Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On the spotify API, we can have access to the songwriter and producer credits associated with a large variety of songs. However, this is currently unavailable on Spotipy.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would really love for this information to be available in relation to tracks using a call like sp.tracks(uri). This would enable me to apply interesting innovations in citation graph research to musical "citations".

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have not tried this yet but I imagine the only way to access this info is to scrape the web version of the Spotify API. This will probably be quite difficult.

Additional context
Add any other context or code about the feature request here.
