You might be listening to AI music

The band The Velvet Sundown broke through the music charts with millions of streams in months after coming from nowhere — and being an entirely AI band.

Anthony Fantano runs The Needle Drop (youtube.com/theneedledrop), where he reviews albums and comments on the music industry. You can check him out there or follow him on Instagram @afantano (instagram.com/afantano/?hl=en).
