The Nottinghillbillies

The Nottinghillbillies

Spotify is claiming to be releasing new Notting Hillbillies music, but the songs are 30 second long hip hop beats. 

 

Why is this? Because I don't belive the bans are releasing new music?

Hey @GuardGomazoa12,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome.

 

As the music is uploaded to our platform by different distributors, it's possible that an artist with a similar name just uploaded new music. However, it's also possible that the songs you mentioned were uploaded under the wrong name.

 

To keep investigating, would you mind sending the URI of these songs to have a better look?

 

We'll be on the lookout.

Hey there @GuardGomazoa12,

 

Thanks for the post.

 

We've looked further into this and it appears that this is a new Artist who has the same name as the original band. 

 

If you're getting recommendations about this Artist in playlists like Release Radar instead of the original The Notting Hillbillies, you can check out this thread for more info on the matter. You can report this following the steps in this article. Our content team will have a look and decide if this indeed infringement by a new artist in order to gain more listens.

 

Hope you find this information helpful.
