Question on music usage: Am I allowed to use music from multiple artists in one project?

Hello. I have a question regarding using multiple artists' music in a single game project. I'm not the most familiar with music licenses.

When I buy a license (on Itch) to use an artist's work in a game project, am I only permitted to use that one artist's work in the one project? Or can I mix in some works from multiple artists? (They'd all be appropriately credited, of course.) The game I am hoping to make has different needs that can't always be filled by one artist alone. So I'm considering using pieces from multiple artists as needed.

I understand that each artist have their own preferences in how their assets may be used and may have different licensing from one another. This is more of a general question on what's allowed with general music usage.

Thank you.

Why exactly would it be an issue? That makes no sense. Artists can only ask for their own work to be used (or not) in specific ways. You can do anything you want within those limits.

In hindsight it probably does not make much sense. I tend to overthink a lot of things and wondered if it was only permissible, or perhaps more 'proper', to stick only with one artist's work for a game project. Thank you for your input.
