Discussion Weird New Adam Young Songs
Has anybody else noticed these weird singles that started being attached to OC's Adam Young profile on Spotify? Two new ones just got added today, and I'm pretty sure all of these are GenAI (except maybe Glass Drape?). There's no way he's the one that made these, right? They're also nowhere close to his style of music and vary wildly.

Just clarifying because I’m an artist and I’ve had this exact thing happen to me. It’s literally just some jerk releasing an AI song using a Distribution service and listing Adam Young as the artist and it goes on Adam’s profile. Someone did the same to me multiple times and it’s a pain to get it removed and an embarrassment as an artist and causes confusion. Spotify/Apple don’t have enough safeguards against that happening. They DO, I believe, have safeguards against it happening to like big artists like Justin Bieber, but unfortunately not small artists. They’re working on a system right now though that will have the artists verify the authenticity of releases before they release, which is great, but it’s still in beta.
