Two Single Release AI Firsts: Randy Travis' Voice and a Beatles' Grammy

Prof Snyder's Music Biz News by AI Music and Music Industry Educator, Jeff Snyder

Episode notes

Two singles mark AI music production history:

  • Randy Travis, who can't speak or sing since a 2013 stroke, released another single. His first was the "very first artist-sanctioned commercially released song to feature their own artificially-generated voice'. Is this is just the beginning of artists and labels using 'sanctioned' artificially generated vocals? Could we expect to hear a much younger sounding Paul McCartney, and other aging artists, releasing new music using this AI tech?
  • The Beatles won a Grammy for 'Now and Then,' the first for an AI Restored song. Will there be a deluge of AI 'restored' music released from the label's archives of unreleased material?
