Massive Attack intend to pull their music from Spotify . The band shared the news in a statement that also expressed solidarity with a new cultural boycott initiative called No Music for Genocide . The movement calls for artists, labels, and rights-holders to remove music from streaming platforms in Israel, via geo-blocking, in protest of the country’s ongoing assault of Gaza, and Massive Attack intend to participate in the boycott.
“Unconnected to this initiative & in light of the (reported) significant investments by it’s CEO in a company producing military munition drones & AI technology intergrated into fighter aircraft, Massive Attack have made a separate request to our label that our music be removed from the Spotify streaming service in all territories,” Massive Attack wrote
