Music streaming service TIDAL has launched interactive credit pages to highlight the roles of songwriters, producers, engineers and session musicians.
“TIDAL is looking forward to working with artists and labels to create an in-depth database of credits,” said the company in a press release.
To explore the feature in TIDAL on an Artist Page, users can tap on the roles under the artist’s name or scroll down to view the artist’s enhanced credits section.
From there, they can select ‘View All’ or a specific role to explore (i.e. Songwriter, Production, Composer, Musician).
Tapping on a specific role will filter the track list to display the songs on which that artist has contributed towards in that same capacity.
By clicking on the downward arrow on the top-right corner, users can also sort the contributor’s track list by release date, popularity, title, or artist.
“We recognize the challenges ahead in creating a thorough and extensive catalog, but we are excited to take this important step.”

Tony Gervino, TIDAL SVP, Culture & Content said: “This is a milestone for TIDAL which, at the heart of the platform, is a space for music lovers to connect with their favorite artists in unique ways.
“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.
“We recognize the challenges ahead in creating a thorough and extensive catalog, but we are excited to take this important step.”
TIDAL added master quality audio to its iPhone iOS app in March.
In February the service teamed up with VC financiers Mark Lampert and Robert Nelsen to launch TIDAL Unplugged, ‘a million dollar’ artist grant program.Music Business Worldwide
