Don't want to hear an artist? You can now block them on Spotify

Spotify has nearly every artist you could want to listen to. Now, they've added a feature that will make sure you don't hear the artists you don't want to.

Spotify has just released a new feature that allows you to 'mute' an artist you don't want to appear while using the app.

Pretty simple to use, you search the artist and select 'don't play this artist' under settings.

Cause there's nothing we hate more than jamming out and then hearing a song you hate to come on.

The streaming service briefly changed its policies to remove controversial artists including R. Kelly and XXXTentacion from promoted playlists but backtracked on the decision the following push back from record labels and musicians.
