Kingston’s Sarah Perrotta, who just released a new album, “Blue to Gold,” was a wee bit embarrased to see her Spotify Wrapped list.
Baron, who also played keyboards on “BRIGHTSIDE” and has worked with Lenny Kravitz and Shania Twain, added, “You think, OK, it’s a little bit vain.
“I was listening to every playlist were in.
In another Spotify twist, Baron ranked number three on Perrotta’s personalized list of top artists for 2021, which the streaming service shares with subscribers on their year-end Wrapped list.

Woodstock musician Simi Stone, who in addition to her own career, has performed with Natalie Merchant and David Byrne of Talking Heads fame, is an outlier when it comes to the Spotify universe.
