Spotify's Brand New Music for You pop-up feature was created as a tool for artists to easily inform fans about their new music. The new feature will be tested in the United States, and it will be limited to artists that a user consistently listens to. However users will also have the ability to turn off the Brand New Music for You feature for an individual artist, users can also turn off the feature entirely.
Spotify's feature differs from the way the platform typically recommends music. Normally Spotify will recommend music to users based on listening habits or through the Spotify curation team. However, the new feature will allow users to stay up to date with their favorite artists.
