Playing specific songs using Google voice

Google voice has been completely changed recently and it's a major problem. Asking "ok google, play rockstar by post malone" used to say "Sure, playing on spotify" and would play that exact song, no questions asked.

Recently, it stopped working and a new way of searching for music with voice came out where now it creates a radio based around what you asked for, barely EVER playing the actual song I want. Now if I ask "ok google, play rockstar by post malone", it plays "Gamba by Brockhampton" in a "song radio based on 'rockstar'". This is NOT a good or even acceptable solution. Who ever came up with that needs a right kick up the behind.

I don't know if this is Google's or Spotify's fault, but it really should be fixed.

I would (and many others have voiced their opinion similar to this as well) like it to be changed to the following:

If I request a song as I said above, it should (in order):

- If I'm listening to a playlist and the song is in that playlist, simply play the requested song from the playlist.
- If already in a playlist, but I'm not listening to anything, play it from that playlist.

- If the song is not in my list or playlist, play JUST the song and go back to what I was listening to by default instead of playing random songs based around/similar to the song I asked for.

I would also think it would be INCREDIBLY useful if there was a way to say "ok google, add rockstar by post malone to my play queue" and that way, it's a seamless playing of songs I request, rather than either hoping for my song to play or having to manually restart my playlist after the requested song ends.

Thank you.

I'm too having this problem. I like to use spotify in my car with android auto and google assistant to request songs. If I request only band, then mostly it understands, but if I request something in more details, usually it is some unrelated nonsense.

What is odd is that it seems google voice correctly gets my message, but it still plays either incorrect song or won't play anything.

For example I say "Play Perfect Circle The Doomed". Then I hear answer from google "Sure, asking spotify to play The Doomed by Perfect Circle". And what I get is some random song from some random album.
