I Forced AI To Remake Songs But In The Wrong Genre
Entertainment
Introduction
Have you ever wondered how your favorite songs would sound if they were transformed into completely different music genres? Well, I did just that by challenging AI to recreate popular songs but in the most unexpected styles—including K-pop, classical, rock, and country. The objective? To see if these remakes could somehow be better than the originals.
For this experiment, I picked five songs that spanned various eras, from recent hits to timeless classics, and utilized Mure AI for the task. This platform is intriguing because it allows users to employ real songs as references in music creation, a feature that many other music-making platforms have since removed. This capability, combined with AI-generated vocals that mimic popular music artists, promised an exciting outcome.
Blinding Lights by The Weeknd
The first song selected was "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. After a refresher of its catchy melody, I plugged in the song’s lyrics up until the main chorus and chose different genres to reinterpret it.
K-pop Version
Using the K-pop song "Sunshine Rainbow White Pony" as a reference, the AI created a K-pop rendition. Surprisingly, it didn’t ruin the essence of the song; the elements meshed quite well together.
Classical Version
Next, we attempted a classical interpretation with "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" by Mozart. The result was oddly soothing and reminiscent of a nursery rhyme—a surprise that exceeded my expectations.
Rock Version
The third genre was rock, using "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana as a reference. This version maintained the integrity of the original while breathing new life into it.
Country Version
Finally, I ventured into country music using "Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton. Truthfully, this blend worked surprisingly well, blending elements of country and R&B pop.
Levitation by Dua Lipa
Moving on to "Levitating" by Dua Lipa, I once again input the lyrics and experimented with various genres.
K-pop Version
For the K-pop remake, I chose "What is Love" by Twice as a reference. The result didn’t quite meet my hopes, falling a bit flat compared to the original.
Classical Version
The classical version referenced "Ode to Joy" by Beethoven. Admittedly, this one sounded more chaotic than melodic, with an orchestral backdrop that clashed with the lyrics.
Rock Version
My rock rendition was inspired by "Back in Black" by ACDC. This version was surprisingly effective, working well with the theme and keeping up the tempo.
Country Version
For the country take, I used "Blue Ain't Your Color" by Keith Urban. Although it showcased the country vibe, it didn't resonate with me personally.
God's Plan by Drake
The next song to tackle was "God's Plan" by Drake, where I employed various genres to remix the lyrics.
K-pop Version
Using "Super Shy" by New Jeans, the K-pop rendition felt authentic but lacked the authenticity that should come with Drake’s original style.
Classical Version
In the classical style, I used "Spring" by Vivaldi. The result, however, was chaotic and felt like a musical experiment gone wrong.
Rock Version
Following this, I attempted the rock version with a classic Queen reference, "We Will Rock You." The vocals rushed through, giving a sense of urgency that didn't match well with the overall vibe.
Country Version
The country remake used "Die a Happy Man" for references. It became clear that blending Drake with country music was a challenging pairing, offering less than ideal results.
Anaconda by Nicki Minaj
The fourth song was "Anaconda," which posed an additional challenge in terms of genre flipping.
K-pop Version
For K-pop, I drew inspiration from "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" by BLACKPINK. This mashup was bizarre, swinging between English and Korean unexpectedly.
Classical Version
With "Ride of the Valkyries" as a reference for classical music, the result was surprisingly not as horrendous as anticipated.
Rock Version
Ankara transformed into rock with "Hotel California" by The Eagles, providing a surprisingly enjoyable rendition that felt cohesive.
Country Version
Finally, the country version referenced "Body Like a Back Road" by Sam Hunt. While it was not perfect, it showcased Nicki's lyrics in an interesting new light.
Baby by Justin Bieber
Last but not least was the iconic "Baby" by Justin Bieber. The last round of genre-bending was underway.
K-pop Version
Drawing from "Blood Sweat and Tears" by BTS for pop, the AI returned a solid K-pop rendition, much to my delight.
Classical Version
With inspiration from "Hallelujah," this classical rendition maintained some of its magic, integrating modern lyrics into an ancient format.
Rock Version
Utilizing "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses for rock, this version surprisingly stayed enjoyable throughout.
Country Version
The last attempt at country used "The House That Built Me," which ended up being a lived experience for me, with nostalgia filling the atmosphere.
In conclusion, the results were a mixed bag. Some genres worked more harmoniously than others, showcasing the versatility of songs and artists. Experimenting wasn't just fun; it provided insight into how songs can evolve through stylistic changes.
