Hallowood Media, a relatively obscure label, is signing ImOliver, the top user of the AI music generation platform Suno. This move has sparked debate, as it raises questions about the value of AI-generated music versus human creativity. Suno allows users to create full songs from text prompts, making it easy for those without traditional musical skills to produce listenable music. While “I’m Oliver” has amassed over 3 million streams, critics argue that signing an AI music user overlooks real artists and dilutes emotional depth in music. Supporters contend that writing effective prompts and assembling tracks still require a unique, if nascent, skill set. The discussion reflects a broader conversation about AI as a tool in music production, its role in songwriting, and the nature of audience engagement, with some seeing it as a valuable step in the creative process and others labeling it as a passing novelty comparable to the short-lived NFT hype.
