On digital platforms, performers, featuring artists, and remixers are commonly acknowledged, while supporting roles might be less visible. Digital music providers are increasingly supporting and requiring these roles for proper crediting. It's recommended to provide detailed information during release to enhance how they are displayed.
Primary Artist: the main artist that performed on the track
Featured Artist: an artist that performed on a track but was not the main artist (e.g. “Primary Artist - Title (feat. Featured Artist)”)
Remixer: the client(s) who has reworked an original track
Contributor: the client(s) who were involved in the track, but won’t get credited (similar to “Artist Hidden”, in the previous Label Engine interface)
Payee: the client(s) who did not contribute to the track, but will get paid
AI Artist Info:
You can now make a selection that the artist you are listing on your release is a fully generated AI artist, which will create an AI Artist persona on Spotify.
If you select AI artist under the artist profile:
Applies to the selected alias everywhere, not just this track: the group members of every track credited to this alias are replaced by the single “Generative AI” credit the next time that track is saved.
The artist profile will have an AI persona badge on Spotify.
The AI credit provides additional context about the role of AI in an artist’s creative process. It doesn’t affect how their music is surfaced to listeners on Spotify.
Example of when to use this tag:
You wrote the lyrics, but the rest is AI-generated.
Main Artist - AI Artist
Producer, Musician - AI credit
You - Lyrics
You have the ability to list out certain credits and group members as made by AI in Label Engine.
You will now see an "AI" checkbox next to group members. When you select this, every role next to that group member is tagged as AI-generated. You will see the selections you made.
An example of when you would use this is:
A human generates lyrics using AI, but creates everything else themselves and releases it under their own name -
Primary Artist: Human Artist Name
Group Member 1: Human Artist Name
Roles for Group Member 1: Vocals, Producer
Group Member 2: GenerativeAI
Roles for Group Member 2: Lyrics AI
You also have the ability to add AI credits to a human group member.
An example of when you would use this:
A human writes a song and uses AI to translate his voice into a different language. The song is released under the human's name -
Primary Artist: Human Artist Name
Group Member 1: Human Artist Name
Roles for Group Member 1: Vocals AI, Producer, Lyrics
