Feel they didn't really test these genres

"Cajun synthpop chant" has no chanting or synths, it sounds more like country music with french woman vocals

I tried Urdu. The music quality seems good but the pronunciation is wrong (e.g. slight aa sound instead of ee sound) for many simple common words and helper words.

But I don't understand why its wrong. If its trained on lots of Urdu/Hindi music, no one pronounces those words like that. How does it get the a/e wrong while still singing almost correctly? It's weird.

Agreed, Suno still very often does not follow instructions

Yes, suno has definitely focused more on lyric and melody than prompt following. If the prompt is more than 3-4 words then it deteriorates pretty quickly. I think one reason is that there's not a lot of high quality descriptions of music around - you can guess the genre of the artist, and you can scrape reviews and the like, but that will be pretty noisy.

That's a sick UI gimmick.

And it's even cleverly mobile friendly.

I can't get Suno to obey the style tags, it's as if they are not used at all in generating the output, or massively changed. Maybe they do the same trick Gemini used to generate the black queen of England. Or it's a trick to waste our credits faster, the only way to get something decent is to spin the dice many times.

That is a very cool UI; super fun to just hit random and find new niche genres/styles. I'd never heard of klezmer, for example, but such a nice style! I don't know if it's the music, but it's been a while since a website has put this big a grin on my face!

I keep wanting to save some of the songs I hear. Damn, I don't think I would really be able to tell in a blind test that these were AI.

It seems to lean heavily on the lyrics when choosing the style; if you pick a style that doesn't match well with the lyrics, it'll kinda ignore it.

I really don't like that UI. It's hard to read, and when I found something it slips. Too much form over function

Just click the title of the song. If you have an account you can add to favorites, download, etc.
