Anja Bex-Kleeven

This track is quite a long track, but we admire the effort, sentiment and prompting ability. Its rare for an AI artist (continue reading)

£1 Vote Explained

When we started AI MUSIC MONTHLY, our mission was simple: find the absolute best AI music artists, reward them, and help them bridge the gap from novice creators to professional music producers. But running a fair, high-stakes competition in the wild west of generative AI is a massive learning curve.

We’ve had to make some tough, experimental pivots over the last few months. If you’ve wondered why we charge £1 per vote for the People’s Champion award, we want to be completely transparent about how we got here (continue reading)

AI MUSIC – How To Get Heard More

Song Intro

Some of the songs we review for the competition have a 30-second intro, and often much longer. Imagine this track playing on TikTok. TikTok’s algorithms will punish videos where the viewer is unengaged for the first two seconds. By including your intro in the video, or having a long intro in the first place, you drastically reduce your chances of the viewer staying.

Unknown Persona + Emotional Track

Human artists have a massive advantage over hidden AI music profiles in terms of real emotional connection. The listener feels connected to the artist through their content, appearances, live shows, and more. A general music listener is less likely to engage with an unknown AI persona. They are also less likely to engage with emotional songs that have no personality connected to them (continue reading)

AI Musician: How to Actually Win Fans

Recently, we posed a question to our community: “If SONY Music came knocking with a multi-million-dollar deal, would you take it as an AI artist?”

Incredibly, some unknown AI music creators tried to argue for a “no”. They claimed they would turn down a life-changing career and millions of dollars simply because they didn’t like SONY’s commercial approach—ignoring the fact that SONY is one of the largest, most successful music establishments in the world. Do you believe them?! (continue reading)

Criticism & AI Musicians

As an AI music artist, you enjoy a convenient luxury. You are hidden behind a persona. Nobody knows who you are, how old you are, what you look like, or what your background is. In fact, the public knows very little about your personality at all.

Despite this anonymity, when you listen to your own tracks, you are likely convinced that your music is competitive with Taylor Swift and the rest of the human-made songs sitting in the Top 100 (continue reading)

The Journey of an AI Songwriter

Firstly…. you discover an AI music robot, and you can’t believe what you are hearing. Your very thoughts are now embedded in to what sounds to you like professional music. You have a new found bounce in your step and you walk around with a smile for the first few weeks of discovering it. You can’t wait to play your music to friends because you think it will be impossible for them to not like the music as much as you.

You are waiting for ‘wow, this is incredible it’s the best track I’ve ever heard’, or ‘this is amazing, where can I buy it’?. Sound familiar?! (read on)

Why Tony Ava? September 2026 Champion

When we first heard ‘Je Respire Encore 2’ the quality of the song construction felt absolutely right. It’s a long track by today’s standards. It doesn’t really get going until after the full intro—at 33 seconds we hear the first beat. From the lyrics “je me sens compris” to “Je suis pas fait pour les”—any musician would know that the main beat drop had to arrive on the word “les”, the one before “strass” (continue reading)

Why Your AI Music Sounds Like Shakespeare (And How to Fix It)

You’ve written the perfect lyrics. The rhymes hit, the message is deep, and the emotion is right there on the page. You paste them into Suno or Udio, click generate, and out comes a track with flawless pitch and studio production. You listen back, get a rush of dopamine, and think, “Damn, I’m the next Ed Sheeran.”

We are here to give you a harsh reality check.

Your tracks don’t sound like hits. They sound like an audio-book over a backing track (continue reading)

The AI Artist Bon Jovi “Livin’ on a Prayer” Syndrome

Next time you are at a crowded bar or a wedding, watch what happens when Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” comes on. The second that massive chorus hits, the entire room will scream every single word at the top of their lungs.

But if you walk up to those same people five minutes later and ask them what the song is actually about, most of them will look at you blankly (continue reading)

Why A £1 Per Vote (And Why It’s Better for the Future of AI Music)

When we started AIMUSICMONTHLY, our mission was simple: find the absolute best AI music artists, reward them, and help them bridge the gap from novice creators to professional artists. But running a fair, high-stakes competition in the wild west of generative AI is a massive learning curve.

The Harsh Truth: You Are Not Ed Sheeran (Yet) Your AI Music Might Suck

Let’s be entirely honest for a second. The internet is currently drowning in an ocean of unedited, unpolished noise. Ever since AI music tools dropped, everybody with a prompt thinks they’re the next Ed Sheeran or Elvis overnight. They hit “generate,” a coherent song pops out, and their ego completely blows up. They mistake the output of an advanced machine learning algorithm for genuine musical expertise. But then they look at their metrics. Stagnant. Stuck in the “12 Likes” trap where the only people supporting the track are a handful of friends and family who love them. If your music isn’t converting strangers, it isn’t working. And here is the brutal, first step you need to take if you ever want to become a great AI music artist: You have to admit that your music might not actually be as good as what you hear (continue reading)
