Those who enjoy the latest music on Spotify will see their cost go up in December as the company makes changes to its subscription plans.

In an email to Spotify Premium subscribers on Wednesday, the company said that starting on their billing date in December, the price in Canada will rise from $10.99 a month to $12.69 a month, plus applicable taxes.

According to the email, the change comes so Spotify can “continue to innovate on our product offerings and features.”
