Songwriters provide the foundation of the music we love, and they should always be paid fairly. The CRB settlement reached in 2022 marked a welcome step forward in cooperation between digital platforms and publishers. We are disappointed that Spotify appears to be focused on cutting costs at the expense of songwriters instead of continuing in that spirit of cooperation. The Recording Academy Songwriters + Composers Wing continues to stand with songwriters, and we will work to ensure they are fully valued and appropriately compensated for the work they do that enriches our lives.
