This tool aims to help artists better control songs associated with their names. Spotify said that the situation of music being mistakenly posted on artist pages has existed for a long time and has become more serious as AI music becomes increasingly easy to produce.
Accordingly, artists participating in the test can view, approve or reject releases sent to Spotify. Only approved content is displayed on the profile, included in statistics and appears in suggestions to listeners.
This move was made after Sony Music said it had requested the removal of more than 135,000 fake AI songs of artists on platforms. Spotify admitted that distribution expansion helps independent artists release music more easily, but also creates loopholes for errors and misuse, such as data errors, artist name overlaps or deliberately attaching music to other people's profiles.
Spotify warns that when this situation occurs, it can affect the music library, data, features and how fans access music. This is also one of the biggest demands from artists in the past year - to have control over content before it is displayed under their name.
The new feature is not mandatory for all artists, but is especially useful for those who have encountered incorrect releases, have popular stage names, or want to strictly control personal profiles.
Test participants can turn on the feature in the "Spotify for Artists" section on the web or mobile, receive notifications via email when there is new content associated with their name and decide to accept or reject.
