How easily can this AI tool produce an original song with realistic vocals, lyrics, album art, and a beat? Just enter your text prompt and click ‘Create’.
Several text-to-music generators are now on the market, including offerings from Meta and Google. However, the Suno AI music generator is becoming increasingly popular — likely because it creates original lyrics and vocals, and because it leverages the power of ChatGPT.
So what is Suno and how does it work?
What is Suno?
Suno is an AI music generator that uses a text prompt to generate a song with original lyrics and beats. The generator can be accessed via its free standalone website or via Microsoft Copilot by enabling Suno’s third-party plug-in.
What makes Suno stand out from other music-generating models? In addition to creating the music — which you can do on Meta’s AudioCraft and Google’s MusicFX — Suno also produces original lyrics and vocals. This is a reflection of the company’s mission to make it possible for everyone to create music, regardless of background or musical knowledge.
“Whether you’re a shower singer or a charting artist, we break barriers between you and the song you dream of making,” said Suno on its website. Suno’s intuitive interface makes it easy to use, and the only requirement is creating a free account.
How does Suno work?
Rolling Stone took a deep dive into Suno and its potential impact on the music business. In the report, the AI startup explained that Suno uses its own AI models to generate the music and then leverages ChatGPT to create the song’s title and lyrics.
