Joni Mitchell, the legendary musician, has made a quiet comeback to Spotify, two years after several musicians left the platform in protest over controversial remarks made on Joe Rogan's podcast. Neil Young, another vocal critic, also restored his music to Spotify recently. Mitchell's pivotal albums, including Blue, are now available to stream on the music service.
Two years after several legendary musicians broke with Spotify in protest over controversial remarks made on podcaster Joe Rogan ’s show, most have now returned to the music service — with Joni Mitchell as the latest example. As noted by The New York Times, several of the singer-songwriter’s most pivotal albums, including Blue, are once again available to stream on Spotify . Mitchell’s representatives haven’t offered any comment on her quiet comeback.
“Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives,” Mitchell wrote in 2022 amid an uproar directed at Rogan for misinformation that was repeated on his podcast. Neil Young, the musician who was most vocal in his criticism of comments on The Joe Rogan Experience related to the covid-19 vaccines, also restored his music to the leading subscription music service earlier this month. In 2022, Young said he felt “better” after ditching Spotify and blasted the service for its “shitty” sound quality. But the company hasn’t done much to enhance its audio since then, which is why Young continues to refer to it as “low res.” His rationale for returning seems to be this: other music apps are also now streaming those same podcasts that he was originally so frustrated about — Young still refrains from mentioning Rogan by name — and he can’t in good conscience quit all of them and rob his fans of his catalog everywher
