Spotify is preparing a paid add-on that lets Premium subscribers make AI covers and remixes of songs by artists who have opted in. On 30 October 2026 the Financial Times reported a price and a launch window. Spotify has confirmed neither, so here is the split between what is official and what is only reported.

Disclosed by Spotify (May 2026, with its Universal Music Group deal):

  • A paid tool for Premium subscribers to make covers and remixes of existing songs with generative AI.
  • Only artists and songwriters who opt in are included, even when their label has signed.
  • Original artists and songwriters share in the revenue from fan versions.

Reported by the FT, not confirmed (via The Next Web, 30 October, and MusicRadar, 2 November):

  • Price: an extra $4 to $5 a month on top of Premium. Still under discussion.
  • Launch: early 2027, possibly unveiled around the Grammy Awards in February.
  • Signed so far: Universal Music Group, Merlin, Kobalt and Believe (which includes TuneCore). Sony Music and Warner Music were still in talks.
  • Plays of a remix would count toward the original song's chart position.

Not said yet:

  • Which countries get it first.
  • How many remixes the add-on includes.
  • Whether remixes can be downloaded or used outside Spotify.

Why it matters for anyone making AI covers today: standalone tools already do this, but the rights to what you upload are your own responsibility. A song has at least two sets of rights, the composition and the recording, and in some countries a singer's voice is protected separately. Spotify's tool is meant to arrange the licences and the artist's consent before you press the button. Until it launches, the safe material is your own song and your own voice.
