Spotify has gone down again prompting several complaints on Twitter. There hasn’t been any official acknowledgment yet.

Many Spotify users took to Twitter and other social platforms with reports that the music streaming service isn’t working or loading for them. The outage could be due to the influx of curious users looking for Kanye West’s Donda album.

Fortunately, it seems that the service is now functional again or is at least back online for most subscribers.
