Spotify's new [Spotify For Artists](https://artists.spotify.com/?ref=hypebot.com) toolkit is designed to be a one-stop shop for artists on the music streamer. It includes access to audience insights and song data, plus tools to manage their artist profile. Artist verification and artist playlisting are also part of the new Spotify for Artists.

Existing verified artists will remain verified, unverified artists no longer need to fill out a separate request to get verified, and artist playlisting is being simplified.
