Artists and Credits
Why do some songs credit a group instead of individual members?
When a song is released as a group performance, the album and song pages show the group name as the lead artist. Individual members may still show the song in their artist discography where appropriate.
What does lead singer mean?
The lead singer or lead group is the main credited vocal artist for that song. Album pages focus on lead singers or group names only, not backup singers or cameo appearances.
What does backup singer mean?
A backup singer contributes supporting vocals, harmonies, call-and-response, or echo parts. Backup singers can appear on artist pages, but they are not treated as the lead artist on album track rows.
What does cameo or appears in mean?
A cameo or appears-in credit means an artist appears visually in a video even if they are not a lead singer on the song.
Videos
Where can I watch Nostalgic Tones videos?
You can browse videos on the Videos page or through individual video pages.

Why are the videos not all available on all platforms yet?
They will be. TikTok tends to be the most updated source, and we are rolling out on the others. YouTube rollout hit some snags due to their copyright protections blocking the songs from our artist pages. Stay tuned as these become fixed.
Why are the videos AI? Are the people fake?
The cost of music videos is astronomical, and we frankly cannot afford to both produce music and videos at that scale. We are a small publisher. Furthermore, the artists are from all over the world, so it would be logistically and financially impossible to bring them together to make videos. It would also greatly slow down production.
The videos are a way to provide a visual means of promoting the music on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and are not a source of revenue. As such, we hope you will allow us to entertain you, because even the AI videos are not free, but quite costly to make.
Why do some video links say Coming Soon?
Some videos are still being rolled out across platforms. If a link says Coming Soon, that means the page exists but the specific platform link is not live yet.
Are video pages different from song pages?
They use the same approved format, but video pages place the video section before the streaming section. Song pages place streaming first.

Why do some streaming links say Coming Soon?
