Distortion in new track?

Just added a new track to my library and it plays fine on my iPhone 11 but when I try and play it on my Mac the sound is really distorted? The same song plays absolutely fine through YouTube or Spotify so is the Apple Music file corrupted? Have tried deleting it from my library and then re-adding to no avail, driving me nuts now! Track is How Beautiful Life Can Be by The Lathums.

Plays fine here. I see it's a Dolby Atmos track.


With Dolby Atmos activated in Music's preferences, the volume level is quite lower. With Dolby Atmos turned off, the volume turns up.

With Dolby Atmos Off:
