Seal‘s ‘Kiss From A Rose’, covered by Metallica frontman James Hetfield.In recent months, a whole host of artificially generated cover versions have been shared online, seeing famous artists cover hit songs not in their traditional wheelhouse.Recently, we’ve been treated to The Beatles ‘covering’ The Beach Boys and a controversial ‘cover’ of Hole’s ‘Celebrity Skin’ by Kurt Cobain.The ‘Kiss From A Rose’ cover with vocals from Hetfield is as unexpected as it sounds, and sees Seal’s soulful voice replaced by Hetfield’s trademark bark.Hear the AI creation below.The most infamous AI-created music to come out so far, though, is an AI-generated “lost” Oasis album that was released earlier this year.The eight-track ‘AISIS’ album was developed by indie band Breezer, who created their own tracks over lockdown before adding an AI take of Liam Gallagher’s vocals over the top.Described as an “alternate reality concept album”, it came about after the band got “bored of waiting for Oasis to reform.”Responding to the record, Liam took to Twitter to confirm he’d listened to a couple of the tracks and they were “better than all the other snizzle out there.” He went on to call the project “mad as fuck” before adding that his AI vocals sounded “mega”.Speaking to NME as part of the ongoing In Conversation series (watch above), Noel Gallagher then had his say on the AI-generated album.“These fucking idiots have clearly got too much time on their hands and too much money that they can afford the technology to fucking piss around doing that for a laugh,” said Noel before revealing that he was “saving up for the technology myself.”“Then I’m just gonna dial it in to some computer and fucking churn it out when I’m 73.

J. Kim Murphy Greta Gerwig’s hot pink fantasia “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s intricately bleak historical drama “Oppenheimer” are both putting up box office openings to remember. In a summer movie season that has largely failed to keep spirits up, two bona fide blockbusters are showing that everyone can be a winner. But the more winning winner between the two — the number one movie in North America — is Warner Bros. Discovery’s “Barbie.” After scoring $22.2 million on Thursday, the highest preview ticket sales of the year, the big screen bonanza about Mattel’s ubiquitous doll kept the superlatives going on Friday, adding another $48.2 million from 4,243 theaters.

Taylor Swift. The country singer turned pop star has an unparalleled talent for tackling the good, the bad and the ugly of real-life love and, as she sings on her 2014 album, , she's «got a long list of ex-lovers» for inspiration. That list of ex-lovers in question is also about as star-studded as they come — one might even call it «Bejeweled.» Joe Jonas, Calvin Harris, Harry Styles and Joe Alwyn are just some of the names the GRAMMY winner has dated during her multi-decade career. Despite a surplus of fan theories, Swift, 33, is actually quite private about her lyrical inspirations.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music When the Recording Academy announced its latest updates to the Grammy Awards rules last month, there was a frantic, last-minute tweak to the wording of a new rule governing the eligilibity of recordings that used AI — so last-minute that a rep was contacting journalists beginning at 4:30 a.m. Pacific time. A new rule governing music that used AI technology, which the Academy had hoped to keep simple by saying that only human-generated music would be eligible, had been extensively revised, although the upshot remained the same: Yes, recordings that use one of the multiple types of AI technology will be eligible, but “we’re not going to be giving a nomination or an award to AI computer or someone who just prompted AI,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. clarified to Variety late last month. “That’s the distinction that we’re trying to make. It’s the human award highlighting excellence, driven by human creativity.”

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Fifty years ago today, on the stage of London’s Hammersmith Odeon, David Bowie killed Ziggy Stardust. Of course, it was not a conventional murder: Ziggy was Bowie’s creation, a character he’d created, a vessel for his rise to fame behind his blockbuster 1972 album “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars,” which led to one of the fastest and most meteoric rises to superstardom in pop-culture history and created something of a self-fulfilling paradigm, involving the rise of the titular rock star whose fame went to his head and maybe died, maybe didn’t. After nearly a decade of trying and mostly failing to become famous as himself, Bowie apparently figured it might be easier to do it as someone else — as a “totally credible plastic rock star,” as he would later describe it.
