Suno AI Generates Full Country Songs with One Prompt

"You tell it the genre and it totally does the whole thing, it's insane." Suno isn't just useful as a demoing tool; it also helps producers rapidly brainstorm different creative approaches to a song or musical passage. Independent songwriter Kalen Nash usually produces songs the old way, in his studio, track by track, but recently has adopted Suno for creative inspiration; he calls it a "band in your pocket." He's used it to turn diary entries into full songs. Jacob Durrett, a Big Loud producer, uses it to find alternative versions and "vibes" for songs.

He can put in a "half-cooked" idea for inspiration: Just a guitar idea scratch track is enough for Suno to output multiple melody and full song ideas in any genre imaginable. "I'm in awe of it sometimes, how good it can be, you know?" He says that Suno is giving him "a productivity boost more than a creative boost." As a skilled musician, he's equally capable of trying a song out in any style -- it just takes longer. His hope is that AI will take over the tedious parts of his job, like renaming files and preparing them to mix, so he can focus on the creative part.

Music publisher Eric Olson, who encourages writers to use the tool, calls it an "unlimited co-writer in the room." He finds it useful for coming up with samples without the headache of clearances, or concerns that someone else has sampled the same part.
