Joni Mitchell’s Music Returns to Spotify After Two-Year Absence
Fans of legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell were thrilled to discover that her music has quietly returned to Spotify, more than two years after she removed her catalog from the streaming platform in protest.
The decision to bring back Mitchell’s albums, including classics like “Blue” and “Court and Spark,” came without any official announcement. However, fans began to notice the reappearance of her music on Thursday, sparking excitement among music lovers.
In January 2022, Mitchell made a bold statement by standing in solidarity with fellow musician Neil Young, who had also pulled his music from Spotify over concerns about the spread of misinformation regarding Covid-19 vaccines. Mitchell expressed her disdain for the dissemination of falsehoods that she believed were putting lives at risk.
Now, with Mitchell’s return to Spotify, it seems that the iconic artist is reclaiming her place in the music streaming world. Representatives for Mitchell, her record labels, and Spotify have remained tight-lipped about the decision to bring back her music.
Despite facing health challenges in recent years, including a debilitating aneurysm in 2015, Mitchell has continued to make a comeback in the music scene. She has delivered memorable performances at events like the Newport Folk Festival and the Grammy Awards, and is gearing up for two special “Joni Jam” shows at the Hollywood Bowl in October, where she will be joined by acclaimed artist Brandi Carlile and others.
As Mitchell, now 80 years old, continues to captivate audiences with her timeless music and unwavering spirit, her return to Spotify marks a significant moment for fans who have eagerly awaited her comeback.
