Non-profit organization Artist Rights Alliance has issued an open letter focused on the rise of AI in music, signed by over 200 prominent names in the music industry, including Billie Eilish, Pearl Jam, Greta Van Fleet, Jason Isbell, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj,Elvis Costello, Jon Batiste, and Stevie Wonder.
Under the call to “stop devaluing music,” the letter states, “Some of the biggest and most powerful companies are, without permission, using our work to train AI models. These efforts are directly aimed at replacing the work of human artists with massive quantities of AI-created ‘sounds’ and ‘images’ that substantially dilute the royalty pools that are paid out to artists.”
Beyond potential royalty and revenue losses, the letter goes on to push back against the “assault on human creativity” posed by AI. “Unchecked, AI will set in motion a race to the bottom that will degrade the value of our work,” the document reads.

As AI is becoming more and more entrenched in modern music-making, many are testing the boundaries of the still-quite-new technology. One such artist is “You’re Beautiful” singer James Blunt, who asked AI to replicate his lyrical style, only to find that “either AI comes up with something very, very generic or my lyrics are just absolutely mundane.”
The mostly-joking comments from Blunt arrived in his recent interview with Squeeze’s Chris Difford on the podcast I Never Thought It Would Happen. After being asked what he thought about Young people using AI to write lyrics for them, Blunt said, “Every single one of us must have, having heard of [AI], typed in and then written ‘Give me a verse based on this, in the style of, in my case, a James Blunt lyric’”
Whenever he’s done it, though, Blunt was pretty disappointed in the “absolutely mundane” results. “So, AI has...

Singer-songwriter James Blunt hit out at Adele for cancelling her past concerts with less than 24 hours notice. The ‘You’re Beautiful’ singer, 49, surprisingly criticised Adele for postponing many gigs in the past few years, reports ‘Mirror.co.uk’.
Last year, she was in tears when she announced the last-minute cancellation of the start date of her Las Vegas residency. Fans were incredibly disappointed as they spent a lot of money on tickets, flights and hotels to see her.
One fan found out mid-flight that the highly-anticipated concert was cancelled. She spent thousands on non-refundable flights and hotel rooms when Adele broke the news. One fan fumed: “Her lack of notice is astounding. I’m angry and frustrated.”
As per ‘Mirror.co.in’, in 2017, she cancelled two shows she was meant to perform at Wembley Stadium and told fans she damaged her vocal cords. And now, a disappointed James shared his thoughts...

They say the era of movie stars is fading. If so, there are many reasons for that, but it’s funny how movie stardom works. It might be fading…until you see someone who has star quality spilling right out of her. Suddenly, her stardom seems more than a hope — it feels inevitable. That’s what I think about Eve Hewson after watching her in “Flora and Son,” the latest spiky wistful Dublin pop-rock bauble from writer-director John Carney.
Hewson, from “Bad Sisters,” plays the kind of character we’ve seen many times before: a feisty, dissolute single mother who’s swimming in problems, most of them of her own devising, like the fact that she’s trying to be a responsible parent and a party girl at the same time. Hewson’s Flora is an Irish whippersnapper with a 14-year-old son (Orén Kinlan) she does nothing but fight with,...
