Several artists have withdrawn their music from Spotify in an attempt to make the website part ways with its biggest star Joe Rogan, but self-deprecating British singer James Blunt has now come up with a counterstrategy to achieve the same goal.
Blunt took to Twitter on Sunday to make it clear to his two million followers that he had no intention of joining his colleagues.
“If Spotify doesn’t immediately remove Joe Rogan, I will release new music onto the platform,” he wrote, in a humorous threat.
The post also included #youwerebeautiful hashtag, a reference to Blunt’s greatest hit “You’re Beautiful,” which came out in 2004 on the platinum album ‘Back to Bedlam.’
The 47-year-old singer and songwriter has always waxed cynical about his inability to ever repeat that success.
A few years ago, he corrected a critic on Twitter, who’d said that Blunt had “stopped being relevant in 2009.” According to the artist, this had happened already, in 2006.
