Spotify is preparing an AI remix tool for $4–5 per month
According to the Financial Times, Spotify will launch a paid feature for creating licensed AI covers and remixes in the first quarter of 2027.
On October 30, 2026, the Financial Times, citing sources, reported: Spotify plans to launch a tool for AI remixes in the first quarter of 2027. For subscribers, it will cost an additional $4–5 per month. The sources caution that neither the timeline nor the price is final. Spotify declined to comment.
This is not a music generator like Suno, which creates new tracks from a text prompt. Spotify's tool is intended for reworking existing songs — only those whose performers have given consent. The report gives examples: a folk composition can be turned into a dance track or made to sound as if the song is performed by another artist. In the announcement of the deal with Believe, the companies directly called the feature a means for AI remixes and covers, "rather than completely new works."
In practice, this means: a fan will be able to assemble a remix and, likely, add it to placeholders. Royalties for such versions will go to the authors of the original songs. Spotify is also, according to sources, working on a way to add remixes to playlists with streams counting toward the charts of the original tracks. To create the tool, Spotify has entered into licensing agreements with Universal Music Group, the independent label Merlin, the publisher Kobalt, and Believe along with its self-release platform TuneCore.
It remains unknown exactly how the selection of consenting performers will be structured and when exactly the feature will be presented to the public. FT's sources suggest that the announcement may take place around the Grammy ceremony in February, but there is no confirmation from Spotify.
