What is the latest music news?
Spotify's beta "About the Song" feature, which uses AI to generate background information on tracks, has drawn public criticism from Lorde, who said on Instagram that artists don't want it and that it reduces songs to bare facts [5]. Separately, Apple Music has raised its subscription prices for the first time in almost four years, with the individual plan going from $10.99 to $11.99 a month, family plans up to $19.99, and student plans to $6.99 [4]. I don't have further coverage on other music stories beyond these two right now.
