In news that feels ripped straight from a Black Mirror<\/em> script, an AI \u201cartist\u201d has signed a multi-million dollar record deal. Yep \u2013 you read that right. TikTok-famous power ballads, Beyonc\u00e9-adjacent vocals, and absolutely zero pulse<\/em>. Welcome to the future of pop music.<\/p>\n The deal, which according to Billboard<\/em> is reportedly worth US $3 million, comes courtesy of Hallwood Media, who\u2019ve bet big on Xania Monet \u2013 an AI creation brought to life by human lyricist Telisha Jones using the generative music platform, Suno.<\/p>\n Jones insists she writes all the lyrics herself, but it\u2019s the AI doing the singing, composing, and, well\u2026 existing. Xania\u2019s breakout track \u2018How Was I Supposed to Know?\u2019 (above) has already clocked up five million streams, proving that people will absolutely stream a robot if it sounds kinda like Beyonc\u00e9.<\/p>\n But before you start drafting your AI-collab wish list, there\u2019s a whole minefield of problems here. For one, many fans didn\u2019t even realise Xania Monet isn\u2019t real<\/em>, which could make for some spicy backlash now the secret\u2019s out.<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s the legal headache: Suno is already facing lawsuits for allegedly training its model on copyrighted music ripped straight from YouTube, and the US Copyright Office has made it clear they won\u2019t grant copyright where the \u201cexpressive elements are determined by a machine\u201d. Translation: Xania might not even fully own<\/em> her own music.<\/p>\n Still, the music industry loves a gamble, and with AI already flooding TikTok playlists, Hallwood clearly think this could be more \u2018Single Ladies\u2019 than \u2018single lawsuit\u2019.<\/p>\n Whether Xania Monet turns out to be the future of pop or just another flash-in-the-algorithm remains to be seen. For now, one thing\u2019s certain: your favourite new pop star doesn\u2019t need a green room, a record advance, or even oxygen.
