My Bloody Valentine has criticised Spotify for showing incorrect lyrics on the shoegaze pioneers’ songs on the platform.Spotify launched its lyric feature for all users in November of 2021, allowing fans to read along to lyrics while they listened to a song.“Just noticed that Spotify has put fake lyrics up for our songs without our knowledge.

These lyrics are actually completely incorrect and insulting,” the band tweeted. “We’re not sure where they got them from, probably one of those bullshit lyrics sites on the internet.”At the time of its announcement last year, the streaming giants said they had partnered with lyrics database company Musixmatch for the function.

Lyric cards on Spotify still say they are licensed and provided by Musixmatch.Just noticed that Spotify has put fake lyrics up for our songs without our knowledge.

These lyrics are actually completely incorrect and insulting.
