You're funny , you're all gun-ho on AI songs , now its real musicians. I guess that's all you need , some talent and a label with a million bucks to break you. I think the facts are the same, Labels want them that age , so they can cash in on them for 10 years .

We’re all built from the same dust and dreams, Different roads, but the same means.
He was discovered on Facebook. Talent, uniqueness, doesn't sound anything like Chicago, it reminds me a bit of indie band, the war on drugs
I'm not GUNG HO about ai, I'm experimenting with it, and compared to songs sitting there collecting dust, it's a usable alternative.
Before ai, and still now, people are using alternatives to real musicians with piano software, drum software, band in a box, ai vocalists, but it was clear what was missing.
The vibrance of a real band can't be duplicated.
And I love to see and hear real musicians, but it's not always practical to do at home, .on Your own watch, and whim
For me, id much rather have a band to work with, but often tines musicians say..."hey, turn me up" or, "hey, why is it always your songs" Or " you worry about your parts, and I'll worry about mine".
There's a difference between performance and writing, Pete Townshend recorded his songs before he ever gave it to the band to work on.
I still very much would like to work like real musicians
Gordon's musical genres have been described as indie, alternative,[3] lo-fi,[2] experimental indie,[13] R&B, and soft-psychedelia.[34] His musical influences include Eric Clapton,[1] Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Perfume Genius, Taj Mahal,[35] The Black Keys, Sly Stone, Larry Graham,[3] Grouper, Julianna Barwick, Down to Earth, and most importantly Jai Paul.[36] In May 2024, when asked about modern guitarists who excite him, Clapton mentioned Gordon, commenting that he is "unique" and that "He has found things to do on the guitar that are like nobody else. [...] And he can do it live." Clapton also compared Gordon's "innovative style" to that of Prince "when [he] came on the scene".[37]
Both artists sound great , Its not rocket science to work with real musicians , Just work and collaborating. Study the song , Figure out what parts to do on it . sing it add BGVS , Have a pro mix it with better ears . you're done . Then promotion , it does no good sitting on your hard drive. You don't go fishing with holes in a boat , So you have to invest in a better boat. You build a house , but do not list it , No one see's it, so it don't sell , Same with a song. if the first band started on FB , some money man with connections found the band to get on major TV is my guess. One minute your on FB with a few thousand fans . Next your on major TV... getting millions of listens .
