Spotify gives you a really passive-aggressive message when you search for Kanye’s new album

Ah, The Life of Pablo.

Kanye’s latest album has been shrouded in a mist composed of equal parts mystery and controversy. He’s renamed it a billion times, he’s punctuated press releases by claiming the innocence of alleged rapist Bill Cosby and he’s been Twitter beefing to beat the band.

There has also been shifts in the distribution plans for the album which, for the time being, is only available through streaming service Tidal.

Streaming giant Spotify have gotten caught up in all this confusion, and clearly they think they’re going to have the rights to the album sooner rather than later, no matter what Yeezy says.
