 Art d'Ecco - Desires 

Emerging from the Gulf Islands off the coast of British Columbia, West Coast rocker Art d'Ecco creates a sound that leaves listeners intrigued and wrapped up in the mystery of it all. His lyrics and sound reflect current obsessions and his performance persona demands attention. 

His newest single, Desires, is featured on the album In Standard Definition, one that takes listeners on a journey through the glory days of celebrity to the current obsession that we see now. Specifically, Desires introduces a style that “salutes the aging, out-of-touch performers from soap star to game show host,” according to Art d'Ecco.

Spotify Responds To Drake’s UMG Legal Action, Blasting ‘False’ Claims & Demanding Dismissal

The rapper claims Spotify helped UMG boost Kendrick's "Not Like Us," but Spotify now says the action is a "subversion" of the legal system and never should have been filed.

Spotify is firing back at Drake’s accusations that the streamer helped Universal Music Group artificially boost Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” calling the allegations “false” and blasting the rapper’s legal action as a “subversion of the normal judicial process.”

The new filing is the first response to a petition filed last month in which Drake accused UMG and Spotify of an illegal “scheme” involving bots, payola and other methods to pump up Lamar’s song — a track that savagely attacked Drake amid an ongoing feud between the two stars.
