Blur and Gorillaz vocalist defended the use of technology for musicians, claiming that the resource “is a good opportunity for everyone”
Responsible for bands like Blur It is Gorillaz, Damon Albarn shared his thoughts on the use of Artificial Intelligence in the music industry, especially on the release of the new single from Beatles.
During an interview with the French magazine Les Inrockuptibles (via NME), Albarn thinks the same technology could even be applied to your voice one day.
“Initially, it was John Lennon alone in his apartment singing a song,” he said of ‘Now And Then’. “I don’t think I was supposed to reach that level of exposure. But you know, it’s a good opportunity for everyone. I heard that some compilations will be re-released. So it might not be the last.”
It’s a matter of scale: if enough people are interested, there could be hundreds of my songs released after my death, including songs I would never have wanted to release.
Described and publicized as the “last song” in the history of Beatles“Now and Then” was only launched with the help of Artificial intelligence (AI), responsible for extracting vocals from John Lennon from an old demo, allowing Paul McCartney It is Ringo Starr complete the song.
After release, “Now and Then” topped the UK charts and was the 18th single from Fab Four reaching the top of musical trends – the last one was “The Ballad Of John And Yoko” (1969).
