display song artist other than album artist

as the title say, it may happen that a song is actually made by 2 artists, and as of now music only shows the album artist...it should have, in case of album artist being one and song artist being two, the name of the artists dispayed maybe next to the song title...to give you an example i'll attach a screen from lollypop who does this just perfect
Created attachment 363664 [details] lollypop screen (as artists should be displayed)
Created attachment 363665 [details] music screen this is how music behave...and to me it should be fixed in every other view like the artist view...many players just have a separate entry but it's just too inconvenient and doing the way lollypop does, well it just feel right :)
Before even considering we would need to think about these questions first: * Is this within the scope of what we want to do with music or do we want to keep views simple? * Composer was mainly added for classical music * Main problem is going to be the abysmal quality of tags to have a decent experience with this * What would we actually want to show: composer, performer, producer, etc.? As an example of that last 2 points, wat you show in comment #2 is actually the 'band'/stagename of the performers (not the actual artists) for songs 1 & 14 and the stagename + an actual name for song 13. So that already is a weird mash-up of choices.
