The Velvet Sundown, an AI-generated band, has gained popularity with two albums, 'Floating on Echoes' and 'Dust in Silence.' With over 1 million monthly Spotify listeners, their track 'Dust on the Wind' reached the Viral 50 chart in various countries. Their music follows traditional structure and rhythm, simulating a human band. However, the music is derivative and lacks genuine human input. The rise of AI-generated music prompts an examination of its quality and the audience's perception of its origins and authenticity, particularly regarding lyrical content and composition.
The Velvet Sundown's melodies follow chord progressions, and their songs have rhythm sections that follow along with the bass and drums.
Time will tell how prevalent AI-generated music will become - and, more critically, whether audiences will even care about a song's origins if the track is a bona fide bop.
In AI lyrics, something is just a little bit off. There is a constant barrage of single syllable, perfect-end rhymes.
Though popular, it's fair to say that the music is derivative, and that's because it quite literally is: The band and its music are all a product of AI.
