Girouettes!

En août 2011, Century Media avait décidé de retirer tout son répertoire musical présent sur Spotify (news du 10/08/11 et du 12/08/11). Eh bien presque un an après, le célèbre label a décidé de faire marche arrière! Les catalogues de Century Media, InsideOut, Superball et People Like You sont donc de retour sur le logiciel d'écoute en streaming. La réaction des fans et des discussions avec Spotify auraient abouti à ce revirement.

Vous pouvez retrouvez les diverses déclarations des personnes concernées par ce revirement de politique en détail de cette news. (ZeSnake)

"Spotify offers great tools to discover new artists. We feel that this is essential for our promising newcomers. In that respect, Spotify gives those artists a very good forum," states Antje Lange, general manager Europe. "We respect that music fans wanted to have instant access to our catalog via Spotify," states President of North America Don Robertson. "But we also have to consider the rights of our artists. After practicing some due diligence, we're moving ahead confident that both the artist and the fan are being fairly served by this developing platform." Steve Savoca, Head of Content at Spotify, adds: "Spotify's global growth provides a powerful platform for artists to connect directly with our hugely passionate audience. The return of Century Media's fantastic catalog is cranking metal music to our ears." Thomas Waber, President of Superball and InsideOut Music sums it up: "We are looking forward to our fans being able to access our music again through the premium streaming service in the world. Hopefully they will discover great new music as a result!"
