Earlier this year, Spotify launched the beta version of Songwriter Pages and “Written By” playlists, a way for fans, collaborators and industry partners to dive deeper into the creators behind their favorite songs. Now, the streaming service is adding hundreds of additional songwriters and playlists.
Joining the beta version include Wheezy Beats (Future, Drake), Shelly Peiken (Christina Aguilera, Jesse J), Lindy Robbins (Jason Derulo, David Guetta), Shungudzo Kuyimba (The Chainsmokers, Oliver Heldens), Barry Dean (Michael Ray, Jon Pardi), Soaky Siren (Pitbull, Rita Ora), Miles Davis, Jenny Owen Youngs (Panic! At the Disco), David Foster (Whitney Houston, Chicago) and more.
“With the expansion of Songwriter Pages, we’re continuing to evolve how music is discovered, appreciated, and enjoyed by the world. Supporting publishers and songwriters goes hand in hand with artist discovery,” said Spotify’s Head of Songwriter & Publishing Relations Jules Parker in a blog post. “If we can help make those connections, we help people discover new music and open up potential career opportunities for the songwriter.”
How to access Songwriter Pages:
- Right-click on a track (or, if you’re on mobile, tap the “...” next to the track)
- Hit “Song Credits”
- Select a clickable songwriter’s name
- Each songwriter page includes a “Written By” playlist spanning that writer’s work. On their page, click or tap “Listen on Spotify” to check them out.
