Spotify presents the new Showcase tool, which allows artists to promote their music and bring their content in front of others. The paid tool can push music that is newly released or something that is within their catalog from before. Additionally, artists are also able to create various campaigns for different content to use Spotlight to promote singles, albums, and EPs.
The recommendations will be shown under multiple headlines to try to capture the listener's attention. It will be provided by the platform and depending on what the theme is, selected by the artist's teams. They can promote the content as new music or use headlines that encourage action such as 'on tour' to entice listeners.
