Joanna Newsom says streaming services haven't been paying artists their fair share and major labels are the ones racking in the big dough.
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, the Have One on Me talent expressed her reasoning for keeping her music away from the bulk of streaming services (Pandora's the exception) and shared her distaste for Spotify.

'Spotify is like a villainous cabal of major labels,'; said Newsom. 'The business is built from the ground up as a way to circumvent the idea of paying their artists. The major labels were not particularly happy with the fact that as the royalty money dwindled more and more, their portion of the percentage split agreed upon in their licensing agreement got smaller and smaller.

'I mean, for all of its what seem to be many flaws that the Tidal system – I shouldn't say 'many flaws'; because I haven't researched Tidal enough. But I know it was kind of roundly made fun of because of the way in which it was unveiled to the world, but from what I gather they were trying to address the issues that make Spotify so very evil, I don't know if they successfully did it. I should look into it,'; said Newsom. 'I understand why Spotify is great. I wish there was a way to provide the service they provide and have nobody lose, nobody be victimized by that.';
Spotify has responded to Newsom's issues with their service with a statement defending their practices and encouraging the Pitchfork darling to meet with them.

'We'd love to sit down with Joanna and try and clear up some of the misunderstandings about how Spotify works to support artists, songwriters, and the whole music industry,'; reads a response from Spotify's global head of communications and public policy Jonathan Prince. 'For example, someone has led her to believe 'we don't pay artists anything' for advertising and subscriptions – in fact, we pay around 70 percent of all our revenue, from every single advertising and subscription dollar, in royalties. We're proud that we're the single biggest driver of growth in music right now, and we'd love to talk with Joanna about how we're making streaming work for artists and songwriters around the world, cause we'd love to work with her too.';
