My Question or Issue

So, I went to go play a song on Spotify today, and noticed that "Let's Talk About **bleep**" by Salt-N-Pepa was greyed out. I tried clicking on it to play, adding it to queue, and I even ensured that my account is not filtering explicit content or blocking the artist, but the song is just not working. Their song "Push It" is also greyed out and won't play. Does this just mean that the songs are no longer going to be available on Spotify? Or is there a way to fix this issue?

Hey there @fg5276,

Thanks for reaching out!

Keep in mind that content availability varies over time and between countries depending on permissions from the rights holders. If the content is greyed out and unplayable, that means it's currently not available in your country.

No worries, though. We add new content every day, so if you can't find something right now, it might reappear in the future.

Hope this sheds some light on the matter. The Community will be here if anything else comes up.

Cheers!

This is very unfortunate. Every version of that song is available except the original. I have to listen to it on you tube music which is not my go to app. This is beyond frustrating.

Purely speculative, but I think they’re re-recording their music to avoid paying royalties to Spinderella like Taylor Swift did when her music catalogue was owned by

someone else.
