Spotify plans licensed AI remix service for early 2027, FT reports

Oct 30, 2026 · Gathered automatically from public sources. Not reviewed by a person.

What happened

Spotify plans to launch an AI-powered music remix service in the first quarter of 2027, possibly around the Grammy Awards in February, the Financial Times reported on 30 October 2026, citing people familiar with the plans.

What the service would do

Paying subscribers would use AI to create their own versions of songs, such as transforming a folk song into a dance track or making one artist appear to cover another's song. Spotify is considering charging an additional $4-$5 a month for the service. Under the plan, royalties from fan-created remixes would flow back to original artists, and plays would count towards the original songs in Spotify's charts.

Licensing status

According to the FT report, Spotify has struck licensing deals for the feature with Universal Music Group, independent label group Merlin and French music company Believe, and is still negotiating with Sony Music and Warner Music. Spotify did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
