Photographer: Gabby Jones/BloombergWelcome back to Soundbite. Today we’re looking at a recent album finding an audience outside of Spotify. As always, reach me through email, and if you haven’t yet subscribed to this newsletter, please do so here . Tell a friend to sign up, too.
Also, Soundbite is doing a bit of traveling in May. I’ll be in Bogotá for BIME Pro and would love to see all you music folks down there. I’ll also be at the Podcast Show in London at the end of the month and am hoping to meet podcasters and executives based there. Let me know if you’ll be in town.
