Artist Intent describes whether an artist intended the ArtistName, ReleaseTitle or TrackTitle to contradict the language they're in (e.g. spelling errors) or state something that would contradict the StyleGuidelines.
Artist Intent is a very fundamental concept, however, it is not clearly defined at all. The general idea (as stated in the StylePrinciples) is that, if an Artist intended something to be written in a very special way, then MusicBrainz should follow this intent. Unfortunately it is very difficult to find out what an artist intended. ArtistIntentVsFacts discusses this problem in more detail.
If you want to claim that some deviation of the OfficialStyleguidelines should be considered artist intent, the burden of proof lies upon you. You are encouraged to discuss the issue on the UsersMailingList.
Agreed Upon Artist Names
The MusicBrainz community has agreed that the following ArtistNames are considered to be styled this way according to the artist's intent:
- k.d. lang (all lowercase)
- a-ha (all lowercase)
- lostprophets (all lowercase)
