Spotify plans paid AI remix service for early 2027
Spotify is reportedly preparing a paid generative AI tool that lets fans remix authorized songs or create imagined cross-artist performances, with an early 2027 launch targeted. The Financial Times, as reported by The Next Web, says the price could add $4–$5 per month to Premium and that a February unveiling around the Grammys is possible, but neither timing nor pricing is final. Artists must individually opt in, while Spotify reportedly plans royalty sharing, chart credit for the original songs and possible playlist inclusion.
The reported plan combines paid AI music creation, artist opt-in rights and royalty sharing, but Spotify has not launched the product and licensing negotiations, pricing and release schedule remain unsettled.
Spotify is preparing to launch a paid AI tool that lets fans create their own versions of songs, with a release planned for early 2027, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the plans.
The company could unveil the product around the Grammy Awards in February, although the launch date and pricing are still under discussion.
The tool could cost an additional $4 to $5 a month on top of a Premium subscription, according to the FT. Users would be able to generate new versions of existing songs, perhaps turning a folk track into a dance remix or imagining one artist performing another’s music.
