​Collect an Artist’s NFT → Get Access to Their Private Spotify Playlists

Man, Spotify are cooler than the other side of the pillow right now.

They've just debuted two big changes:

  1. An AI DJ, that talks you through what they're thinking of playing for you and why (see it in action here).

  2. Token gated playlists.
    (I.e. Collect an artist's NFT → get access to their private playlists).

Right now, the service is only available to token holders within the Fluf, Moonbirds, Kingship and Overlord communities.

But if/when the broader roll out happens, it will lead to deeper connections between artists and listeners.

Imagine getting Podcast recommendations from Paul McCartney, or digging through Billie Eilish's gated playlists to learn she's a secret Rammstein fan.

(Honestly, we wouldn't be surprised).

What about listening to curated tunes from folks outside of the music industry?

E.g. "LeBron's Work Out Jams" or "Brad Pitt's Playlist For When He's Feeling Like A Silly Goose" (please let that be real).

Point is: it opens up a lot of interesting avenues...

And while it's still early days - we have a feeling this will bring a whole new dimension to the concept of 'fan service.'
