Marrakech – Amidst the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, there’s a buzz about a new tool making waves in music creation.
Suno, the AI-powered song generator, has swiftly captured the spotlight across online communities.
In the realm of music creation, Suno distinguishes itself as a “comprehensive music production powerhouse,” offering a range of features not typically found in similar platforms, as detailed in a press release shared with Morocco World News.
Users can generate complete two-minute songs directly from text input, including lyrics, vocals, instrumentation, and artwork.
Suno prioritizes accessibility, providing a free account option that allows users to experiment with up to 10 songs daily.
Furthermore, premium plans are available for unlimited usage and commercial applications.
According to the press release, Suno stands out from its predecessors and competitors due to its all-encompassing method of music creation.
Unlike other AI music generators, Suno doesn’t just offer snippets or fragments; it provides complete songs tailored to the user’s preferred genre.
Reviews from the listeners and new found tech-musicians
Boriss, a prominent developer and writer on X, formerly Twitter, recently expressed his enthusiasm for the third version of the AI music generator.
“Finally tried the AI music generator by @suno_ai_ (Version 3 is just out.) I’m blown away! AI music will be huge, ” shared Boriss in a tweet.
Another user expressed a mix of excitement and trepidation, stating, “Check out Suno AI, crazy how good the results of this AI music generator are. I am listening to my own playlist for an hour. Made it in minutes. So many artists can pack their bags. Almost frightening.”
Ihtesham Haider, co-founder of The Prohuman, an AI Tech Newsletter boasting over 150,000 subscribers, asserted, “This is the end of cheap music. It’s time to write the song you wanted to listen to with AI.”
While users on X are buzzing with excitement, some musicians are experiencing the exact opposite sentiment.
According to Vice media group, many musicians and producers are outraged by the idea of leveraging artificial intelligence in music creation. They are concerned and even terrified that these tools might render them as “obsolete” as a VHS tape.
However, Suno is generating excitement throughout the industry, as highlighted in the press release, with its “notable collaborations and viral sensations showcasing its capabilities.”
This is exemplified by partnerships like the one with Microsoft’s Copilot chatbot.
Notably, a song generated by the tool called “Soul of The Machine” recently went viral, with Rolling Stones magazine calling it the “solo acoustic Mississippi Delta blues about a sad AI.”
Although it garnered an impressive 36,000 plays in four days, according to Rolling Stones podcast Music Now, the blues tune also stirred controversy amongst listeners.
One such listener, guitarist Vernon Reid, stated that the “use of an African-American idiom (referring to the blues singer style)…merely to demonstrate how close to ‘human’ the AI can become is disturbing.”
Has Suno AI hit the right note?
However, despite the critics, Suno is expected to attract even more attention as users explore its features and push the boundaries of what’s achievable with AI-generated music.
Chelsea Alves, a consultant with UNmiss, a website dedicated to assisting users with traffic and sales, remarked that Suno represents a drastic and welcome shift in music creation.
“With the platform, anyone can channel their inner artist, regardless of musical expertise. Whether you’re just diving into the realm of music production or an aspiring artist, Suno empowers its users to bring their musical vision to life with ease and simplicity for free,” stated Alves.
