Boy George<\/a> has revealed the secret behind his recent songwriting success.<\/p>\n

The 80s music icon<\/a> has opened up about turning to artificial intelligence for help with lyrics, even admitting he has used AI to write multiple albums.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve written like five albums with AI, I\u2019ve actually had a couple of things covered by artists as well,\u201d George said.<\/p>\n

Cotton initially appeared surprised before noting while there is plenty of fear surrounding AI, there can also be benefits when it\u2019s used the right way.<\/p>\n

Boy George, who served as a coach on The Voice for four seasons, revealed he is using AI to write songs while on the North American leg of his Culture Club tour.<\/p>\n

The Karma Chameleon singer<\/a> said he also enjoys that AI allows him to work more independently.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have fantastic conversations with ChatGPT and I\u2019ll say, \u2018Oh those lyrics are crap, that\u2019s not what I would say\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut actually, you can train it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy manager was saying last night, \u2018You know you\u2019re talking to someone in China\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, I couldn\u2019t care less.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn artist like me, they try to force you to work in an old-fashioned way. I\u2019m ahead of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence produced music<\/h2>\n

Boy George is not the first of his music industry peers to integrate AI into their creative process.<\/p>\n

In June 2025, rapper and producer Timbaland announced he had signed an AI-generated music artist TaTa Taktumi to his new label, Stage Zero.<\/p>\n

The label aims to blend AI-generated sounds with human creativity to create A-Pop, or AI pop.<\/p>\n

Working with several collaborators and a range of multimedia tools \u2014 including the AI-powered music generation software Suno \u2014 Timbaland created TaTa Taktumi from the ground up.<\/p>\n

The company released Tata\u2019s first single Glitch x Pulse in October last year. Tata\u2019s voice is AI-generated, as is her digital presence in the accompanying music video.<\/p>\n
