Alexa plays "similar songs" instead of playlist

Just recently whenever I ask Alexa to play one of my playlists it responds that it is playing “<playlist name> and similar songs”.  It then proceeds to play similar songs only and none from my playlist.  Any idea how I can stop this?

Can’t be stopped. Prime Music is now basically a customised radio station.

 

Here’s an official announcement.

Thank you. That’s very helpful, albeit disappointing.

I have discovered that if I use the Sonos app instead of Alexa, I can see a link to my playlist in My Sonos and if I click on it it plays.
