Songs that were on the platform are taken off?

For context, Hozier (artist) has 5 covers that were removed from the platform a few years ago. Ok, nbd, I get it, licensing changes.

Recently the songs reappeared only to be removed again a few weeks later. I'm not sure if this is the artist's choice or whether Spotify just... didn't want to renew their rights, but I'm wondering if there's any way to get them back 🙂

They're such gorgeous renditions, it's such a shame to be without them.

Hey there @loganmc1ntosh,  

Thanks for posting on the Community about this.

If you can't see certain tracks by Hozier it's possible they're currently not available in your region. We're constantly working hard to add music to Spotify's content database, but availability can vary over time and between countries, depending on agreements between Spotify and rights holders, such as artists or record labels.

We add new content to Spotify every day, so if you can’t find the covers you’re looking for right now, they may reappear soon. Alternatively, you can always contact the artist or record label with your query as well.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
