I searched for the release on MusicBrainz but couldn't find it ...

Bad data!! Ahh! We don’t influence Spotify credits, unfortunately. Your best bet is probably to contact the artist or the distributor handling their Spotify.

If you want to add it to MusicBrainz so a correction is documented, I recommend this easy Spotify import tool: https://harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk/ -a

Hmmm...if I try to import it into MusicBrainz, it shows up as the wrong artist. The artist is listed as Sugar (SuGar, actually), but it's not actually this one:

If the MB artist page has a relationship to the same Spotify artist URL, Harmony will auto-fill the artist. This becomes a problem when a lot of Spotify artists are lumped into the same URL, like in your case.
But it’s ok - ignore the artist auto-fill by clicking the the search/magnify icon. -a

Advanced tip: In a case like “Sugar” where there are a lot of artists with the same name, it can be easier to use the main MB search (in the top nav). Once you have found the correct artist, or made a new one, paste the artist URL into the ‘artist’ field and it will select the correct artist. -a

Excellent, thanks!
