... no it isn't.

It's better than any current pop.

 

[Wilsongt]

It's better than Perfect Illusion

Anything is better than that song.

Pretty cool, despite the rampant cynicism in this thread.

Not all cynical:

It's better than Perfect Illusion

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

I can't keep up the facade any longer, Perfect Illusion really does kind of suck.

In a year where the 3 best singles are: Rihanna delivering This Is What You Came For, Drake delivering One Dance, and Kungs delivering This Girl, Perfect Illusion simply isn't up to scratch.

Better luck with JOANNE I guess.

 

[The Main Event]

Mr. Shadow is amazing.

 

[Zonar]

Soon...

This scene with this song is absolutely perfect.

 

[jond76]

I was expecting something completely generated and preformed by AI. Kinda disappointed.

 

[j_k_redtail]

This scene with this song is absolutely perfect.

It's bizarre, isn't it?

 

[saher]

It all started with a song...

 

[Admiral Woofington]

the next hit song will be U2 robots singing "goodbye goodbye (humans)"

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

 

[Stabby McSter]

i went to the website to see if they could explain it a little more

2) The human composer (in this case Benoît Carré, but we are experimenting with other musicians as well) selected a style and generated a leadsheet (melody + harmony) with a system called FlowComposer. For Daddy’s Car, Carré selected as style “the Beatles” and for Mr. Shadow he selected a style that we call “American songwriters” (which contains songs by composers like Cole Porter, Gershwin, Duke Ellington, etc).

So edgy and cynical

[OchreHand]

At first I thought the lyrics were written by AI

Still cool, I guess

 

[sankt-Antonio]

"Sony have been working on AI-generated music for years, and has previously used AI to create impressive jazz tracks"

Someone's got a link to these?

 

[Icyflamez96]

Like, there's something super unnatural about it.

I dont agree at all. Only part that sounds "unnatural" is that break where it sounds like things are reversing.

 

[Gusto]

Because making a living as a musician wasn't already hard enough. We're gonna lose music to automation, too. Wonderful.

I fucking hate this planet.

I find it intriguing, I would it if AI started stealing spots from human pop stars.

You're 35 years too late. Thousands of drummers have been destroyed by the drum machine.

 

[MUnited83]

"Daddy's Car" is composed in the style of The Beatles. French composer Benoît Carré arranged and produced the songs, and wrote the lyrics.

Mass produced synthesizers in the late 70's/early 80's actually did make a huge dent in the industry for session musicians who earned a living from recording backing stuff for all kinds of productions. People didn't switch over to synthesizers for stuff like commercials, radio/TV jingles etc just because it happened to be trendy. Why pay for an entire string quartet or brass ensemble when you could just get someone in-house who was competent with a keyboard?

 

[Sesuadra]

Well it's better than anything Beyoncé ever did.
