SPOZZ adds automated karaoke production for direct-to-fan music

SPOZZ has launched Auto Karaoke, a feature that creates instrumental versions and synced lyrics for artists’ songs inside its direct-to-fan platform. The rollout gives artists approval control and gives verified song owners access to karaoke without an extra charge.

Why it matters: - SPOZZ is turning karaoke into a fan-access feature tied to song ownership, which gives artists another way to monetize releases and deepen engagement. - The feature keeps karaoke inside the same platform where artists already release music, sell songs and connect with fans.

What happened: - SPOZZ introduced Auto Karaoke, a tool that automatically prepares instrumental versions of artists’ recordings and synchronizes the lyrics they provide. - Fans can sing along in the SPOZZ player. - Artists review and approve each karaoke version before it goes live.

The details: - Artists can request a karaoke version for an existing song or enable the option during single upload, bulk upload or catalogue import. - SPOZZ prepares the instrumental track and synchronized lyrics, then creates a private review task for each song. - Artists can compare the original recording with the prepared instrumental. - Artists can review the lyrics and timing. - Artists can send supported lyric and timing corrections through written instructions. - Each version stays private until the artist approves publication and required checks are complete. - Published karaoke versions appear directly in the SPOZZ player. - Fans can try the first 30 seconds for free. - Verified owners of a song can access its karaoke version without an additional karaoke charge. - Other fans can buy the song’s Drop to unlock access. - SPOZZ positions karaoke as an added benefit of song ownership inside a direct-to-fan environment.

Between the lines: - The workflow blends automation with human review, which helps reduce production friction while preserving artist control. - The access model ties fan perks to ownership, which may encourage more direct purchases instead of casual streaming alone. - The setup also creates a clearer link between content release, approval and monetization inside one product.

What's next: - Auto Karaoke is available through SPOZZ Artist Tools. - Artists must provide complete lyrics, confirm they hold the required rights and accept the karaoke terms. - Fan access is available only for songs with an approved and published karaoke version. - SPOZZ says the karaoke player is meant for personal, private singing along and does not record microphone or camera input. - Access does not grant permission to publish performance videos or use the music in public performances. - More information is available in the company announcement and the Auto Karaoke details.
