The Top One Percenters Playlist Volume 32
Travis Bott - Jack Park Canny Dope Man [Travis Scott if an AI Wrote It]
A technology-focused creative advertising agency called Space150 created an AI version of Travis Scott called Travis Bott. They created a music-learning algorithm and fed it a bunch of Travis Scott lyrics, beats, and songs, and then had the AI system write what it thought a Travis Scott song would sound like.
Adweek spoke with Ned Lampert, the Space150 Creative Director in charge of the project:
We were sort of fascinated with like, ‘What if we tried to make a song—like an actual good song—by using AI and basically creative directing AI?...And so we chose Travis Scott just because he is just such a unique artist and he has a unique sound and everything sort of has an aesthetic to it, both audibly and visually.I have to tell you, the lyrics are absolute trash and don't make any sense. And yet, this song is kind of fire. It feels like a Travis Scott song. Maybe more like a demo - a track that would be considered for the album but ultimately fall short because they couldn't crack the lyrics.
But what does this say about AI and the future of music? I think this track proves that AI can make music that fits within the modern culture with modern styles, themes and sounds. We already have CGI influencers (which is fucking creepy). If we didn't know this song was created by an AI, how would we accept it? How will we accept music when we learn AFTER we fall in love with a song that the person behind it isn't human at all?
The Top One Percenters Mixtape Vol 23
It always takes me a bit of time to put these together, mostly because I'm super selective about the music I listen to and decide to share with other people. I generally got to fall in love with a track in order to share it because I feel like I'm putting my name on the line, even for something as simple as a song recommendation. Check out volume 23 (and every playlist before it). Some of the cuts (and reasoning) include:
- Ariana Grande (pronounced Grand-ee) - Breathin': In her come back from a terrorist attack at one of her concerts, she puts everything into her upcoming 3rd single. It's one of the most powerful, optimistic and incredible tracks I've heard in a long time
- Calvin Harris - Promises: This dude does nothing but make hit
- RL Grime - OMG ft. Chief Keef: Chief Keef has a second career making electronic dance music. He's got similar tracks with Alison Wonderland and NERVO
- Alison Wonderland - No: Singer, producer, DJ, writer - she just makes hits
- Jungle - Busy Earnin': Just makes you wanna dance
- 5 Seconds of Summer - Talk Fast: I wish I was 10 years younger when 1D was big. Boy bands are back in style
- Diane Birch - All The Love You Got: I get a little sad everytime I hear this track, but in a good way. The writing on this track is fucking incredible
Major Lazer - Know No Better (feat. Travis Scott, Camila Cabello & Quavo)
Major Lazer is back with a pretty banging summer EP titled Know No Better. Caribbean-infused like everything they do, the first single, also called "Know No Better," features Travis Scott, Camila Cabello (formally of Fifth Harmony) & Quavo. It took me a few listens to enjoy the song (I almost deleted it) but this has grown on my quickly. Both optimistic and depressing, the track opens with a soft piano riff that is in no way indicative of how the rest of the track will sound — this is a banger than makes you wanna dance on a rooftop. This is NYC so I'm gonna go do exactly that when i get off work in 45 minutes.
Another song, "Particula" is dedicated to baes everywhere.
