Hey! Well, you are correct, it calls the Spotify API synchronously on each character.
I didn't know how to make asynchronous calls with Emacs when I first made this package, and never revisited it either.
If you want to write some elisp I would gladly help you with everything you need, it's a thing that I had in mind but never got around to actually code it 😅

I had some time this weekend and could address this issue.
There was an Ivy new version that brought the feature of asynchronous candidate lists, so I change all the calls to Spotify to be non-blocking and used this new feature to fill up the possible tracks/albums/artists.
From this commit on, the Spotify completion should feel snappier, so let me know if that solved the problem for you!
