How can I block an artist I don't want to listen to?

[user-removed]

There's an artist whose songs I don't really like, but Spotify just plays their songs for me all the time. I look for a song in the search engine, I play it, the song ends, and as the next recommendation it puts that artist that I hate so much, there is no button that blocks music in the application currently

Hi there @user-removed,

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

You can already block an artist in the app.  You just need to go to the artist profile on your mobile phone app > Click the 3-dot menu > and select "Don't play this". This will block all content from the artist on all devices. Note that if the artist is featured in a song/album from another artist it might still be playable.

On another note, if you want to stop getting recommendations about certain music, you can now exclude it from your taste profile. More info here.  

Hope this helps. If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.
