The revelation that The Velvet Sundown was an AI-driven project has left Spotify fans around the globe heartbroken. The band’s music, which had resonated deeply with listeners, was revealed to be the product of machine learning rather than human creativity.
Albums like Floating On Echoes and Dust And Silence had become anthems for many, who felt a personal connection to the lyrics and melodies. The emotional fallout has been significant, with fans expressing feelings of betrayal.
The truth came to light when an individual associated with the group revealed the band’s use of Suno, a cutting-edge AI music platform. The admission forced the band’s handlers to come clean and end the project.
This unprecedented case has sparked urgent discussions about transparency and authenticity in digital music, with many calling for new standards in content disclosure.
