If your releases artwork contains any of the following prohibited content, our review team will request you to modify it.
Common Issues in Release Artwork
1 - Images with Incorrect Release Information
Artist Involvement
If a release features two main artists, the artwork should state “Artist 1 & Artist 2” or simply list the artists as “Artist 1” and “Artist 2.” It should not say “Artist 1 feat. Artist 2” unless the artists are featured.
If a release features a collaboration, the artwork should say “Artist 1 feat. Artist 2.”
Release Title
The release title on the artwork must match the actual release title.
2 - Copyrighted Images
Examples:
Scenes from movies, series, documentaries, or video games.
Illustrations downloaded from the internet.
Brand logos.
3 - Images with Explicit, Sexual, or Gore Content
Platforms are very cautious about explicit, sexual, or gore content. To avoid issues, refrain from using such content in your artwork.
4 - Photographs of People Without Consent
Examples:
Other popular artists, athletes, journalists, celebrities, etc.
People who did not authorize the use of their image.
5 - Blurry or Pixelated Images
6 - Stretched or Distorted Images
7 - Images with Too Much Blank Space or Too Small
8 - Low-Quality Images
9 - Incomplete Images or Cut-off Text
