Media & Rights

Images and artwork

Our original editorial illustrations are labelled separately from official artist photography and album covers. Credit to a label, photographer or platform does not by itself establish permission to reuse their work.

Album covers

Selected album covers are supplied through the iTunes Search API to promote the respective albums. The complete cover is displayed with an approved iTunes Store badge and a link to that album on the store. Cover rights remain with their respective rights holders. This conditional promotional use does not extend to arbitrary artist photographs or other imagery. Apple promotional-content conditions.

Video and audio

Links open the original artist or label upload. Where a standard player is used, playback remains on the hosting platform and subject to its availability and settings. A link or embed does not grant permission to extract clips, reproduce audio or re-upload a video.

Source material and interpretation

We use source material to establish facts, provide context and support our own commentary. Any quotation should be relevant and limited to what the discussion needs. We distinguish an artist’s account from an editorial reading.

Rights and correction requests

Contact [email protected] with the page URL, the material at issue and your connection to the rights holder. We review the concern and correct, replace or remove material when appropriate. Please avoid sending unnecessary personal or confidential information.
