Lorde has officially joined over 1,000 artists and labels in the “No Music for Genocide” boycott, blocking her music from being streamed in Israel. Other acts, like IDLES , MUNA, Caribou, and TOKiMONSTA, have followed suit as well.
In its own words, the “No Music for Genocide” movement is a response to “the genocide in Gaza; ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank; apartheid within Israel; and political repression of Pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live.” In doing so, it joined a growing list of entertainment movements with similar goals. In plain terms, the music of the artists involved will no longer be available on streaming services within Israel.
