NEW YORK, United States (AFP) — Music streaming giant Spotify is teaming up with Universal Music Group to let users create AI-powered remixes and covers of songs by artists on the label — for an extra fee on top of a standard subscription.
The new feature, announced Thursday, will only apply to artists who have given their consent, and both the original performer and songwriter will receive a share of any revenue generated.
“For the first time, fans will be able to legally create covers and remixes from participating artists and songwriters’ catalogues, with both the original artist and the songwriter sharing in the value created,” said Charlie Hellman, Spotify’s head of music, speaking at the company’s investor day.
