Spotify’s 2025 Futures Program Spotlights Apihm
As Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month gets under way, Spotify is turning its global spotlight on three rising stars. In an Instagram post on April 10, the platform announced: “Celebrating APIHM with 3 new Spotify Singles from our 2025 Futures artists: Luna Li, Chance Emerson, & Snow Wife ✨.” The announcement comes on the heels of earlier teasers, including a post introducing the 2025 Futures class, captioned: “Introducing our 2025 Futures class: 🌟 SNOW WIFE, Chance Emerson, & Luna Li 🌟.” The accompanying collage shows each act against bold backdrops—a nod to the vibrancy of APIHM.
Meet The 2025 Futures Artists
Luna Li (real name: Haeyoon Ahn) has been building buzz since her 2023 debut EP. A classically trained multi-instrumentalist, she recently wrapped a sold-out Asia tour, stopping in Xiamen, Tokyo and Singapore. Fans can expect her new Spotify Single to showcase both her crystalline guitar work and emotive vocals.
Chance Emerson broke through last year with a string of intimate live performances in New York and Los Angeles. Known for his warm baritone and introspective lyricism, he joins the Futures roster with a recording that bridges folk and soul.
Snow Wife, the electronic-pop project of producer Megan Kamali, rounds out the trio. Her previous singles have racked millions of streams, and her new session for the campaign promises an ethereal take on contemporary synth-pop.
New Spotify Singles: Exclusive Recordings
Each artist has recorded a pair of tracks for Spotify Singles—an original and a cover—captured live in Spotify’s in-house studios. While specific song titles haven’t been disclosed, listeners can anticipate stripped-down arrangements that put the performers front and center. The releases will roll out weekly throughout May, culminating in a celebratory playlist curated by Spotify’s editorial team.
The program aims to amplify APIHM voices by featuring artists of Asian and Pacific Islander heritage. In a message on Instagram, Spotify’s account highlighted the initiative’s dual mission: showcasing cultural pride and expanding global reach for emerging talent.
Readers can stream the new tracks directly in the Spotify app under the “APIHM Futures Singles” hub. A behind-the-scenes video, due next week on Spotify’s social channels, will feature interviews with the artists reflecting on their heritage and creative process.
Fans of Luna Li, Chance Emerson and Snow Wife have already taken to social media to share snippets and reactions. Early previews have earned positive feedback for their sincerity and innovative production. Playlist curators are expected to add these recordings to high-impact editorial playlists, giving the artists a further boost during the heritage month.
As Spotify’s Futures program continues, the platform has committed to nominating a new cohort each year to represent diverse communities. This year’s APIHM spotlight not only underscores Spotify’s ongoing support for emerging voices but also enriches the listening landscape with fresh perspectives.
In the weeks ahead, subscribers can look forward to more exclusive content tied to APIHM, including artist takeovers, live video sessions and curated podcasts exploring heritage stories.
Spotify’s latest Singles release reinforces the platform’s pledge to celebrate cultural milestones while driving discovery for tomorrow’s headliners. Listeners eager for the tracks can keep an eye on Spotify’s social feeds or tune directly into the Dedicated APIHM Futures page to catch each release as it drops this month.
Today’s initiative continues a broader trend of streaming services partnering with underrepresented artists. By carving out dedicated space for APIHM celebrations, Spotify sets a precedent for elevating community-focused programming.
