Joni Mitchell’s catalog has been restored to the Spotify streaming services, more than two years after the singer pulled her music from the platform.
Mitchell had pulled her catalog from the streaming service in early 2022, in solidarity with Neil Young, citing concerns about the misinformation that was being spread about COVID-19 and the vaccine on Spotify’s “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
“I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify. Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue,” Mitchell posted on her official website at the time.
Young recently returned his music to Spotify after the end of Rogan’s exclusivity deal with the streaming service, saying, “My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at Spotify.”
Following suit, Mitchell decided to return her catalog to Spotify. There is no official statement as yet from Mitchell about the decision.
Noticing the return of the catalog to the streaming service, fans started commenting on social media. “JONI MITCHELL MUSIC BACK ON SPOTIFY THIS IS NOT A DRILL,” tweeted one user.
