Spotify and ELLE Once Again Collaborate in Celebration of Emerging Women in Music

April 22, 2025

Spotify has an unwavering commitment to supporting emerging artists across all genres, to helping them launch and thrive in their careers, and to connecting them with fans across the globe.

And for the second year running, we’ve teamed up with ELLE, the world’s largest fashion magazine and media brand. Together, we’re again spotlighting the women featured in its May 2025 Women in Music issue, including artists whose careers began as social media sensations, first appeared on film and TV, and are currently rocking the charts.

Follow Spotify and ELLE on Instagram to see exclusive content that captures the stars of the Women in Music issue, including cover star Addison Rae, who opens up about taking creative risks with her new music and moving beyond her influencer label to define herself on her own terms. With her debut album out on Columbia Records later this year, Rae is pirouetting her way into the global pop vanguard. “I feel like I’ve surpassed Addison Rae,” she says. “It’s just Addison now.”

Also in the mix: Madison Beer opens up about the pressure of growing up on camera, how her social anxiety impacts appearances on red carpets and at award shows, how Chappell Roan’s Grammys speech was really “validating” to her own experience in the industry, and why she’s finally done chasing approval. “I’m really proud of where I am,” Madison says. “If my younger self met me right now, she’d be like, ‘You’re the coolest girl on earth. I get to be you one day? That’s so sick.’”

Finally, in addition to sharing images from the cover on special billboards in New York City and LA, we’ve invited ELLE to curate a special playlist with a selection of tracks from artists found in the issue.

We are also dedicated to fostering gender equity in the music industry and beyond via our EQUAL Global Music Program. 

And now we’ve added another dimension to both initiatives by teaming up with ELLE, the world’s largest fashion magazine and media brand. Together, we’re spotlighting the breakthrough women featured in its May 2024 Music Issue. 

“ELLE is both a window that showcases inspiring stories to our readers and a mirror that reflects who we are as a society. That includes the women currently leading the cultural conversation with their music and style,” adds ELLE Editor-in-Chief Nina Garcia. “We are so happy to partner with Spotify on our annual Music Issue and further engage our audience on another platform.”

Our collaboration with ELLE allowed us to tap into offerings both on and off the platform, to heighten visibility for each of the artists featured, and engage with fans both old and new.”
