My Question or Issue

It appears that the Christian genre has been removed from All Genres under Search. While I realize I can search "spotify:genre:christian" to get to that genre, it isn't fully featured like other genres anymore. For instance, the New Releases section doesn't appear when using that keyword for search. I realize not everyone would have the Christian genre as a genre they would be interested in. However, I feel like a great feature would be to personalize genres under Browse All rank-sorted based on the specific user's preferences. That way, those interested could still see the Christian genre, fully featured with sections like New Releases. That'd be more relevant than 90% of the genres listed under All Genres for me at least (and I'd have a hunch quite a large portion of the Spotify user base).

.It appears this is one of their new changes. As a longtime premium member I am disappointed and will consider taking my business to Pandora. It is interesting to see and out of touch see that the Christian genre was eliminated for categories like “Call Her Daddy”. Spotify, you can do better. Please reinstate the Christian genre.

This was my Friday go-to! New releases under the Christian genre helped me find a lot of music that I very much enjoyed.
Please bring it back!

Okay, I'm glad I am not the only one who noticed. I thought I was going crazy or something. Spotify, please bring the christian and gospel genre back!
