Spotify's 'Noteable Releases' playlist showcases new trackers from popular producers, songwriters

Spotify's newest playlist wants to highlight the notable producers and songwriters behind the biggest songs out there. Playfully named the "Noteable Releases," the curated playlist features songs from leading names in the music industry. This week's cover is frequent Billie Eilish collaborator/brother Finneas O'Connell, who has helped her craft her songs. The playlist doesn't just stick to pop songs, but it's obviously heavily represented in the playlist. 

This new feature follows last year's release of songwriter playlists and pages. If you're curious about who makes your favourite music, the app continues to let you dig deeper. As Engadget noted, you can see who worked on a song by simply tapping on the three dots icon and select Show credits.
