Generally, citations begin with the artist name. They might also be listed by composers or performers. Otherwise, list composer and performer information after the album title. Put individual song titles in quotation marks. Album names are italicized. Provide the name of the recording manufacturer followed by the publication date.
If information such as record label or name of album is unavailable from your source, do not list that information.
These instruction are taken from "MLA Works Cited: Other Common Sources" (Purdue OWL).
Examples
Song from an online album
Song from an album on Spotify
Song from an album on CD

If a source carries a notation indicating that this is a version of a work released in more than one form, identify the version in your entry.
The examples are taken from "MLA Works Cited: Other Common Sources" (Purdue OWL) and the MLA Handbook.
