New markets will have access to the service’s full global content library and Spotify will later adapt the catalogue to suit local tastes. Another added plus is that Spotify, according to the report by Engadget, will be working with local artists and rights holders in order to expand the libraries for each market.
This is great and sort of (SORT OF) softens the blow Zimbabweans suffered by the news that Skrill was leaving our teapot shaped country. It looks like there are some international services that are keen on making a move here.
There was no date mentioned for the launch, the report said: “over the coming days”. But I can live with “Spotify is coming to Zimbabwe” for now.

No more VPNs : )
This is the best you news ever. Yay. Was forced to move to Apple music coz Spotify wasn’t available in Zim.
Great for curated playlists
This means to that I’ll have to pay for premium😭. I don’t get ads because I turn off my VPN after sign in and ads are localised.
I find it odd that not many people know about Deezer in Zimbabwe. Similar functionality to Spotify without needing to use a VPN, Their library is almost as expansive and it features local content as well. Its been here for years, even before buddie beats.
In anycase its good news that spotify is coming to zimbabwe but honestly I am now over Spotify due to being region blocked for so long.
Deezer free version is TERRIBLE! Once that trial period expires, the restrictions are unbearable. Remember Spotify free version gives you almost full features just with ads. So Spotify free version is why people were jumping around with VPN – those users weren’t paying for premium! If they were, they didn’t need to coz premium account always allowed roaming so you could actually use your Spotify in non supported territories if you were a paid up premium member.
EXACTLY!!! I Have been using Deeper for more than four years now and its compatible for both Android and iOs devices
best news I’ve heard all day, can’t wait for the launch.
Exciting!!!
I can’t access Spotify. How painful keeps saying location settings need to be changed. Pitd
