What Is Suno?
Sunois a third-partyAI-generation music service.
It feels like Spotify if all the music was created by artificial intelligence.
To use it, you’ll need to visit the web version located atcopilot.microsoft.cominstead.
To activate Suno, look for thePluginsoption in the top-right.
Click it, then scroll down and choose the switch forSuno.
You’ll know Suno is working if Copilot displays a message that reads “Using: Suno.”
After a little wait, Suno will give you the lyrics for your new song.
A little while after that, aPlaybutton will appear on the song’s art.
press thePlaybutton to listen to your freshly-made AI-generated song.
Asking Suno to “create a song” is just scratching the surface of what it can do.
Just remember that Suno songs generated through Copilot are for personal use only.
Is Suno Any Good at Creating Music?
So I decided to give Suno a try with five prompts.
And here’s how it got on.
Purrfect Melody
Prompt:“Create a song about cats.”
For my first prompt, I gave Suno a lot of freedom.
I asked it to generate a song about cats and let it do its thing.
The result wasn’t too bad.
I do enjoy the tune of this song, which has a strangely catchy beat to it.
And given the lack of instruction I gave it, it did a good job.
Which doesn’t work at all.
Melodies of Stardust
Prompt:“Create a song in the style of Electric Light Orchestra.”
And I was quite impressed by the results.
The lyrics are a little better in this one, and the music during the verse sounds superb.
I could hear the Electric Light Orchestra influence during the first half.
Summer’s End
Prompt:“Create a song in the style of Blink-182 about high school love.”
The result was my absolute favorite of the five songs I generated.
The music itself is very evocative, bringing back memories of the late 90s and early 2000s.
And the AI handled the solo vocals into a build-up very well.
They followed the same structure and had a similar rhythm.
I then explicitly told it not to add any singing.
All in all, Suno did a pretty good job at handling my prompts.
All the songs were listenable, and for a free tool, it’s all pretty impressive stuff.
