My Question or Issue

I’ve noticed that the Spotify algorithm is suggesting songs outside my genre to my listeners, which might not align with their expectations or preferences based on my music style.

My primary genre is Afro-fusion, Afrojazz and RnB, and my latest release, *Holiday*, reflects this sound and most of my other songs do reflect these genres.

I understand this could be as a result of my most-streamed song “Kumama Yoruba version” (https://open.spotify.com/track/3DhC1to2LhIihmWtufsGIA?si=VHhoi7GVTZyY4At5eNK0iw) and the playlist it has featured. (Which is just one out of the many songs I have and have released)

Yet I believe this mismatch could affect my long time listener retention and engagement and affect me as an artist too.

I kindly request a review of my profile’s metadata to ensure that the recommended tracks for my audience better align with my genre, music and artistic identity.

If there are any steps I can take to help refine this process—such as ensuring correct metadata or updating my artist profile—I would be happy to assist.

Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

I truly appreciate your candid response but to be honest this song gained
popularity across all media platforms without having to deal with hassles
like this. It’s only Spotify moving mad with their useless algorithm and I
have even reached them several times but they resort to bringing me here to

Hello @theabosede, I think the beast thing to do is to talk to spotify customer service or anyone that works at spotify. I am not 100% sure that it will work out, but please do try
