Can I get a "hallelujah" because Spotify is set to roll out the ability for users to mute or "block" artistes they don't want to hear

The feature was originally set to roll out in 2017, reported Mashable Southeast Asia, but the service decided against releasing it following "serious consideration".
Currently, only a selected number of app users will be able to test out the new feature
A quick check on the desktop app found that the feature was not available.
By turning on the feature, it would allow users to block particular artists from being included in playlists, libraries, charts, and radio stations.
However, the "block" will not apply to tracks which the artiste is featured on.
