Superstar by Luther Vandross ends to soon

Please please for the love of music, play Luther Vandross' Superstar to the end. The ending is the best part and when you fade it out before it ends is just cruel. Please play it in its entirety

@hayestina Nice to see you around the community.

I definitely hear where you are coming from, but we're caught in a complicated set of licensing rules that were designed for the world of pop songs and ignore the realities of how music is presented by the record labels. One rule prevents us from playing a number of consecutive tracks from the same album.

Unfortunately, many labels choose to divide intros (and sometimes longer songs) into separate tracks. We are required to treat each track as a separate "song". The result is as you describe. We're torn between offering portions of fine performances of outstanding music and not offering those works at all.

That being said, you may consider upgrading to Pandora Premium, which allows you to search and play full albums on-demand.

I believe this is the version of the song you are looking for: Superstar / Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)

For now, I hope this helps explain. Happy listening!
