Spotify has indicated that it plans to launch a new service in early 2027 that will allow users to edit cover songs using generative AI, while establishing a system to return revenue to the original artists. The move was reported together with the service’s expected launch timing and possible pricing, as reported by the FT.
Spotify has indicated that it plans to introduce a feature allowing users to edit cover songs using generative AI. Specific implementation details and the form of the service have not been disclosed, but the major music streaming company is positioning it as a new application of AI.
The company has stated that it will establish a revenue model that includes returning revenue to the original artists. How revenue sharing related to copyright will be implemented is expected to be a key issue.
According to a report by the UK’s Financial Times, the new service is scheduled to launch between January and March 2027, and the company is considering an additional monthly charge of around $4–5 for paid subscribers.
The move is linked to broader discussions about Spotify’s expanding use of AI and new frameworks for copyright and revenue sharing, with further updates expected.
