Every singer wants to be recognized Do you mean in the song title or they don't get credited in the "credits" of the song? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wasn't credited in David Guetta's Hey Mama for a very long time. This is probably more Nickiâs fault, since she has had this issue with several songs, Ester Dean singing the chorus of Super Bass & Turn Me On, the singer singing âThe Crying Gameâ wasnât credited at the beginning too. But yeah, this is a common practice in both hip hop and EDM/Dance Music. But you need to think of it, sometimes vocalists donât want to be recognized because of a song they sold or got paid for. Because it is not the type of music they want to do. This is the case for Sia and Wild Ones for example.  Bebe sang the most important part in âThe Monsterâ, but only Rihanna was credited. Bebe and others being ****ed over by the industry is awful, truly. But many times itâs the decision of the singer/artist and their Label to stay unnamed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ina Wroldsen is the one singing on How Deep Is Your Love, it became a hit, yet her voice was never recognized, when at least 60% of the song's success is thanks to her. And of course she wanted to be recognized  Yaaaas. Norway represent. I'm a fan of Ina, how come i didn't know this? Maybe cuz i never listened to the song lol.

Stop placing so much emphasis on vocals. Thereâs plenty of great music out there that doesnât have vocals at all. Well then DON'T MAKE MONEY FROM THOSE VOCALS? Don't release it with vocals and let's see if it becomes a hit or not? ¿QuĂ© currĂculum tiene Ă©sta tarĂĄntula? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop placing so much emphasis on vocals. Thereâs plenty of great music out there that doesnât have vocals at all. Exactly. With Zedd Iâve noticed this. When he just booked a vocalist with no imput, simply to âlend their voiceâ, they arenât credited as a feature. Itâs very much a difference between âthis song was a collaborative effortâ and âI booked a vocalist to sing MY songâ. And thatâs how most of these cases work. And if not more often than not it is a business decision. Does the Featured Artist want this song in their discography? Could it hurt the vocalistâs image? Does it fit with their branding?  Same goes with why DJâs are featured on some songs (âWe found loveâ, âStarstruckâ and âBreak Freeâ) while they arenât on others (âWhere Have You Beenâ, âFashion!â, âOne Last Timeâ). Business decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Producers can be just as impactful as a singer/songwriter. Also, some singers just donât want to be credited for putting in something as simple as laying their vocals on a track, especially if itâs not in the forefront of a song. Like Gaga and LN/POTR. Gaga asked specifically not to be a âFt.â on the track because she didnât want people thinking it was just a Gaga song or the band was using her for clout (she didnât want to distract listeners).

erfaan 2,528 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 As some have mentioned before, it's the same as producers and songwriters not being credited in song titles. It's the DJ's body of work so it makes sense? đ€·đœââïž Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
