Music listed under artist with similar name

Two artists combined under the same name "Adie"

The Adie I originally added to my station is a CCM artist, but it has been combined with another Adie with explicit songs and albums.  This definitely needs to be fixed!

Thanks for reporting this, @mdingel.

I have escalated your feedback to our curation team so they can help look into it further.

Driftwood is an American folk band with multiple albums.

There's also an Australian musician named Driftwood.

When you search Driftwood, the profile pic is from Driftwood (AU), with only one of his songs.

When you play Driftwood Radio, is all the Driftwood (US) songs.

Both should be selectable...as both artists couldn't be more different. I know Driftwood (US) personally.

On the album "Planet Chill 2017" there's a song called Sunset by "The Midnight" that is being incorrectly attributed to the artist "Midnight (Metal)."  Did a double-take when the song was recommending "Similar Artists" Slayer and Venom for a synthwave track.

Link to the track.  https://pandora.app.link/dOQhNAmKNob

I cant find the actual Vantage artist as a separate entity to list.

https://www.pandora.com/artist/vantage/j-funk-city-vantages-edits-collection/ALKmntPffXmKVZ6

The J-Pop Vantage has several albums that it has otherwise.

I already reported this once but have since noticed that it has gotten worse. 

Afterglow - 1960s Rock band from Oregon. 

Afterglow - 2000s Christian Vocal Duo from Utah

Afterglow - Current Metal band from Mexico City. 

all their music is all listed under the same artist. this is totally wrong now …

[AdamPandora]

@BigPapaMoon I am going to check in with our curation team about this one again.

Thanks for your patience in the meantime!

[SSangervasi]

This issue still exists. It's made worse that the "For you" section that the app shoves in your face can recommend a new song from an artist you like, except it's some other artist with the same name. Today I was told there was a new "Dusky" release: "F*ck this Lifestyle." Instead of high-quality house track I got a soundcloud rapper. It's possible some artists are using this ambiguity to sneak into people's recommendations, but this one was probably just a mistake on Pandora's part.

Two artists combined under the name Louis XIV. The one I originally added is an Indie Rock band (that I'm looking forward to seeing new releases from!) The new one is an explicit hip-hop artist. Definitely needs to be separated!

The artist t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 is listed for the release "Everybody In The Club (Single)" which is actually by Telepath (a house artist).

(The latter has multiple artist pages on Pandora -- I'll post about that in the relevant thread shortly.)

Thanks!
