A new-language version starts with a master recording you own or control. The lyrics are adapted for the target language, the lead vocal is produced from the artist’s authorised voice, and the original master stays unchanged. You receive a release-ready new master with its own ISRC, split sheet, metadata and AI disclosure where required.
