A few years ago, generating a full song with vocals from a text prompt was unthinkable. In our review, we counted 25 song generation systems released in 2025 and 2026 alone. Prof. Mateusz Modrzejewski, Joanna frota Kurkowska and I wrote this tutorial to explain how they work.

I am excited to announce the latest paper by Viet-Toan Le, who was a visiting student at the AMAAI Lab, on 'Natural Language Processing Methods for Symbolic Music Generation and Information Retrieval: a Survey'. Viet-Toan did an amazing job at collating and nicely presenting over 225 papers in Music Information Retrieval that are inspired by NLP, as well as presenting the latest challenges and steps forward for the field!
