Spotify Releases New Single from Pop Star Prince

New York Times: Spotify tweeted that a Prince track called “Stare” was available “just for Spotify fans.” The move comes after the performer began pulling most of his music from streaming services this month. The shifting availability of Prince’s catalog illustrates the changes that have been happening in streaming music. Artists of all kinds have been evaluating and debating the market and in some cases deciding that the economics do not work. Prince has made oblique references on Twitter indicating that he is paying close attention to the business aspects of streaming music.
