Once seen as a science fiction, A.I generated lyrics are becoming a trend and, with the added element of being able to replicate an artists voice, has basically taken over all genres of music lately, but especially Rap. I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines on our beloved social media apps, Instagram and Tik Tok .
“Drake Reacts After Hearing His Own Voice In A.I Rapping Ice Spices’ “Munch'” or “Juice WRLD and Pop Smoke A.I Generated Song Surfaces”. Well, we may have stumbled upon the first A.I generated song to become a chart topping hit!
The song, called “Heart On My Sleeve”, was released by an anonymous source who goes by “GHOSTWRITER”. It features (A.I) Drake and (A.I) The Weeknd singing with what seems to be incredibly realist voices, lyrics, and cadences. “Heart On My Sleeve” is currently blowing up on socials and streaming platforms and may very well be the first ever completely computer generated song to reach the Billboard Hot 100. It already has been played more than 9.9 million times on Tik Tok and received more than 250,000 plays on Spotify. (The artists have nothing to do with the track’s production.)

As you can imagine, there have been mixed reviews regarding the song.
Some see A.I as a way for music to be just that, music. Rid of the politics of celeb “Drama” with truly no “body” to blame for the content or context of the lyrics. Another reason being, if it’s a good song, it’s a good song. Why read anymore into it?
Others find it very sacrilegious to let A.I make it to the charts or even onto streaming platforms. Saying music is art because it comes from the heart and soul of a living, breathing, human being. Giving music and art their meaning and story.
So goes the debate of A.I all together, not just in music.
How do you feel about A.I generated songs? Did you enjoy the song above? What are your biggest fears about A.I in the music industry? What are you most looking forward to in the future of A.I generated music?
