Aside from restarting and/or doing a clean reinstall of the app, it would be good if you disable background refresh: you can do this under Settings -> General -> Background Refresh.
Spotify advises users to delete the app and reinstall it. While this approach has helped some users, the majority still seem to be struggling with the problem. In addition to empty batteries and overheated devices, countless app crashes are also said to be a problem.
