Spotify Builds Entire Campaign Around Weird Playlist Names

This campaign follows Spotify teaming up with weather forecasting provider AccuWeather to launch a new tool that generates music playlists based on the moods of weather patterns in different locations.

The campaign by Wieden + Kennedy New York includes out-of-home placements which will be up for six weeks in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. With online videos featuring musicians Alessia Cara, DNCE and D.R.A.M., who all marvel at their absurdity of the playlist:
