Musixmatch has launched a new product built specifically for record labels.
Musixmatch Pro for Labels is a hub designed to help record companies manage, enrich, and “distribute lyrics at scale to support music discovery and deeper fan engagement.”
Launched today (September 2), the platform is aimed at labels ranging from independents managing a small roster to organizations managing thousands of artists and releases.
The launch comes as record labels compete for audience attention on DSPs, with MIDiA Research finding that 77% of record label respondents believe it is becoming harder to retain audience and fan interest, according to Musixmatch.
Musixmatch says listeners who engage deeply with lyrics and music creation are nearly four times more likely to buy merchandise, and twice as likely to attend live shows.
“You don’t build lasting fan relationships simply by asking people to listen more – you build them by giving people more intimacy and emotion to connect with,” said Rio Caraeff, Co-President at Musixmatch. “Lyrics turn a passing listen into something personal, and that connection can stay with you for the rest of your life.
“That’s why we built Musixmatch Pro for Labels, to help labels unlock more value from their repertoire and by giving fans more emotive ways to connect with the music and artists they love.”

For label teams, managing lyrics across thousands of tracks can involve significant manual work, according to the company.
Compiling, synchronizing, translating, and distributing lyrics across multiple artists and releases adds to that load, and gaps across a catalog can be difficult to identify.
Musixmatch says Pro for Labels brings “AI transcription and time-syncing, expert curation, global distribution and catalogue intelligence” together in one place.
The hub’s catalog audit identifies gaps and where action is needed across a label’s repertoire, according to Musixmatch.
Teams can create and synchronize lyrics – including ahead of a song’s release – manage translations, and distribute lyrics across Musixmatch Pro‘s network of supported DSPs and social platforms.
Those processes can be automated using Musixmatch‘s AI transcription and time-syncing technology, or managed by its team of professional curators.
Labels can also create lyric-driven promotional assets for digital and social channels through Musixmatch Pro for Labels.
An analytics dashboard lets labels centralize streaming information and compare artist performance by channel and geography, Musixmatch says.
In addition, through catalog analytics and Music Lens – the agentic AI Musixmatch launched in November – teams can ask questions, surface insights, and identify opportunities across their music.
More than 400 labels were onboarded during Musixmatch Pro for Labels’ beta phase.
The launch follows demand from more than 1,000 record labels already using Musixmatch Pro to manage their artist rosters.
Musixmatch launched Musixmatch Pro in 2021, when it expanded into distribution.
The company has developed music data and technology for the music industry for more than 16 years, and is based in Bologna.
Musixmatch says its verified music database is trusted by more than 250,000 rights owners and music publishers, and nearly three million songwriters, across more than 250 languages.
In October 2025, the company signed AI licensing agreements with Sony Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group, and Warner Chappell Music, covering more than 15 million musical works.
Musixmatch then launched Sentinel in March 2026, a service that detects when copyrighted lyrics are used in AI and user-generated content.
AI music platform Suno became the first customer of Sentinel in August 2026.
For Suno, Musixmatch says that Sentinel will provide “greater visibility into copyrighted material within user prompts,” informing the AI company’s own moderation, compliance, and product decisions.Music Business Worldwide
