Seven days ago, we here at Crossfade got word that Spotify and Midtown’s Ricochet Lounge were putting together a four-day Art Basel Miami Beach concert series, dubbed Music Loves Art, starring Nas, Theophilus London, TV on the Radio, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.
At the time, there weren’t many details, except the names and the venue. So we’ve spent the last week listening — non-fucking-stop — to the free on-demand music service, seeking subliminal messages.
But when that means of reporting failed, we simply asked Spotify’s PR people for a press release. And they promptly delivered, providing a full Music Loves Art show schedule, not to mention a final lineup addition — Penguin Prison.
UPDATE Bad news: You are not invited to Spotify’s Art Basel Miami Beach concert series. Good news: You can win tix or watch it on The Internet.
When news happens, Miami New Times is there —

We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
