# Spotify Inks Licensing Deal with Believe for AI Covers and Remixes Tool

_Legal · published 2026-10-20_

Spotify has secured a licensing agreement with Believe for its AI-powered covers and remixes tool, continuing a run of deals that already includes Universal Music Group, Merlin, and Kobalt. The agreements suggest Spotify is systematically clearing rights across major and independent music distribution networks ahead of a broader rollout of the tool.

The rapid succession of deals signals growing momentum for AI-generated music derivatives on streaming platforms, and raises broader questions about how royalties and attribution will be structured as AI remixing moves from experiment to mainstream feature.
