The tool will be a paid add-on for Premium subscribers. Artists will be able to opt out of the program, but those who do participate will collect royalties on these AI remixes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">In October of last year, Spotify announced that it was working with UMG, as well as other major labels, Sony Music Group, Warner Music Group, Merlin, and Believe, to create \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/800629\/spotify-ai-music-sony-umg-wmg-merlin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">responsible AI products<\/a>.\u201d At the time, it was unclear exactly what that meant.

The launch of fan-made covers and remixes that can be shared, but feed royalties back to the original artist, would seem to satisfy those goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2026-05-21\/universal-music-group-spotify-licensing-agreements-fan-made-covers-remixes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a>, Spotify Co-CEO Alex Norstr\u00f6m said, \u201cWhat we\u2019re building is grounded in consent, credit, and compensation for the artists and songwriters that take part.\u201d Sir Lucian Grainge, CEO of UMG, added that, \u201cThe most valuable innovations in the music business always bring artists and fans closer together. That principle is at the heart of this pioneering AI-enabled superfan initiative, which is designed to support human artistry, deepen fan relationships, and create additional revenue opportunities for artists and songwriters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Spotify hasn\u2019t said exactly when the new tool will launch or how much it will cost beyond a Premium subscription.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spotify and Universal Music Group (UMG) just announced a licensing deal that will allow users to prompt the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":976103,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[9],"tags":[323,77,269,12,6603,16,15],"class_list":["post-976102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ai","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-news","tag-spotify","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116614126906141115","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/976102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=976102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/976102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/976103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=976102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=976102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=976102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
