It's kinda weird how often Wikidata has an ISNI for an artist that MB doesn't yet

I guess it might be because some editors probably submitted some ISNI in bulk, since on Wikidata you can do that

Is there a tool like MagicISRC for submitting ISNIs?

Not that I know of, but it'd kinda be a weird exception to how we normally do things afaik cuz we normally allow one changeset per entity at a time afaik

What kind of vocals, in MB, is "Harmony Vocal"? I imagine this is a common enough credit. "Background Vocals"?

Anyone want to do some sleuthing? I found this artist because of a co-release with Gareth Coker, but I'm thinking it might be a "pretend collab to get all the plays from popular artists" situation. I can find nothing about this "author", or his book, or his supposed nonprofit. I also don't think that release was there on the supposed release date - kind of clever to backdate it, so it's not super obvious at the top. But maybe I've

missed something and it is legit? I haven't listened yet either
this seems like hella hella spam - look at the bio for the artist in spotify

i've seen legit artists take the piss in their spotify bio but this is absurd

the "music" hasn't been published on mora, my usual place for countering streaming release backdates, but metadata sleuthing aside i think it's safe to say this is very bizarre spam

I almost posted a long explanation until I realized it's not who I thought it was... it's a parody of Ian Urbina, who is a real author that promotes his book/charity this way (and needs his artist credit removed from many of these releases, as he does not perform on any of them and should only be credited in the "inspired by" subtitle, but adds his name to everything in digital listings to promote/increase digital footprint).
