Xania Monet: AI Singer Steals Spotlight!

A new talent that grew out of a lab. It is named Xania Monet and it has charted a few hit songs.

The end of American music as we know it.

They are going to make music completely out of artificial intelligence. It will drive actual musicians, producers, mixers and songwriters out of business. 

A female vocalist who is completely artificial intelligence has dominated the Billboard charts.

I refused to call Xania Monet a person. It is a thing. 

The singer is not real.

As the first AI artist to hit Billboard radio, It is a media magnet, sparking debates on the "future of music." The $3M deal amplified this—labels see it as a low-cost, scalable bet in a streaming economy where human production is expensive. Timbaland's involvement adds credibility, positioning AI as a tool for accessibility (e.g., empowering lyricists without vocal talent or studio access).

Monet is an artificial intelligence singer created by the American poet Telisha Jones. Her song "How Was I Supposed to Know?” was the first-ever AI song to enter a Billboard radio airplay chart, entering Adult R&B Airplay at number 30. 

It also charted on Hot R&B Songs at 20, while her song "Let Go, Let God" peaked at number 3 on the Hot Gospel Songs. Jones writes most of the lyrics for Monet herself, and uses Suno to generate the music. Following a bidding war, Monet was signed to Hallwood Media for 3 million pounds.

Kehlani has criticized the deal.

I don't blame her.

She is a staunch supporter of the Palestinian freedom movement and it has cost her some gigs. However, her talents are natural.

J. Cole said it, "Before long, all the songs the whole world sings'll be generated by latest of AI regimes. As all of our favorite artists erased by it scream from the wayside, 'Aye, whatever happened to human beings?'"
