Snoop Dogg dumps Spotify for Tune.FM, calls out streaming giant over earnings

Snoop Dogg has announced that he is leaving Spotify to bring his entire music collection to a new platform called Tune.FM. This platform is part of a new wave of music streaming that aims to give artists more control and allow them to earn more money from their work. Snoop clarified why he made this switch, expressing frustration with how little Spotify pays artists. “I don’t f**k with Spotify anymore. I’m only on Tune.FM,” Snoop told Billboard, highlighting how he received only $45,000 despite his songs being played a whopping billion times on Spotify.

Snoop’s partnership with Tune.FM could change how artists share their music and earn money. His new single, “Spaceship Party,” will be the first song available exclusively on the Tune.FM platform, marking a fresh start for both him and his fans. He also plans to move all of his other songs to this new site, which suggests a significant shift in how artists might approach sharing their music in the future. Tune.FM operates on a new system designed to help artists keep more of the money they make from their music.

This approach aligns with Snoop Dogg’s innovative mindset, making it a perfect fit for him. “We are thrilled to welcome Snoop Dogg as the face of Tune.FM,” said Andrew Antar, the founder and CEO of Tune.FM. “Snoop is a true pioneer who always explores new opportunities. He understands the future, and we’re excited to take on this adventure together.” As one of the most influential figures in the music industry, Snoop’s move to Tune.FM could signal a bigger change coming for artists.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
