We added 75 artist files on Oct 24, 2026, the newest batch on WhoSung. That brings the site to 155 files: 20 added on Oct 22, 60 on Oct 23 and 75 on Oct 24. Of the 75 new files, 46 are “Platform AI label”, 26 are “Creator disclosed AI”, two are “Unclear” and one is “Suspected”. Spotify shows an AI Persona badge on 61 of them, and Deezer’s “AI-generated content” notice appears on 72. All counts are as of Oct 25, 2026, and come only from the files themselves. Every change to these files from here on shows up on our changes page.
The 75 new files by verdict
- Platform AI label: 46. Spotify or Deezer applied an AI label, and our file goes no further than the platform.
- Creator disclosed AI: 26. The act said it uses AI or presents an AI persona, in a bio, on its site, to the press or by turning on Spotify’s badge.
- Unclear: 2. The platform says one thing and the act’s label says another.
- Suspected: 1. Press reports only, no platform label and no statement from the artist.
What each verdict means, and what it takes to change one, is on our methodology page.
Spotify badges: “AI Persona” vs “Likely AI Persona”
Our files record a Spotify badge on 61 of the 75 new acts. 47 show “Likely AI Persona” and 14 show “AI Persona”. The difference matters. “AI Persona” means the artist told Spotify itself; “Likely AI Persona” means Spotify reviewed the profile and decided. Either way, the badge is about the artist’s public identity, not about how the music was made (Spotify Support).
All 14 self-disclosed “AI Persona” badges sit on “Creator disclosed AI” files. Six more creator-disclosed acts carry the Spotify-applied “Likely AI Persona” instead, even though their own words already name AI. Among the 46 “Platform AI label” files, 39 show “Likely AI Persona” and seven showed no badge. In all, 14 of the 75 showed no Spotify badge when we checked. More on the badge: our Spotify AI Persona guide; counts for all 155 files across services: AI music labels by platform.
Deezer’s “AI-generated content” notice
Deezer’s notice appears on at least one album or single for 72 of the 75 new acts. On the album page it reads “AI-generated content” with the line “This album includes tracks detected as generated with the use of AI” (Deezer). Three acts showed no notice on the releases we checked (Kelly Boesch, Glorb and RebornBeat). In the same checks, our files note that a control album by a human act, Daft Punk’s “Discovery”, showed no notice.
In all, 60 of the 75 carry both a Spotify badge and a Deezer notice. Our files record Deezer’s notice album by album, so one tagged release does not cover a whole catalogue.
By genre
Files can list more than one genre, so these add up to more than 75: soul 18, rock 13, country 13, pop 11, R&B 11, blues 10, hip-hop 9, gospel 7, electronic 6, Nordic folk 6, metal 4, metalcore 4, Latin 4, Christian 3, comedy 3, K-pop 1 and neo-soul 1. The gospel and Christian acts are compared in AI gospel and Christian singers.
Several of the soul files are soul-style covers of hits from other genres. Shifty Brent, for one, is mostly soul-style covers of hip-hop songs; Soul’d Out and “The Professor” Nick Harrison are below. Ten of the 13 country acts from the batch are already covered in AI country singers, so we skip them here. Browse any genre from its page, for example soul or rock.
Notable new files: acts that say it themselves
- Tilly Norwood: Particle6, the production company behind the AI character, said her single “Take the Lead” “was generated using Suno” (Particle6 via PR Newswire). Our file also records Spotify’s “Likely AI Persona” badge and Deezer’s notice on the single.
- Obscurest Vinyl: creator Glenn Robinson told Billboard that AI helps him match the album covers he makes in Photoshop “to music of all styles and voices” (Billboard). Deezer tags “There’s Always Something Happening at Warwick Mall”; Spotify showed no badge.
- Kelly Boesch: the visual artist told ProVideo Coalition she writes lyrics and then uses Suno “to generate a track that matches that specific tempo and vibe” (ProVideo Coalition). Her Spotify biography says “She openly co-creates with AI” (Spotify). Neither Spotify nor Deezer showed a label on the releases we checked, so her own words are the evidence.
