Spotify removed multiple Bollywood albums from its platform after the licensing agreement it had with Zee Music Company fell through. In case you did not know, Spotify does not own the songs it has on its platform (barring the Spotify originals). The streaming service makes deals with the publishers and owners to make the tracks available on the app. In this case, after the old license agreement came to its end Spotify and Zee Music Company have not come up with a mutually agreeable deal yet, states a report by Deccan Herald.
People can only hope and pray that these albums are brought back on Spotify.
