I agree she is magnificent. She said way more than others. However artists need to call out Spotify. Other name artists need to call this out. Spirit of rock, soul, punk, hip hop, folk, electronica, blues was to fight the power. And Daniel Ek and the ARIA honchos are that.

I take all of that on board John, but AI military technology sourced from their Spotify royalties is funding genocide. And they had a big platform, especially as 4 time winners (well done for that) and this would have had substance. Criticising genocide whilst contributing to it is...well, you know

Pressure needs to start being placed (in a respectful way) on a number of name Australian artists on Spotify's bribing of the ARIAs. It's not a token issue, it's fundamental and immoral. ARIA is a vital part of the Aust music fabric. CEO Annabelle Herd should be taken to task, made to be accountable

Love Amy but wish Amyl and the Sniffers and had made a strong statement about Spotify sponsoring the bejesus out of the ARIA awards. Its not liked Daniel Ek investing in military technology and sponsoring ICE is hidden (let alone Spotify's exploitative works practices and business model)

ARIAs Spotify sponsorship is a blight on the music industry