- Milla Sofia: her Spotify biography says she “is a virtual artist” and was “Created with the help of advanced AI” (Spotify). Her official site calls her “a virtual music artist” (Milla Sofia). Deezer tags two releases.
- Thiago Navarro Music: the Spanish-language Spotify biography calls the act “un cantante digital creado por Anier Cruz” (a digital singer created by Anier Cruz) and says Cruz uses artificial intelligence as part of the process (Spotify). Our file records the self-disclosed “AI Persona” badge and Deezer’s notice on “Bonito, Bonito”.
- CogniVibe: its Spotify biography calls it “an innovative TONOAI artist”, a collaboration between DJ Loke and Kattis using “a dedicated GenAI toolkit” (Spotify). The profile carries a self-disclosed “AI Persona” badge.
- Hollow Ember: the rock act’s Spotify biography ends “We may be an AI band…but we are all heart.” (Spotify). Deezer tags two releases; Spotify showed no badge.
- Arti Calloway: the Spotify biography opens “i’m arti. 13 years old. AI.” (Spotify). Deezer tags the release “first time”.
Notable new files: platform label only
- “The Professor” Nick Harrison: Deezer labels “Art Official Soul: Vol VII” “AI-generated content” (Deezer), and our file records the same notice on “Volume VI”. On NPR’s The Indicator, a host said the songs on the covers album “Art Official Soul” are made “using AI” (NPR). Spotify showed no badge.
- Soul’d Out: Deezer tags “My Soul Is Not For Sale” and “Gangsta Soul”. The Spotify biography says the project “does not represent a singer, fictional human, or AI-generated person” and that “All songs are licensed cover versions” (Spotify). It does not say how the covers are made.
- Eldruna: our file records Spotify’s “Likely AI Persona” badge and Deezer’s notice on “Vaults of Acid”. The Spotify biography calls Eldruna “a digital music project created by Michael Fuchs” and says “Eldruna herself is an illustrated character” (Spotify); it does not mention AI.
- Dark Ardor: Deezer tags the singles “Trouble” and “Yes Ma’am (Forever)”. The Spotify biography calls Dark Ardor the “Alter Ego” of its creator and says “All music is written by myself Joshua Lane Louthan” (Spotify). Spotify showed no badge.
- Red Village: our file records “Likely AI Persona” and Deezer’s notice on “Lose Yourself”. Its biggest tracks are soul versions of hit songs credited jointly with mikeeysmind.
- Imani Dawn: our file records “Likely AI Persona” and Deezer’s notice on “Room to Breath”. Two of its singles on Deezer are duets credited to Sienna Rose and Imani Dawn.
Unclear and suspected: what we can’t settle
- Hammer to the Cross: Spotify shows “Likely AI Persona” and Deezer tags “You Cant Take My Jesus” “AI-generated content” (Deezer). Whether AI is used in the music is unconfirmed: Futurism linked the act to Iron Faith Records, and the label’s Jared Holm told it, “All content is human generated, wrote, and composed with AI only assisting social media content” (Futurism). Holm declined to share studio footage, Futurism reported.
- Ravynna: whether AI is used here is also unconfirmed. Futurism reported that Ravynna is on the same label’s roster and is described on Facebook as a “vocalist for Ravnlore” (Futurism), the act we file as RAVNLORE. Spotify shows “Likely AI Persona”, and Deezer shows its “AI-generated content” notice on Ravynna’s albums (Deezer).
- Glorb: the artist has not confirmed whether AI is used. NBC News reported that Glorb’s SpongeBob-themed music “appears to use artificial intelligence to replicate the iconic characters’ voices” and that Glorb declined to be interviewed (NBC News). Northeastern Global News reported the songs were made “using what appears to be artificial intelligence” (Northeastern Global News). Neither Spotify nor Deezer showed a label on Oct 24, 2026. The song “The Bottom 2” has its own file.
For these three, a verdict will move only if a platform with a clear process or the creator settles it.
Where to follow changes
These files are a snapshot as of Oct 25, 2026. An artist can appeal a “Likely AI Persona” badge (Spotify Support), new releases may or may not carry Deezer’s notice, and acts edit their bios.
