Spotify has rolled out its latest campaign in India, bringing together the diverse linguistic and cultural fabric of the country through music. Tapping into the everyday experience of commuting, the audio streaming platform launched a series of ads in four languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam — to reinforce how music can transform mundane journeys into memorable ones.
The heart of the campaign beats with a relatable question: “Toh aaj raaste mein kya suna?” (So, what did you listen to on the way today?). The films creatively showcase how common sounds like a honk, ringtone, or even a passerby’s remark can trigger a song in someone’s head — a testimony to how music is intrinsically tied to daily life in India.
Conceptualised by Leo India, the campaign comprises four distinct ads, each centred around a different mode of transport — the metro, bus, autorickshaw, and car — offering a slice-of-life look into India’s commuting culture. Whether it’s a student on a metro or a professional stuck in traffic, each film demonstrates how music on Spotify helps Indians find joy and rhythm amidst the chaos of travel.
By embracing regional languages and local nuances, Spotify not only aims to increase user engagement but also deepens its cultural resonance in India — a country where music is both personal and social, often bridging gaps between regions, emotions, and generations.
