Spotify, I owe you an apology — my smart TV finally got Spotify after years of waiting, and now I love its roster of music videos

For years, the author had been a devoted Spotify user, but the smart TV she owned stood alone as the one device without the Spotify app. The Hisense 43A6NTUK smart TV, a beloved piece of technology, was let down by VIDAA OS, which did not support the Spotify app. However, in June, Spotify finally launched on VIDAA TVs, and the author was thrilled to finally have access to the music streaming service on their TV.

Since the arrival of Spotify on her TV, the author has been using it extensively, filling a void that had been present for a long time. They also discovered that they enjoyed watching music videos on Spotify, a revelation that had been long overdue. Although the mobile experience of Spotify's music videos had been clunky and disorganized, the big screen experience was a different story.

Before the Spotify TV app, the author had relied on YouTube for music video streaming. However, Spotify's interface proved to be a better fit for the author. The author had previously dismissed Spotify's music video integration, but now they appreciate the platform's capabilities. They've even gone so far as to create playlists dedicated to music videos, making them an integral part of their music experience.

The author considers themselves a pop culture historian, and Spotify's music videos have become a significant aspect of their obsession. They've created playlists spanning various decades, filled with nostalgic hits from the past. The author finds joy in revisiting their parents' youth through these music videos, enriching their knowledge of pioneering artists and their impact on the music industry.
