There's a ton of stuff like this, where the original artist isn't on Spotify, but these "covers" are: https://open.spotify.com/track/6t6VE10ixs4wyyIgAbJzvz https://open.spotify.com/track/6t6VE10ixs4wyyIgAbJzvz https://open.spotify.com/artist/6RuIbUAQK9fmBq08AbY6XE https://open.spotify.com/artist/6RuIbUAQK9fmBq08AbY6XE Honestly, I wish Spotify would stop "improving" their client and use that money to get more artists on their service.
