Spotify and Liquid Death have collaborated to launch the Eternal Playlist Urn, a limited-edition Bluetooth speaker shaped like a cremation urn. Only 150 units are available in the United States, priced at $495. The urn is not intended to hold ashes but serves as a collector's item and a marketing stunt. Spotify describes it as the world's first music-streaming urn, designed to allow users to create personalized 'Eternal Playlists' that sync with the speaker. This initiative is part of Spotify's ongoing hardware experimentation, following previous collaborations with IKEA and the discontinued Car Thing. Liquid Death is known for its outrageous marketing campaigns, and this product aligns with its brand strategy of dark humor and limited-edition merchandise. The collaboration aims to generate publicity and attract attention to both brands.
