Spotify just launched a new feature called “About the Song” and it could change how listeners connect with your music.
In this episode, we break down exactly what Spotify’s new About the Song feature is, how it works inside the Now Playing screen, who currently has access to it, and what independent artists should be doing right now to prepare.
This feature is currently in beta for Spotify Premium users in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia. It displays swipeable story cards that share the meaning and backstory behind a track while it’s playing.
We cover:
• What the Spotify About the Song feature actually does
