Spotify will unveil what's next for the newly public streaming service at an event in NYC

Daniel Ek is a Swedish entrepreneur and a technologist who started the music streaming service Spotify. Just three weeks after it went public, Spotify plans to host an event for the press in New York Tuesday morning, where we'll likely get the first clues to where the music streaming service goes from here. The Swedish company didn't reveal much in its press invitation, other to say that we'd hear what's next for the company's mobile app. That doesn't necessarily rule out a new hardware announcement from Spotify, though it is hard to predict what that product or products could be. One logical guess might be a smart, voice-driven speaker, a market currently dominated by Amazon's Echo speakers with Alexa, and that also includes various Google Homes and the Apple HomePod.
