AI Drake and The Weeknd Collab Eligible For Grammy, Says Recording Academy CEO

Drake and The Weeknd already do not rock with the Grammys, so the potential for their unauthorized AI collaboration successful an award possible will not mend any fences.

Still, that is the situation Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. is floating in the case of the controversial “Heart on My Sleeve” — the AI-generated monitor that surfaced in April that includes fake vocals from the Canadian megastars, however convincing sufficient to be a success.

Ghostwriter — the nameless human creator behind the monitor — submitted it for each Song of The Year and Best Rap Song for the 66th Grammy Awards subsequent 12 months.

Mason tells the New York Times he was impressed with “Heart on My Sleeve” because it opened up potentialities for his or her enterprise and declared it appropriate for nomination … “As far as the creative side, it’s absolutely eligible because it was written by a human.”

If Ghostwriter earned only a nomination, it may spearhead the subsequent evolution of artists: human songwriters who use different individuals’s artificially-generated voices!

Drake and Weeknd’s document label Universal Music Group would not share Mason’s enthusiasm. When the monitor was launched, the label had it pulled from DSPs … leaving it to lurk within the web’s darkish recesses. This Grammy improvement presents the music, and others prefer it, a brand new gentle.

The Weeknd and Drake have been boycotting the Grammys for years, going so far as to withdraw nominations and refuse to submit inheritor personal music.

On the opposite hand, Ghostwriter is not letting up off the digital throttle within the wake of his new profession strides.

He launched a brand new AI concoction Wednesday titled “Whiplash,” that includes CPU-generated soundalikes for Travis Scott and 21 Savage — 2 extra artists to piss off, but in addition one other attainable path to the Grammys!!!
