“Tidal is looking forward to working with artists and labels to create an in-depth database of credits,” the company said in its press release announcing the update.
“As a music streaming service and culture hub, it is important to acknowledge that music is a team sport – it takes a talented crew of sound engineers, lyricists, and band members to make a song stick,” said Tony Gervino, SVP of culture and content for Tidal. “We recognize the challenges ahead in creating a thorough and extensive catalog, but we are excited to take this important step.”
Several streaming services have moved to add more information about the whole team that works on a given song. However, displaying those details requires someone to provide accurate metadata, which has proven to be a challenge.
