Samsung and TikTok have teamed up to announce StemDrop, a new format for recording and mixing music on TikTok. Simon Cowell is the creative director behind the venture and Syco Entertainment and Universal Music Group are also on board. Stems are the building blocks of a music track broken down into elements like vocals, drums, and bass, and TikTok is adding a StemDrop Mixer to help anyone mix and master songs to their liking.
TikTok StemDrop in action
TikTok’s new StepDrop feature will highlight user-generated rising songs on a weekly basis in an effort to help emerging musicians reach a wider audience. Music artists Max Martin, Savan Kotecha and Ali Payami have collaborated on a new song that will be shared exclusively on TikTok as StemDrop. As soon as the track is live, users will be able to remix the track and upload their own covers. TikTok StemDrop will launch on October 26th.
