We’re so happy cause today we heard there’s a new Nirvana song – sort of.
Monday marked the 27th anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of the seminal US grunge band, and now a mental health charity has used artificial intelligence (AI) to create a ‘new’ Nirvana song by analysing the band's back catalogue.
The haunting track, Drowned In The Sun, has unmistakable undertones of In Utero-era Nirvana, with the vocals provided by Eric Hogan, lead singer of Nevermind, billed as the ultimate tribute to the US rockers.
The song was created as part of a project called Lost Tapes Of The 27 Club, which uses AI To analyse existing works by musicians who all have something in common – they all died at 27 and had struggled with mental health issues.
