Accustomed to historic milestones in the music industry, The Beatles reached another one in 2024: when they announced they will compete for the 2025 Grammys, the most recent song From time to time became the first song watched by Artificial intelligence (IA) to be nominated for the biggest music award.
Now and then was released in November 2, 2023 for the Universal musicthrough Body of apples.and was dubbed the last song of Beatles. The song originates from a ballad that John Lenon (1940-1980) wrote and recorded around 1977 as an unfinished solo demo. And it almost makes it into the famous compilation The Beatles anthology 1995, which revealed the songs Free as a bird AND True love.
The Beatles: the software to record ‘Now and Then’
Paul McCartney was inspired by the documentary The Beatles: Going Backof the director Peter Jacksonreleased in 2021 and based on archive footage from the album’s recording sessions Let it be. McCartney and his team used the same AI-powered audio editing software that the manufacturer Giles Martin used to develop a new stereo mix of the album Revolversthat the Beatles launched in 1966.
The software in question is based on TO THE and how some video conferencing platforms like them Zoom OR FaceTimehas a feature to filter out background noise from a call. This technology helped isolate the sound of demo tapes. John Lenonrecorded in the 1970s, to restore existing audio for use in a modern song.
The final result surprised the industry and, above all, fans of the Beatles. If this will ensure that the The Fab Fourin the 21st century they can win the Grammy with strong contemporary competitors like Billie Eilish AND Kendrick Lamarwe don’t know. But will these same artists, giants of the current pop music scene, be able to compete with the most famous quartet in history?
