Hi guys,

I already did some research, but got left a little curious. Lets take this cover/remix for example: Masove, Jovieson, Tee Burrston - Believe (Niteblue Remix) (https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/ ... 59edac40e4 (https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/4noHMK37jUFDoPAclko08W?si=3b06eb59edac40e4))

Its obviously a cover by the famous Cher song "Believe".

It was released by Soave Records. Copyright in Spotify info goes to Cher and Soave Records. I think they re-recorded the vocals by a different Artist, they didnt use the original Vocal by Cher.

Could you release that kind of song by yourself via Distrokid etc. if you re-record the vocals? Does it count as a "Cover"? Or do u need further clearing from the original artist, producer, writers, label?

Anyone got some experience with that kind of stuff?

Thanks in advance! :-)
