Spotify Ltd. said it will include music from Prince’s Warner Bros. catalog on its streaming service starting Sunday, making widely available the work of an artist who jealously guarded his copyrights.
The Stockholm-based music streaming company said in an e-mail that it worked directly with Warner Bros. on the “Purple” outdoor advertising campaign, rather than with the late pop singer’s estate. The Warner catalog includes hits “Purple Rain,” and “Raspberry Beret.”
