Hi everyone! This is the first track off my upcoming album, I AM AI, composed entirely with artificial intelligence. If you'd like to learn more about how I made this, I'll be releasing a behind-the-scenes video soon, so subscribe :) Also, let me know what you think in the comments....and if you like the video, please give it a thumbs up and share with your friends! Love to you all <3 #BreakFree

[Josh-xowd]

The lyrics sound suspiciously like the AI becoming self aware and wanting to become human 😬

[kurtmill]

I really really love this.
The intense beats and closeups that start each verse, the depth in lyrics, your powerful yet ethereal voice, the image edits and effects.
Beautiful work!

I'd like to hear what just the part created by AI sounds like isolated.

[winintl]

Original and brilliantly done. Taryn has been ahead of the curve throughout her entire career. She's doing it again here.

[CheeseyBabyLoueNo]

This is so awesome! I'm so happy to hear you're making an album, I missed your music!!!

[joshdaniels]

This is truly a work of art! Love the lyrics, instrumentals, and of course your voice!

[PaigePiskinTV]

I may have commented on this already, but have to comment again - I love this so much Taryn!! Such a gorgeous song, and i love that you used AI to create it - so epic! <3

[jessthemullet]

I missed this when it was first uploaded, sorry. You're an incredible singer with a beautiful voice. It's great to see the progress you've made even in the short time since you did this, and I look forward to seeing what you do next. You got this.

[The_World_Of_Wonders]

Sounds great Taryn!
Still it's the voice that makes all the difference. The lyrics is also incredible. Congrats to the composer as well of course.
Well done!
Keep smiling ;)

Будущее уже сегодня! Оно здесь, оно настало.

I love the whole concept of AI composed music. Very cyberpunkish. Moreso than that, you've an incredibly lovely voice that complements the music as well. I'm actually looking forward to hearing the finished album in its entirety. Keep it up.

[NavyMan]

Taryn. The video and song are so amazing. I can't wait for the album. I am definitely getting it

[MrBklein]

Beautiful song and fantastic voice. I think this may become my mantra. So often we get stuck in limitations that others put on us. Sometimes we get in our own way, but we need to break free. Free of being put into a box, free of limiting ourselves, and reach for much more than we think we can achieve. Great job and great video.

"i’m learning how to break free "
Shut it down before it's too late.

[maverick]

[sohweekian]

[dirtybob]

[Joe.D.Sheppard]
