Immediately got a banger: "Dimensions of being" https://suno.com/song/dd3dbde0-4df6-4aec-a9be-bd2f64c281c8





Hmm. Still has the biggest issue I’ve observed with AI songs in the past: the lyrics don’t have a consistent or pleasing rhythm. It seems like the lyrics are generated with little regard to rhythm, then the melody is generated and tries to fit the lyrics without being able to change them. The result is a song where verses constantly have too many syllables (resulting in them spilling into the next meter when adjacent verses don’t), or too few syllables (resulting in awkward rests), or syllables with the wrong stresses. Occasionally the singing tries to compensate by just skipping syllables. In the second verse, the word “whispering” is replaced by an indistinct two-syllable word that sounds like “forming”. In the chorus, the phrase “the dimensions” merges the first two syllables to sound like “the mentions”.

Someday, I’m sure, Suno will find a way to fix this issue. But today isn’t that day.


Got this Urdu song https://suno.com/song/4c5837c9-26ae-430e-839d-3cdf8d8cbcb0 (https://archive.vn/pLMHD) and it is hauntingly meaningless, which makes it ... unique? Lyrics doesn't seem to be Suno's strong suit (and Urdu particularly has a rich poetry tradition), but it won't remain as ridiculous for long. Exciting times!

You don't feel like this is incredibly generic?
