Subscribers could pay $4 to $5 a month extra to remake songs in new styles, and only artists who opt in would be included, according to the Financial Times.
Spotify is preparing to launch a paid tool that lets subscribers make AI covers and remixes of songs in the first quarter of 2027, the Financial Times reported Oct. 30, citing people familiar with the plans. Music Business Worldwide and Reuters reported on the FT story.
Users could, for example, turn a folk song into a dance track or make one artist appear to cover another’s song. The tool could be unveiled around the GRAMMYs in February, according to the report.
Spotify is weighing a price of $4 to $5 a month on top of the existing subscription, one source told the FT. The price is not final.
Only artists who opt in would be part of the tool, even when their label has signed a licensing deal, the FT reported. Royalties would go to the original artists, and plays of the remixes would count toward the original songs on Spotify’s charts.
Spotify has already signed deals for the product with Universal Music Group, which announced its agreement in May, and with Merlin, Kobalt and Believe, including its TuneCore platform, according to MBW. Sony Music and Warner Music are still negotiating. In October 2025, Spotify said it was working with all three majors, Merlin and Believe on “artist-first AI music products,” The Fader reported.
Spotify declined to comment to the FT and did not respond to Reuters.
Bernstein analyst Ian Moore estimates that 7% to 8% of Spotify’s U.S. subscribers could sign up for the add-on by the end of 2028, MBW reported.
