Understanding Spotify Playlists:
Over the years of helping independent artists promote their music, I’ve gained a solid understanding of how Spotify works behind the scenes. It’s a complex system that can be confusing, especially if you’re expecting immediate results from playlist placements or promotions. That’s why I want to take a moment to explain how it all works — and how you can use it to your advantage as an artist.

Title: Take Me Back to Eden: The Album That Taught Me Music Has No Borders I used to think I had a solid understanding of music. I work as a music store manager, I fix guitars, I’ve tried tons of pedals and amps, and I’ve spent years listening to every genre under the sun. But it wasn’t until I listened to Sleep Token’s Take Me Back to Eden that I truly felt what it means when people say, “Music is for everyone.”

If Johnny Thunders had a gang of glam-punk disciples in 2024, they’d be called Continental Lovers. And thankfully, they exist—not just as a nostalgia trip, but as a full-throttle, lipstick-smeared reminder that rock ‘n’ roll can still be dangerous, stylish, and absurdly fun.
