[Lyrics Plugin] Genius failed to find artist

See original GitHub issue

Hi, uppon requesting lyrics with beet -vv lyrics the genius source always fails and regardless of artist and song always gives this message. In the Case of Halsey: lyrics: Genius failed to find a matching artist for 'Halsey' Maybe this is a problem with how the plugin handles Charactersets or smth, since on the regular Genius Site Lyrics for this song exist.

Thanks! Sorry for amount of questions i have. Does it make any difference at all what I pick for redirection url in the genius api panel? Since just putting in a client acess token won’t work. But I don’t know how to put client id and secret at once

Sorry for the late answer. I could find the API key in lyrics.py but sadly I wasn’t able to figure out how to make the proper request. I however would really like to have genius lyrics in the file tags, and solve this problem. Is there any other way I could debug this?

There are a few related comments at the bottom of https://github.com/beetbox/beets/issues/3903 (fwiw, the query still doesn’t seem to work for me…)
