AI-generated Vocal Track of Drake Up for Grammy Nomination<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Ghostwriter team has submitted “Heart on My Sleeve” to the Recording Academy, the organization behind the Grammys, for nomination in Best Rap Song and Song of the Year, according to a representative for the New York Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to this AI generated song featuring Drake & The Weeknd.

It goes so damn hard.

It's by "Ghostwriter977" on TikTok and it's blowing up on socials + streaming platforms.

UMG, which controls around 1\/3 of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/roz2EfI48M\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>— Roberto Nickson (@rpnickson) April 16, 2023<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/blockquote>

In both categories, the award goes to the songwriter, who the Ghostwriter representative confirmed as human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the Grammys updated their policy for award eligibility for the forthcoming award season to include AI-generated music <\/a>components. The catch is that the recording must be nominated in a category for a human-created portion of the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CEO of the Grammys, Harvey Mason Jr., verified this, stating that AI-infused music is “absolutely eligible” for nomination. He reaffirmed this to the New York Times about the Ghostwriter AI-Drake track, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs far as the creative side, it\u2019s absolutely eligible because it was written by a human.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to Grammy regulations, a recording must have “general distribution” to be eligible, including streaming services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, “Heart on My Sleeve” was removed from all major streaming services despite the opinion of industry experts that its use of artificial intelligence fell within a “legal gray area.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group, one of the most prominent record labels in the industry, sent a mass email in April to major streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music, requesting that they prevent artificial intelligence (AI) services from harvesting melodies and lyrics from copyrighted songs and remove songs in violation of copyright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was subsequently reported that Spotify <\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>had increased its policing of tracks in violation of copyright infringement on its platform, as well as its barring of artificial streaming of songs to increase the number of listeners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
