Shuffle Play from Artist Problem: Music definitely not from artist in question starts playing

Status: Not An Issue
0 Likes

Often times on my mobile device, using the Spotify free app I go to a composer of soundtracks, most usually Ramin Djawadi and Murray Gold, and tap shuffle pay.  Lately, as in the last several months, when I do so after a number of tracks from their varying soundtrack albums I get suggested songs playing that are most certainly not of a similar genre like Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Robin Thicke, Lady Gaga, et cetera.  I find this very annoying as it throws off all sense of musical coordination.  How do I stop this from happening or can you do something to stop this?  This happened on my Windows Phone, and is happening again on my current Samsung Galaxy J3 Android phone. If you or anyone can help that would be great.  I specifically mentioned Ramin Djawadi and Murray Gold there because if this is a number of tracks and/or album quantity issue their discography upon Soptify can be referenced as informational material.  Thank you.
