Music streaming platform Spotify has introduced a new feature that will allow users to block artists from appearing on the app.

What does this means? Well, a blocked artist’s music will not be available throughout the app, even on automatically curated playlists like Spotify’s Discover, global music charts and radios.

This feature is already live for a number of iOS users, with the mute or block feature accessible from the menu on an artiste’s page (the dots). Users then select the “Don’t play this artist” option to enable the blocking feature, and they will get a “Okay, we won’t play music from this artist” message.

This is on the back of many users who requested that Spotify enable an artiste blocking feature on the platform. Especially for artistes like R. Kelly, who is facing intense public backlash after the documentary Surviving R. Kelly aired in the United States detailing his alleged sexual misconduct against underage girls. The hashtag #MuteRKelly began trending on social media.

As for Android and Web/desktop users, Spotify has not mentioned a release time-frame just yet.
