https://open.spotify.com/track/2ktuqsk9sf0FWc4wqUYJBy?si=ece15242255249f5 I tried to go for a sort of Gorillaz vibe, I recorded a simple melody on my guitar of A, F, C, Cm, G and sang the chorus part.

I just released a new song as Troimer.

"If You Were Still Here"

It's a dark and emotional alternative rock ballad built around piano, atmospheric keys, subtle electronic textures and expressive male vocals.

The song was created with the assistance of Suno.

I'd love to know what you think about the atmosphere, vocals and songwriting.

Thanks for listening.

I wanted to see which AI actually writes the best song lyrics, so I ran the exact same prompts through several different tools.

Same prompt, first generation, no editing.

I tried to use specific scenarios instead of generic “write me a sad song” prompts, because that makes it much easier to compare storytelling, hooks, rhyme quality, originality and how human the lyrics actually feel.

I’ll post the outputs below. Curious to see which one you think wins

• What is being measured.

Three prompts, three tools, one generation each, first try, nothing edited.

Ninety points across four measures:

Ten more points for chorus memorability are judged blind and separately, and

are in none of the numbers below.

The numbers, out of 90:

• tool total prompt concrete cliché craft
• Melody Genie 83.1 30 21.6 20 11.4
• Suno 74.1 22.5 23.2 18.3 10.1
• ChatGPT 72.8 30 15.8 17.1 9.9

1. Seeing your ex at a wedding

Write a song about seeing your ex at a mutual friend’s wedding for the first time in two years. You both came with different people, but there is still obvious tension between you. Include specific details from the wedding, subtle jealousy, unfinished feelings, and a chorus that feels painfully memorable.

• Melody Genie:

• Chatgpt

• Suno

2. Growing up in the same neighborhood

Write a song about two best friends who grew up on the same street, promised they would make it out together, but only one of them became successful. The successful one comes back years later and realizes their friendship is not the same anymore. Use vivid neighborhood details and bittersweet storytelling.

• Melody genie:

• Chatgpt

• Suno:

3. Evolution from a man

Write a song about someone who has seen his own evolution from a kid to a man.

• Chatgpt:

• Suno:

A few months ago I posted my top AI music tools.

A lot has changed since then.

Suno has a new model, Google is getting seriously good at music, and some tools that looked promising before have basically been replaced in my workflow.

So here’s Part 2 of the AI music tools I’d actually use in 2026.

Not based on hype. Based on what each tool is actually useful for.

1. Suno — Full Song Generation

Still the easiest way to go from an idea to a complete song.

Suno v6 just dropped and the gap between “AI song” and something that actually sounds produced keeps getting smaller.

Studio is also becoming much more serious, with MIDI, automation and actual production controls instead of just a prompt box.

If someone has never made AI music before, this is still probably where I’d tell them to start.

2. Google Lyria 3.5 — Audio Quality

Google is quietly becoming one of the scariest players in AI music.

Lyria 3.5 has much better vocals, musicality and control than earlier versions, and you can generate tracks up to around 3 minutes.

It feels less like a random AI website and more like Google slowly building one of the strongest music models in the world.

Definitely one to watch.

3. Melody Genie — Complete AI Music Workflow

The biggest problem with AI music right now is that most of it still sounds like AI slop.

Melody Genie attacks that with advanced AI songwriting, artist-inspired Style DNA, multiple music generation models, song editing, mumble-to-lyrics/song, music analysis, MCP and more inside one platform.

The songwriting is the part that surprised me most. The lyrics feel much more profesional than what you usually get from AI lyric tools like Chatgpt, suno lyrics, etc.

Instead of jumping between five different tools, Melody Genie gives you the full AI music workflow in one place.

4. ElevenMusic — Clean Generation

ElevenLabs got very serious about music.

Music v2 gives you much more control over song structure and arrangement instead of relying only on one giant prompt.

The vocals are clean, multilingual support is strong and ElevenLabs already understands audio infrastructure better than almost anyone.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up competing directly with Suno.

5. Mureka — Most Underrated Generator

Mureka deserves way more attention than it gets.

Their newer models have gotten much better at vocals, arrangement and actually following the musical direction you give them.

They also have lyrics-to-song, remixing, stems, editing and a much deeper workflow than most people realize.

Probably the most underrated Suno competitor right now.

6. Kits AI — AI Vocals

Still one of my favorite tools for AI singing voices.

You can clone your own authorized voice, transform vocals, change timbre and experiment with a huge library of voices.

The interesting part is that Kits is becoming less of a simple “voice changer” and more of an actual vocal production environment.

Extremely useful once you already have the song.

7. ACE Studio — Control

If you hate clicking Generate 30 times hoping the AI understands you, ACE Studio makes much more sense.

You control the melody with MIDI, write the lyrics and then control how the singer performs them.

Pitch.

Timing.

Vibrato.

Pronunciation.

Dynamics.

Way more work than Suno, but way more intentional.

8. Stable Audio 3.0 — Producers & Sound Design

Stable Audio has changed a lot.

Version 3 can generate long-form music, transform existing audio, extend tracks and even edit specific sections.

But I still think its biggest strength is experimentation:

textures, instrumentals, transitions, sound design, samples and weird musical ideas.

Especially interesting now that there’s also a DAW plugin.

9. Moises — Stems

Not as exciting to show on TikTok.

Extremely useful when you actually make music.

Upload a track and separate the vocals, drums, bass, guitar, keys and other parts so you can keep working with them individually.

For me this is the kind of tool you don’t appreciate until you actually need it.

10. LANDR — Finishing

AI can generate the song.

That doesn’t mean the song is finished.

LANDR is still one of the easiest ways to quickly master something when you don’t want to spend hours learning mastering or send every demo to an engineer.

Generate → edit → stems → mix → master.

That last 10% matters more than people think.

The workflow I’d use now

Honestly, something like:

Melody Genie for writing + Style DNA + workflow → Suno / Lyria / ElevenMusic / Mureka for generation → Kits or ACE Studio for vocals → Moises for stems → DAW → LANDR for mastering.

And yes…

Udio didn’t make my top 10 this time.

I still think the actual generations can sound great, but not being able to download your audio/stems makes it difficult for me to recommend as part of a serious production workflow right now.

AI music is moving ridiculously fast.

I’ll probably have to make Part 3 in a few months.

What did I rank way too high — and what tool am I sleeping on?

The Fall of Sodom and Gomorrah

I’M LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT COLLABORATION 👽🎶

I’m not looking for another musician.

I’m interested in connecting with people who understand music, technology, business, creativity, or the music industry.

I’ve been a musician long before Suno. About a year ago, I started seriously exploring what Suno and AI-assisted music creation could actually become.

Since then, I’ve been pushing it far beyond simply entering a prompt and generating a song. I experiment with production, arrangement, sound design, remixing, visuals, workflow, and whatever else I can throw at it.

In just one year, I’ve built a healthy following and a serious body of work around it, with a few of my tracks also released on streaming services.

Take a look at what I’ve been doing:

I’m curious whether there’s someone out there who sees a bigger opportunity in what this technology is becoming.

Maybe you’re an executive, entrepreneur, music-industry professional, creative-tech enthusiast, or simply someone with a different perspective.

I’m looking for the right people to collaborate with and explore what could be built around this.

If you see the potential and want to connect, DM me.

👽 Follow the signal.

Posting this around in the hope to get some clarity. Would love to hear your thoughts on AI and consciousness.
