Mashable! - Spotify Nabs EMI for U.S. Launch [REPORT]

The Spotify rumor mill is turning once more, this time with the news that Spotify has finalized a U.S. distribution deal with EMI.

According to All Things Digital‘s sources, the currently in-flux record label is now on board with Spotify, a popular music subscription service not yet available stateside. Although Spotify has declined to confirm as much, Sony also recently joined the party (a fact we have gleaned via sources close to the matter). That means Spotify needs one more label to get access to American consumers.

We have reached out to Spotify and EMI for comment.

Now that Spotify has two labels on board (and Warner at least thinking about the matter, if comments made during a recent earnings call by CEO Edgar Bronfman are any indication), we could finally see the subscription service in the U.S. soon.

We’ll keep you updated when we know more about the matter.
