Hello,
I recently released a single on October 3rd, and everything was right excetp this release is not present on Apple Music / Shazam after 20 days.

The name of the single is: deBLAZQUEZ & Saulo Pisa - Discoteka

Can anyone from the support team help with it?
Thanks in advance.

hi @deblazquez I’m forwarding your question to @Carlos from the Team, maybe you can post the EAN barcode of your song(s) meanwhile :v:

Hey Andi! Thank you… Here’s the code EAN 4069493434187

Hey @deblazquez,

Why did you title track n°2 Discoteka (Deblazquez Remix) ? You cannot make remixes of your own tracks. Unless it’s you remixing Saulo Pisa’s track ?

We need some clarifications here please.

Hello Carlos,

Why can’t I remix our track? I have my collaborator’s consent and agreement.
On the other hand, what does this have to do with not releasing it on Apple Music if there haven’t been any issues with the other platforms?

Thank you in advance for your attention.

Because if it’s your own track it’s an alternative version/edit. A remix implies that another artist has remixed your song. We need some clarifications here please.

Because Apple is very strict when it comes to metadata.

As far as I know, I can remix and make versions of my own music and in this case having the consent and agreement of my collaborator.

Okay, so from what you’re telling me, it’s a matter of nomenclature?
Would it be correct (deblazquez edit) (deblazquez alternative version) or (deblazquez rework)?

Yes, exactly. Of course you can make alternative versions of your own music, but that wouldn’t be a remix then.

It depends. Who is the artist of the original version of this track? Is it you or Saulo Pisa?

In the “Original Mix” we both are the artist (we composed and produced together the track in the studio). And then I remixed, or made the alternative version (deblazquez remix) with Saulo’s consent and agreement.

How should we rename my version so there aren’t any problems with Apple Music’s metadata?

I’d suggest Discoteka (deBLAZQUEZ Alternative Version) which seems to be the most fitting. Would that work for you?

That sounds good to me. Is this change only for Apple Music?

No, that would apply to all shops (the metadata must be the same on all DSPs). Is that ok with you?
