 <p>The release is scheduled for Sept. 7, in collaboration with the song’s co-producer Andreas Schuller, widely known as Axident. A total of 2,000 NFTs will be available, offering fans ownership and a chance to forge a deeper connection with the art. Despite this new venture, Axident will retain the rights to the song, but NFT holders will be entitled to a 1% share of the song’s streaming royalties.</p> 
 <p>Axident emphasized the evolving dynamics in the music industry, where blockchain technology facilitates unprecedented interactions between artists and their audiences. He remarked, “The ownership of a song bears far greater weight than its monetary value; it forges a profound connection to the art that, until now, has been beyond the reach of fans.”</p>
