==Description== |
|||
A featuring artist is an [[Artist]] who is not the [[Primary Artist]] of a recording, but who is credited alongside the primary artist; usually with the word "featuring", or "feat.". |
|||
==Additional information== |
|||
Featuring artists have to follow the title style for [[Style/Titles/Featured artists|featured artists]], which you should read attentively. Prior to [[NGS]], the style for featuring artists was to include them in the [[Track Title]] or [[Release Title]]. With the new support for [[Artist Credit]]s, the guideline has been changed to move them out of titles and properly link artists to their entries in the database. You can read the old guideline [[History:Featuring Artist Style|here]]. |
|||
Usually, you want to use a featuring artist in one of these cases: |
|||
* the release sleeve clearly uses a "feat" to credit an artist, either in the [[Release Title]], on a [[Track Title]] or alongside the [[Primary Artist]] |
|||
* two or more [[Artist]]s are ''collaborating'' on a [[Release]] or a [[Recording]], one of them clearly being the [[Primary Artist]] (note that this ''doesn't'' apply to [[Secondary Artist]]s like sidemen, studio musicians, group members, etc) |
|||
Also note that the [[Classical Style Guide]] defines some specific use of "feat" to credit performers. |
|||
==Examples== |
|||
* A release example: [[Release:e0a46fd7-faa9-43bb-a65e-f978f2bade36|Life Is Just a Game]] has Featuring Artist [[Artist:2bd246a8-a7ba-4f73-b305-84aa843c0e79|Carisma]] |
|||
* A track example: [[Track:2ccd9a5b-7e80-4ebd-92f9-53f23fc59ce2|A Joy (Koushik's Quick mix)]] has Featuring Artist [[Artist:be9303c8-d2e1-4e80-9c12-0ba31436c2c7|Percee P]] |
