus on audio quality extends back to 2012 when he founded the music player Pono, a device that promised to present songs "as they first sound during studio recording sessions," as aarticle at the time stated. Pono discontinued in 2017, with plans of transitioning to a streaming service that never came to fruition.
"Hopefully Spotify will turn to hi res as the answer and serve all the music to everyone," Young continued in his Tuesday post. "Spotify, you can do it! Really be #1 in all the ways. You have the music and the listeners!!!! Start with a limited hi res tier and build from there!"On Jan.
After the decision was finalized, Spotify released a statement that read, "We regret Neil's decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon."Neil Young, Nickelback, Maroon 5 playing 2024 Ottawa Bluesfest
