it's AI lol

There's no way that's AI. AI generated music still sounds like noise or is really basic ambient/EDM stuff.

Still so obsessed with Houdini (extended ver.)  

 

Thinking about how everything would change if the rest of the album sounded like that

I hate to break it to you, but it's AI. They sound really bad in some parts.

 

Also, from what was shared on here a few weeks ago, the RO demos don't seem to be in circulation yet. 

 

Edit: AI music has actually gotten really good lately, it's scary

YES! Extended gets a near daily listen in this household. The only way it's inferior is it's missing the more dramatic drumroll into the breakdown (I've NEVER understood that choice, ugh  )

Houdini is still THAT song

kinda surprised to its streams are at 677 million. It's not a smash hit but the overall streams are decent and it is getting 1 million streams everyday. A HIT

It definitely has longevity

[storminthedark]

The core problem of this era isn't a lack of quality, because there's glimmers of her excellence in this campaign (Houdini & TS are excellent songs, the Illusion MV, the album shoot really works for me even if it's disconnected from the rest of the era's visuals), it's the fact that there's little opportunity to grow and build upon it. You could argue the album made so little noise culturally that it hasn't negatively impacted her the way some people make out (which is true to an extent) but the success of FN wasn't just the success of the album itself, it was the momentum it gave her. At the end of that campaign it felt like she had the momentum to build on it and evolve as an artist and her narrative, this era has firmly placed her back into a position of needing to gain that momentum again and stagnation. Her shows and hits will continue receiving praise, but the question of where she goes from here is going to linger for a long time. The question is if she wants it enough to reconstruct the momentum she lost.

Is this real? Cuz if so, we have a hit on our hands if this is included in the deluxe.

Smasha indeed!

These Walls is a career highlight to me. Wish it could still take off somehow.

Jesus, had she been Tame Impala'd, she would've smashed (in my house)

 

Even the tolerable portion of the album cuts (These Walls, Falling Forever) isn't worth going back to for me...

 y'all just saying anything at this point 

[BlackoutZone]

All of these "demos" are a mixture of AI and producing skill, the person who made all the snippets started releasing them as full remixes on Youtube and ****.. they are amazing

Doesnt seem a stock music because it's too pop-coded for me.
