AI-Generated Album Fraudulently Uploaded to Streaming Services as ODESZA

Confusion hit the ODESZA fanbase after an AI-generated album surfaced on streaming platforms, masquerading as the duo’s original work. 

The fake release, which was fraudulently linked to ODESZA’s official unique identifier for artists on streaming services, was initially available on SoundCloud, Amazon Music and YouTube.

ODESZA’s team has since removed the music, but the incident serves as a wake-up call that without stronger protections in place, AI-generated fraud will continue to create problems for artists and fans alike.

It has reignited concerns over the ease with which fake music can infiltrate major platforms. The fact that the release was able to go live on streaming platforms without immediate detection could fuel growing frustrations surrounding AI-powered music production and distribution platforms, which have increasingly been used to create counterfeit music that steals streams, misleads fans and damages the credibility of real artists. 

ODESZA have not yet publicly commented on the situation at the time of this writing.
