These songs don't have any hooks. Melodies don't get repeated. They all just meander along. I think as they get better at making these great middle of the road songs, edgy music will reemerge. Whatever AI will be good at, will immediately devalue, in the realm of arts. Just how photography gave way to non-realistic art and how drum machines made sloppy drums (or ridiculous apex twins) hip. Then, the artifacts we see…
You can make them have a hook if you structure it right. The default prompt on Suno winds up as "verse, verse 2, chorus" for the structure, which indeed does sort of sound like a song, but not a song at the same time. When I changed things around and put a chorus in twice I wound up getting an actual song with a hook.
I assume the 2 minute limit has a lot to do with this. Often I find Suno generates anywhere between 40 seconds to 2 minutes, with the shorter generations having less of a recognizable structure as a song. If instead it was 3 to 4 minutes, I think it'd be radically different.
