Two Different Bands, Same Name

[nickwade]

The band Night Moves has released one album, Colored Emotions. However there is another band called night moves that has released several albums. When I want to listen to Colored Emotions on my android with spotify free I don't mind shuffling the album or listening to suggested tracks. However it bothers me when the other night moves begins playing because they are a completely different type of band in a completely different genre. I was wondering if anything could be done about this and if they could be separated?

This issue is rooted a little deeper than just multiple artists on the same page. Spotify currently does not have a way in the clients to separate artists with the same name automatically, meaning anytime this happens the artists get merged onto a single page. There is a discussion about it over on the Ideas Exchange here.

Identical problem exists with the artist name ANTAEUS

There is the Chill Electronica artist Alexx Antaeus https://soundcloud.com/alexx_antaeus , as well as the French Death Metal band. Totally different genres of music.

Another case is Pacific Link ... 2 projects with the same name, 1 is Trance, the other Electronica.

Please fix this. Thanks.
