Spotify’s ‘Artist Liaison’ Role: Corporate Babysitter for Stream Queens
On April 25, 2024, Spotify delivered a masterclass in modern corporate hierarchy by creating a new role called 'Artist Liaison' — yes, essentially a fancy babysitter for musicians navigating the streaming jungle. This job, born from the confusing chaos of royalty splits and playlist dramas, aims to align with the "streaming era" hustle where singles drop like fast food, not albums. The job description brags about being an intermediary between artists and Spotify's suits, making sure those artists don’t rage-quit the platform when royalties are smaller than a TikTok paycheck. Spotify, still boxed into late-stage capitalism, tries to appear supportively woke but basically hired someone to calm down billion-dollar music corporations’ paper cuts. This gig screams big 'Tech Bro Charm School' energy meets 'patriarchy in sneakers.'
