⭐️ Sleep Fruits Music: ‘The craziest thing I’ve ever seen on Spotify’

Apparently Spotify has a ‘King of Sleep Music’, although sadly that isn’t (yet) a job title for an employee curating white-noise and wave-sounds playlists for the streaming service. No, according to Rolling Stone, the reigning monarch of Spotify slumber-songs is an account called Sleep Fruits Music. “The craziest thing I’ve ever seen on Spotify,” as one interviewee put it.
