Is Beyond Disdain AI?

The Spotify bio says Beyond Disdain “is a project created by Retro Modern Records out of Miami, Florida”, with son and mother duo Trevor & Shana Anderson as lead co-producers, that each track is built with “a blend of traditional techniques and next-generation technology to dial in the exact vocal and instrumental sounds”, and that “every track is written, arranged, and directed by hand with massive amounts of human input from our team. The tech is just another instrument in the toolkit.” It does not use the word AI.

Spotify shows a “Likely AI Persona” badge on the artist profile. The badge text reads: “Spotify has applied this label because this artist reached the minimum audience for review and signals suggest their public identity may be AI-generated.” Spotify says the badge concerns the artist’s public identity, not how the music was made.

Deezer’s album page for “Everything We Gave (feat. Selene Calder)” (single, Jul 25, 2025) shows the “AI-generated content” notice: “This album includes tracks detected as generated with the use of AI.” “Till Death Parts Us”, “Lost Inside The Sound” and “Still You Call Me Yours” carry the same notice.
