Prince Rumors Ignite After Purple Spotify Ads Appear in New York City
Is Prince finally releasing his discography on Spotify?
You may have already seen the ads in Manhattan's Union Square subway station--they're simple and ambiguous: a wash of aubergine with a small Spotify logo.
Though the ads are understated, they likely signal something exciting in the pipeline for Spotify, as Billboard suggests. Buzz about the possible release of Prince's music to streaming services in time for the 2017 Grammys has been building for months now, and these ads validate our suspicions.

Check them all out on Billboard.
