3. observe

Can you share the album/playlist it's happening with?

[bean-frog]

sure.
after some investigation it looks like only descriptions are affected.
heres a screenshot of 2 playlists where this happens: (Android 14, OneUI 6.0, latest Spotube release from F-Droid)

heres what the same playlists look like on the spotify web player (CachyOS arch-based, kernel version 6.7.9-2 stable, XFCE/xfwm4, latest spotube version from AUR)

[bean-frog]

oops, i meant to also upload spotube desktop (linux as described above)

Beyoncé is shown as Beyoncé on the home screen. On the artist page, everything seems to be fine.
