Salvador Sobral returned to Spotify, the music streaming platform from which he had distanced himself in 2020. The Portuguese singer, winner of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2017, had made the decision to leave the platform as a form of protest, but eventually went back on his decision.
The article's title compares Spotify to a "Goliath too strong to face alone," referring to the difficulty an individual artist has in competing with such a dominant streaming platform in the music market.
Salvador Sobral revealed that he tried to appeal to a collective boycott among fellow musicians and the public, in a perspective he considered utopian. The artist stated he invested all his efforts in this attempt at mobilization, hoping others would join his cause.
However, when he looked back, Salvador Sobral noted that no one had joined his protest. This loneliness in his movement against Spotify reportedly led the musician to reconsider his position and eventually return to the platform.
