Music is what feelings sound like. It is no secret that listeners associate romantic thoughts and feelings with their favorite love songs. Music and podcasts can connect people in a deep, personal way and you can learn a lot about a person based on what they are listening to. So this Valentine’s Day, Spotify is sharing some trends they’re seeing from their listeners in the UAE. As people overwhelmingly want dating and relationship advice, Spotify saw an increase of 280% of U.A.E listeners streaming love-themed podcasts compared to this time last year.
