Grammy Rules and Big Questions
Harvey Mason, Jr., the head of the Grammy Awards, said that this computer-made song can be in the running for a Grammy. He’s clear that even though a computer helped, a person was still in charge. That’s raising questions about how to protect artists’ works online from being copied without permission.
Universal Music Group’s Take
Universal Music Group (UMG), a big player in the music business, didn’t hold back in saying what they thought about Ghostwriter’s computer-made song. Their choice of words shines a light on a bigger discussion over how computers fit into making music and musicians getting paid. It’s like a fight between old and new in the musical world.
Whiplash”: More Computer-Made Music
Ghostwriter didn’t stop with “Heart on My Sleeve.” They made another computer-made song called “Whiplash,” trying to sound like Travis Scott and 21 Savage. Billboard Magazine quickly asked Travis Scott and 21 Savage what they thought about this new twist in music.
