Spotify has made plenty of waves in its native Europe, but can the streaming music service possible live up to the hype of an American tech press that has deemed it the savior of the music industry? We may well soon find out. It seems that the Swedish music may soon be arriving on our shores.
According to a new report, the site its about to strike a deal with Sony Music–a move that marks its immanent move to the States. “Spotify is launching in the US, for sure,” someone identified only as a “music executive” told The New York Post. “They’ve got the deals now.”
Spotify responded, “Negotiations are progressing well, but [we have] nothing to confirm at this stage.”
The service offers free ad-supported service and a premium model that offers improved features like an increased bit rate. Spotify recently struck a deal with Shazam in Europe, offering access to the service’s library of content.
