Too Lost can help you release cover songs, but songs containing samples cannot be approved or may require an additional information request.
What's the difference between sampling and cover songs?
Cover Song
A cover song is a song that you performed & recorded yourself, but the music was written by someone else. This is totally fine and we can help you obtain a license in your User Portal.
Sampling
Sampling is when you use the actual recording of another artist's performance. For example, if you use the actual original recording of Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman" as your back track, it's usually not allowed without written clearance and approval.
Clearance is possible, but is hard for smaller artists and can be an expensive process.
Songs with unauthorized samples can be subject to legal action - so to avoid legal issues with your releases, make sure you only distribute songs you own the rights to or have clearances for.
If you are unclear if your song contains a sample, feel free to email our support team for help.
