Spotify to let Premium users AI-remix songs with royalties for original artists from 2027

Spotify announced a feature rolling out as early as Q1 2027 that lets Premium subscribers use AI to transform participating artists' songs into entirely different versions — folk ballads into dance tracks, hip-hop into acoustic, or one artist's voice performing another's song.
Remixes upload directly to Spotify, appear in playlists, and count toward the original song's chart position. Crucially, original artists earn royalties every time a fan-created remix is streamed. Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group, making this a potential industry-saving model — or a destructive one.
