Spotify Lays Out Roadmap to Higher Margins: Here’s the Plan
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek and a parade of top executives had a simple message for investors in a live-streamed presentation from New York on Wednesday (June 8): Our margins will be better. Although the company has communicated its long-term vision through quarterly earnings calls, press releases and occasional Wall Street conferences, it hasn’t gathered the investment community for a meaningful conversation since going public in 2018. “I’m not sure that journey’s very well understood,” said Ek. “And, frankly, we probably haven’t done a very good job explaining it.” Despite posting 24% revenue growth in both 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, the company’s share price is down 51.7% in 2022. As CEO, Ek’s job on Wednesday was to captain the nearly four-hour presentation communicating to investor...

Belle and Sebastian Release Video for New Song “A Bit of Previous”: Watch
Belle and Sebastian recently released a new album called A Bit of Previous, but if you check the tracklist, you’ll notice that there is not a title track. Weeks after the album’s release, the band has now released a new song called “A Bit of Previous.” Check out the animated video from Graham Samuels and Henrik Appel below. Stuart Murdoch came up with the video’s concept. “The song touched on the themes of karma and reincarnation,” Murdoch said in a statement. “In the clip a woman journeys through her life ‘seeing’ people’s karma. She sees what they are and what they will become. She sees people who are doing well, who are gods in this life. ‘Just because you’ve got the highground/Doesn’t mean you’re have the most fun.’ She imagines them transform into different life forms, even into walki...
