I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

A thought-provoking electronic track with a female vocalist pondering the implications of artificial intelligence. Driving beats and synth textures create a futuristic, slightly ominous atmosphere.

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Age Of A.I. (feat. Kara Square)" immediately establishes a distinct, technologically-driven atmosphere. The spoken-word vocal style is a bold choice, and Kara Square's delivery adds a thought-provoking, almost unsettling layer to the track. It feels very intentional, like a musical exploration of a potentially dystopian future. The mix is spacious, the rhythm is solid. What is good is the space, but the rhythmic elements can be improved.
From a compositional standpoint, the song cleverly balances a sense of impending change with a repetitive, almost hypnotic structure. The core melody, delivered through the synths, is simple but effective, creating a sense of urgency. The track also benefits from a sense of dynamic progression; it doesn't feel stagnant. The buildup in the middle section provides a welcome release, adding a subtle emotional peak. The rhythmic programming provides a solid foundation that complements the vocals well.
As production music, this song's strengths lie in its clear thematic focus and evocative atmosphere. It's well-suited for documentaries exploring AI, technological advancements, or even darker sci-fi narratives. Perhaps even some corporate videos touching on these themes. The spoken word element, however, might limit its versatility compared to a purely instrumental track. While the vocal adds a unique character, it also makes the track more niche. A version without the spoken word could broaden its appeal significantly.
Compared to industry-level production music, the track is a solid entry. While it achieves a good balance of sonic elements, the kick drum, for example, could be improved by using alternative samples or fine-tuning the processing to give the track a stronger low-end foundation. Some may find it a bit on the repetitive side, but the variation is sufficient to keep it from being completely monotone. The rating of 77 out of 100 reflects the fact this is a good, usable track.
